Abstract
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Rheumatoid Factor (RF) is one of the criteria for diagnosis of RA, and there is fewer evidence for an early detection. In this study, we explored the levels of both Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide antibodies (Anti-CCP)and RF for an early diagnosis of RA before there is radiological structural changes in the joints.
Material and methods: In this prospective observational study conducted over a period of one-year, medical records of 355 subjects were evaluated. Data was compiled of Anti-CCP, RF levels, along with clinical diagnosis and other biochemical parameters. Based on clinical evaluation and serological evidence, 155 patients were diagnosed as positive cases of RA. Sensitivity and specificity were also calculated for Anti-CCP and RF.
Results: Compared to other age groups, female (72.7%) of 41-50 years (p <0.05) were significantly affected as compared to male (42%) in similar age group. Our results showed sensitivity and specificity (80.5%, 100% respectively) for Anti-CCP and that for RF was (86.1%, 96.6 respectively).Association of Anti-CCP with RF was tested using Fisher’s exact test, that showed a significant association (p?0.05).
Conclusion: There is a significant association between Anti-CCP and RF in RA patient and Anti-CCP can be used as an early and specific marker for detection of RA.
