Association of a multibiomarker disease activity score at multiple time-points with radiographic progression in rheumatoid arthritis: results from the SWEFOT trial.

After inclusion of rheumatoid factor and BL erosions in multivariate logistic regression analyses, however, the MBDA score at BL, but not DAS28-CRP, achieved borderline significance. 33 In our previous study based on this trial, we demonstrated the independent predictive ability of the MBDA score at BL for subsequent 1 year RRP. 25 This result posed a question concerning the role of the MBDA score in patients with RA whose disease (and MBDA score) is already affected by treatment.
