Value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein for classification of early axial spondyloarthritis: results from the DESIR cohort

In the subgroup of patients with negative CRP, mean serum levels of hsCRP were also higher in axSpA patients compared with no-SpA patients (1.7 mg/l vs 1.5 mg/l, p=0.03). [...]after dichotomising hsCRP, more patients within the axSpA group had positive hsCRP (33.1%) versus the no-SpA group (27.6%),...

Zusammenfassung:	In the subgroup of patients with negative CRP, mean serum levels of hsCRP were also higher in axSpA patients compared with no-SpA patients (1.7 mg/l vs 1.5 mg/l, p=0.03). [...]after dichotomising hsCRP, more patients within the axSpA group had positive hsCRP (33.1%) versus the no-SpA group (27.6%), although this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.06) ( table 2 ).
