Anti-CCP2, load of ACPA fine-specificities, and IgM RF at RA diagnosis are associated with an increased risk of future VTE in RA. Antibodies to citrullinated fibrinogen did not differ substantially from other ACPA fine-specificities. Autoreactivity to other post-translational modifications were not associated with VTE risk.
