AIM: To compare the diagnostic performance of rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) in the diagnosis of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Taiwan.
METHODS: Serum concentrations of RF and anti-CCP were measured in 246 cases, including 39 patients with RA and 207 patients with other rheumatic diseases (non-RA). The age, sex, clinical presentation, RF, anti-CCP results and the final diagnoses were recorded and analyzed. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive likelihood ratio (LR+) and negative likelihood ratio (LR-) were calculated.
RESULTS: Among all 246 patients, 39 (15.9%) were diagnosed with RA and 207 (84.1%) were diagnosed with other rheumatic diseases (non-RA). In the diagnosis of RA, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, LR+ and LR- of the RF test were 67%, 79%, 37%, 93%, 3.12, and 0.42, respectively. The corresponding data for the anti-CCP test were 79%, 98%, 86%, 96%, 32.91 and 0.21, respectively. The presence of either anti-CCP or RF increased the sensitivity to 85%, and when they both were present, the specificity increased to 98%. Among the 39 RA patients, 26 (66.7%) tested positive for RF, and 31 (79.5%) tested positive for anti-CCP. RF was positive in two of eight anti-CCP-negative patients with RA, and anti-CCP was positive in seven of 13 RF-negative patients with RA.
CONCLUSIONS: The RF and anti-CCP tests are complementary, and the co-detection of these antibodies can increase the detection rate and provide important clinical value in the diagnosis of RA. Both anti-CCP and RF positivity are useful for the diagnosis of RA, and use of both tests together improves the diagnostic sensitivity.
