Synopsis:

We investigated the diagnosis capability and extent of anti-RA 33 positivity and clinical characteristics in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We highlight a strong negative correlation between anti-RA 33 positivity and the quality of life. Anti-RA 33 antibodies may exert helpful effects determining prognosis in established RA patients though have poor diagnostic capability.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Autoantibodies are evident in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and play important roles in diagnosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic capability and extent of anti-RA 33 positivity and clinical characteristics in patients with RA.
