Studies have shown that anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) titers can be useful in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We evaluate the association between anti-CCP antibody titers and the demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of RA patients. Moreover, we explore whether there is any relation between joint destruction and demographic and clinical characteristics of RA patients.
