Abstract

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory multisystemic disorder that can cause significant deformity and disability. Vitamin D has a role in Th1-medicated autoimmune diseases like RA. Furthermore, some observational studies have concluded that Vitamin D supplementation reduces the severity of RA.

Aims: This study aimed to find out any correlation between Vitamin D levels and severity of early RA.

Settings and design: This study settings and design were a cross-sectional single-center observational study.

Materials and methods: This was an observational study. All patients with early RA were screened and evaluated as per protocol. No extra tests were done.

Statistical analysis used: Pearson's Chi-square test for independence of attributes/Fisher's exact test was used to find the association between the categorical variables as appropriate.

Results and conclusion: We found that all patients of early RA had moderate-tosevere disease activity without any relation with their Vitamin D level (P > 0.05).
