Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Follow-up of Anti-Carbamylated Antibody Status in Rheumatoid Arthritis (NCT NCT02958319)

NCT ID: NCT02958319

Last Updated: 2022-01-04

Results Overview

To explore the clinical differences in activity indexes (DAS28-ESR) at 6, 12 and 18 months of follow-up according the anti-CarP status. The DAS28 is a composite score derived from 4 measures, one of them can be the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). We will be using the DAS28-ESR version. To calculate the DAS28-ESR the rheumatologist or specialist nurse will:- count the number of swollen joints (out of the 28), count the number of tender joints (out of the 28), take blood to measure ESR, ask participants to make a 'global assessment of health' (indicated by marking a 10 cm line between very good and very bad). DAS28-ESR is calculated with classic calculators and resulting values are interpreted as follows: \<2.6: disease remission 2.6 - 3.2: low disease activity 3.2 - 5.1: moderate disease activity \>5.1: high disease activity

Participant Flow

278 patients were recruited in the study because they fullfilled the four follow-up visits in a retrospective/prospective manner after the informed consent signature and blood sample collection. After antibody analysis, 145 patients were found to be anti-CarP negative and 133 to be anti-CarP positive.
