Ab0658 prediction of the Effectiveness of Treatment With Infliximab Based on the Determination of Antinuclear Antibodies in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis
Abstract:Background:The search for new methods for predicting the effectiveness of treatment for biologics is important issue.Objectives:To study antinuclear antibodies (ANA) levels during of AS treatment by infliximab and evaluate the influence of ANA on treatment outcomeMethods:The presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in 53 ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients (44 men (83.02%), and 9 women (16.98%), 37.19 ± 9.38 years (95% CI: 34.60-39.78) treated with infliximab was determined by indirect immunofluorescence on a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
