Methods Patients with UA exclusion of definite non-rheumatoid arthritis RA diagnoses included in the Norwegian very early arthritis clinic were assessed for development of persistent arthritic disease. The effect of antibody level on the likelihood of persistent arthritis was investigated and the sensitivity and specificity for persistent arthritis for anti-CCP and IgM RF separately and combined was determined. Results A total of 376 UA patients were included median arthritis duration 32 days . 59 15.7 patients were IgM RF positive and 62 16.5 anti-CCP positive. One hundred seventy-four 46.3 had persistent disease after one year. Overlap of anti-CCP and IgM RF positivity was 58 . Sensitivity specificity for persistent arthritis was 28 95 for IgM RF alone 30 95 for anti-CCP alone and 37 92 for positivity of both anti-CCP and IgM RF. The likelihood for persistent disease increased with increasing levels of both anti-CCP and IgM RF. Conclusions The likelihood of developing persistent arthritis in UA patients increases with the level of anti-CCP and IgM RF. Testing both anti-CCP and IgM RF has added predictive .
