Anti-cyclic-citrullinated-protein-antibodies in psoriatic arthritis patients: how autoimmune dysregulation could affect clinical characteristics, retention rate of methotrexate monotherapy and first line biotechnological drug survival. A single center retrospective study.

Anti-CCP in PsA could be suggestive of more severe disease, with worse drug survival of both methotrexate monotherapy and first-line b-DMARDs, and higher chance to be b-DMARDs multi-failure. So, they can be considered for more intensive clinical management of these patients.
