Table 5 Pooled analysis of the association between smoking and the presence of anti-CCP2, RF, and anti-CarP

From: Smoking is associated with the concurrent presence of multiple autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis rather than with anti-citrullinated protein antibodies per se: a multicenter cohort study
