This study tested the hypothesis that PAD4 and NETs influence experimental atherogenesis and in processes implicated in superficial erosion, a form of plaque complication we previously associated with NETs.
RA patients with BD had reduced erosion on hand radiographs (OR=0.57, 95% CI: 0.34-0.95, p=0.029) adjusted for age, sex, disease duration, smoking, RF, anti-CCP, SE, and PADI4.
