Association among anti-citrullinated protein antibody status, erosive disease and healthcare resource utilization in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Conclusions: ACPA seropositivity with erosive disease was associated with higher rates of HCRU compared with seropositivity without erosions. These findings suggest that providers may want to manage anti-CCP + patients aggressively to achieve better disease control to prevent the development of erosions and the associated increase in HCRU.
