Sensitivity, specificity, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and likelihood ratios were determined for the presence of the PTPN22 1858T variant (CT+TT), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP Abs), rheumatoid factors IgM-RF, IgG-RF and IgA-RF, and carriage of human leukocyte antigen shared epitope (HLA-SE) in pre-patients and matched controls.
