Abstract

Core disease activity indicators of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been found to be limited in predicting joint destruction progression. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 3 plays an essential role in joint destruction and was found elevated in some remission patients. We aimed to monitor dynamic core disease activity indicators and serum MMP-3 for one year and evaluate their value for predicting radiographic progression. Patients with active RA (Simplified disease activity index > 3.3) were treated according to the treat-to-target strategy. Serum MMP-3 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and clinical data were collected simultaneously at 0, 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th month. X-ray assessment of hand/wrist was repeated at baseline and the 12th month and a change of total Sharp score > 0.5 units was defined as radiographic progression. Fifty-six patients completed one year follow-up and 29 % showed radiographic progression. Although not significantly different at baseline, serum MMP-3 and all core disease activity indicators, except for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, at the 12th month were significantly higher in the progressive group than in the non-progressive group. Among sixteen progressive patients, 69 % achieved the therapeutic target and 56 % had continuous elevated serum MMP-3, 38 % had continuous elevated serum MMP-3 and normal C-reactive protein (CRP) at the 6th month. Log-rank tests and repeated measures analysis revealed a significant difference in dynamic serum MMP-3 between progressive and non-progressive patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve and univariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated serum MMP-3 at 0, 1st, 3rd and 6th months, compared with CRP at the 1st month, were significant predictors for one-year radiographic progression (MMP-3 odds ratio (OR):10.500 ~ 27.000, all P < 0.05; CRP: OR = 7.400, P = 0.011). Our data showed that continuously elevated serum MMP-3 for 3 ~ 6 months predicted one-year radiographic progression which implied that monitoring of dynamic serum MMP-3 combined with core disease activity indicators may be more helpful for predicting radiographic progression and treatment decision in RA.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 October 2015.
All research outputs
#17,286,379
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Arthritis Research & Therapy
#2,536
of 3,381 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#174,276
of 291,148 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arthritis Research & Therapy
#80
of 94 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,381 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.2. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 291,148 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 94 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
