Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of using anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibody or rheumatoid factor(RF) as the single laboratory parameter for rheumatoid arthritis(RA) diagnosis ,versus to using the two parameters in com‐bination .Methods A total of 56 cases of patients with RA were enrolled into RA group ,other 34 cases of patients with out RA were enrolled into non‐RA group .Levels of anti‐CCP antibody and RF were detected by using electro‐chemiluminescence immunoas‐say(ECLIA)and compared between the two groups .And the diagnostic efficacy of single and combined detection of anti‐CCP anti‐body and RF were evaluated .Results The levels of anti‐CCP antibody and RF in the RA group were higher than those in the non‐RA group ,had statistically significant differences(P<0 .05) .In diagnosis of RA ,the areas under receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve of anti‐CCP antibody and RF were 0 .925 and 0 .822 respectively .The sensitivity and specificity of anti‐CCP antibody were both higher than those of RF .Compared with single detection of anti‐CCP antibody ,there was no significant increase of sensi‐tivity in using anti‐CCP antibody/RF ,whereas the specificity dropped significantly .Combined detection of anti‐CCP antibody and RF ,compared with single detection of anti‐CCP antibody ,had significantly lower sensitivity ,but no significant changes were found in specificity .Conclusion Single detection of anti‐CCP antibody is more effective than RF for diagnosing RA ,while combined detec‐tion of anti‐CCP antibody and RF could not significantly improve the specificity and sensitivity .It is suggested to only use anti‐CCP antibody for diagnosis of RA .
