In addition, the proportions of US7 points accounted for by different joint regions and joint surfaces were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n RF, CRP, and ESR were significantly increased in the RA group compared with the control group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). In the RA group, DAS28 (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0.561,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01), RF (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.635,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01), ESR (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.585,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01), and CRP (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.492,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01) were positively correlated with US7. In terms of contributions to US7, the most susceptible joint surface is the dorsal surface, and the most susceptible joint area is the dorsal wrist.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n
