| Abstract: | Introduction To investigate whether baseline levels of anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) or IgM rheumatoid factor (IgM-RF) and
changes in the year thereafter are associated with disease activity, functional and radiographic outcome in early arthritis
patients, and provide additional information over baseline autoantibody status. |
