Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the clinical features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients with ACPA-negative and ACPA-positive variants, using standardized diagnostic criteria for accuracy.
- It involved 158 patients (79 ACPA-positive and 79 ACPA-negative) and assessed aspects like disease activity, joint involvement, and systemic manifestations using various indices.
- Findings revealed that ACPA-positive patients exhibited higher disease activity, more swollen joints, and systemic symptoms compared to ACPA-negative patients, suggesting a more severe clinical picture in the ACPA-positive group.
Unlabelled: The objective of this study was to assess the level of antibodies to carbamylated proteins and analyze the clinical and immunological associations in patients with ACPA-negative and ACPA-positive variants of rheumatoid arthritis.
Materials And Methods: . The study involved 150 patients with a reliable diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and 25 patients as healthy controls.
