Prediction of long-term drug-free outcomes in ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative rheumatoid arthritis by combined clinical and ultrasound assessment of residual disease: a 5-year pros... by Carlomaurizio Montecucco, Garifallia Sakellariou, Claudia Alpini, Catherine Klersy, Serena Bugatti, Ludovico De Stefano, Emanuele Bozzalla Cassione, Antonio Manzo, Blerina Xoxi, Terenzj Luvaro, Ylenia Sammali

“…ACPA-positive patients in Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) remission displayed a flare-free survival estimate at 5 years of 6.4% (95% CI 1.2 to 35.7) versus 78.2% (95% CI 67.4 to 90.8) for ACPA-negative patients in SDAI remission without residual US-GS alteration in hands’ joints (n=59); the latter group showing no evidence of radiographic progression and functional deterioration.Conclusions Long-term DF remission is attainable in a niche subset of ACPA-negative RA. Examining clinical and subclinical residual synovial abnormalities during remission allows for effective preemptive identification of this subset in real life.…”
