Should you repeat the dsDNA? SMART-SLE study
>3400 SLE pts, > 37,582 visits. Pts with fluctuating + results or persistently + had higher rates of SLE flares HR 1.56 (95% CI 1.3-1.87, p< 0.001). Inc or Dec dsDNA Ab > 2X from last visit can predict flares @rheumnow #ACR22 abst#0327

#ACR22 Abs 0256 identified different autoantibodies in ACPA+ and ACPA– RA. Study shows potential utility of serum autoantibodies as diagnostic targets for RA subgroups & treatments.
