Popis: Background Calprotectin (MRP8/MRP14, S100A8/A9) is a major leukocyte protein previously shown to be associated with disease activity in patients with established rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and some studies indicate that it may be a more accurate measure of joint inflammation than erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-reactive protein (CRP). Objectives To compare the associations of calprotectin, ESR and CRP to clinical and ultrasound measures of inflammation in patients with early RA, both before and after 12 months of aggressive disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) treatment. Methods RA-patients (n=238) who fulfilled the 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criteria were recruited to the ARCTIC trial between 2010 and 2013. All patients had symptom duration from first swollen joint Results A total of 217 patients were included: 61% female, 71% RF positive, 82% ACPA positive, mean (SD) age 53.5 (13.7) years, mean DAS 3.46 (1.17), median [25, 75 percentile] disease duration 5.7 [2.8, 10.4] months. At 12 months mean DAS was 1.25 (0.72); 74% were in remission according to DAS, 17% low, 9% moderate and 0% high DAS. The median baseline/12 month calprotectin was 1028 [567, 2158]/485 [293, 802] μg/L, ESR 19 [11, 31]/9 [5, 14] mm/h and CRP 7 [3, 18]/3 [1, 5] mg/L. Calprotectin was significantly correlated to clinical, laboratory and US measures of inflammation before treatment onset (table). After 12 months of treatment, calprotectin had a weaker, but statistically significant correlation to US scores, while no association between ESR/CRP and US scores was found. Conclusions Calprotectin was correlated to inflammation assessed by ultrasound before onset of DMARD treatment, and the association was also present after 12 months of DMARD treatment. The data support that calprotectin might be of interest when assessing disease activity in different stages of RA.
