ACR/EULAR-2010 classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rely heavily on the presence of anti-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA). The role of anti-carbamylated protein antibodies (anti-CarP) in this context is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the value of anti-CarP for RA classification in patients with early inflammatory arthritis.
