Data for: Accuracy of red cell distribution width and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in detecting disease activity in Filipino adults with rheumatoid arthritis
Description
Our study aimed to determine whether RDW and NLR correlated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity using DAS-28, and whether these can discriminate between active RA and inactive RA. Dataset 1: Raw data (demographic, clinical, and laboratory) of 134 Filipino adult patients with RA [.xlsx file]. This file features the RDW and NLR values used in the correlation and ROC curve analyses (against DAS-28 and ESR values). The CRP and DAS-28 CRP columns are empty, as none of the patients had test results for CRP (ESR is more widely available in our institution). Dataset 2: Analysis of data using Pearson's r and ROC curves with Stata SE v.12 [.docx file]. This file features tables depicting the r and p-values of correlation analyses between the parameters of interest (RDW and NLR) and DAS-28 ESR and serum ESR, as well as the detailed report of sensitivity and specificity of RDW and NLR for detecting RA disease activity.
