Decreases in serum levels of S100A8/9 (calprotectin) correlate with improvements in total swollen joint count in patients with recent-onset rheumatoid arthritis

Table 3 Multiple linear regression models for initial total SJCs and change in SJCs^a

^aSJCs, swollen joint counts; SEM, standard error of the mean; CRP, C-reactive protein. r² values are adjusted. ^bExcluded predictors are age and initial S100A12. ^cExcluded predictors are age, initial S100A12, initial S100A8/9, initial CRP, ΔS100A12 and ΔCRP.
