ROC curve analysis: Area Under the Curve (AUC) for considered biomarkers in good or moderate-EULAR responders compared to poor-EULAR responder RA patients.

aUnder the nonparametric assumption; bNull hypothesis: true area  = 0.5.
*Subjects included in the group “moderate-EULAR response” were patients that have reached good or moderate response. CRP = C-reactive protein; ESR =  erythrocyte sedimentation rate; HAQ = Health Assessment Questionnaire; BAFF =  B cell activating factor; IL =  interleukin; CCP = cyclic citrullinated protein; RF =  rheumatoid factor; MCV =  modified citrullinated vimentin; AB =  autoantibodies.
