Anti-Jo-1 autoantibodies: biomarkers of severity and evolution of the disease in antisynthetase syndrome

Arthritis Res TherPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Our results suggest that anti-Jo-1 autoantibody concentration could be a predictive marker of the severity and evolution of ASS

Study context

Population
Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) patients with at least one positive anti-Jo-1 measure, 2015–202029 with ≥2 determinations
Participants
48 patients
Exposure
Anti-Jo-1 concentrations vs ASS severity and activity
Outcome
Anti-Jo-1 concentration vs severity and activity

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

P = 0.016

Correlation of anti-Jo-1 with MITAX (r), p = 0.03
0.4
Correlation of anti-Jo-1 with creatine kinase (r), p = 0.002
0.34
Correlation of anti-Jo-1 fluctuations with MITAX during follow-up (r), p < 0.0001
0.7

Observational data: associations, not effects.
