Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides ( CCP ) antibodies combined rheumatoid factors (RF) on elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods From January 2012 to December 2014, 29 cases of elder patients in our hospital with rheumatoid arthritis (elder RA group, age >60 year), 47 cases of elderly health control group (elder RA group, age≥60), and 48 cases of elder patients without rheumatoid arthritis (non-elder RA group, age<60 year) were selected.The anti-CCP antibodies and rheumatoid factor (RF) levels of three groups were detected, and the significance of anti-CCP antibody combined RF on the diagnosis of elderly rheumatoid arthritis was analyzed.Results Diagnostic positive rate of anti-CCP antibodies +RF was significantly higher than that of anti-CCP antibodies, and the difference was significant (χ2 =7.632, P =0.006).Diagnostic positive rate of anti-CCP antibodies +RF was higher than that of RF, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =3.107, P=0.078).The diagnostic positive rate of anti-CCP antibodies, RF, and anti-CCP antibodies +RF for diagnosis of elderly rheumatoid arthritis had no statistically difference with that of non-elderly RA group.The sensitivity and negative predictive value of anti-CCP antibodies +RF was higher than that of only anti-CCP antibodies and RF.The area under the ROC curve of detecting anti-CCP +RF was 0.786, which was higher than that of anti-CCP antibodies (0.699) and RF (0.663), indicated that the reliability of anti-CCP antibodies +RF was higher than that of anti-CCP antibodies and RF.Conclusion The anti-CCP antibodies and RF can diagnose elderly rheumatoid arthritis, and anti-CCP antibodies combined RF has more clinical significance.
