“…Previous studies of Colombian patients have indicated some associations of genetic factors with RA disease [5,6]. Lower erosion scores in African Colombian patients than in mestizo Colombian patients have been observed [7], which highlights the fact that both ethnicity and geography are important factors influencing clinical presentation and course of disease [5,7]. The main objective of the current study was to measure the extent to which genetic and immune factors, familial RA, and clinical characteristics of disease affect the age at appearance of substantial joint damage in Colombian patients with RA by using Weibull survival analysis [8], which essentially measured the size of the effects of relevant variables on the time to reach a substantial joint damage.…”

“…En el presente estudio se observó una mayor prevalencia de anti-CCP (94%) que de FR IgA (86%). La prevalencia de FR IgA fue idéntica a la anteriormente reportada en otro grupo de pacientes con AR de Medellín (11). Dado que la distribución de los isotipos de autoanticuerpos puede variar con la raza (11), la evaluación del valor predictivo entre anti-CCP y FR IgA en nuestra población podría ser objeto de futuras investigaciones.…”
