Methods: The subjects were patients who visit the rheumatology clinic at one governmental hospital in Bandung, Indonesia. DAS was determined by the QxMD Software based on erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and serum COMP levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical analysis was conducted with IBM SPSS Statistics 23. Results: DAS 28 value was 3.36 ± 0.16 which indicates the moderate disease activity. Serum COMP levels were 843.80 ± 35.79 ng/ml in RA patients and 830.00 ± 48.92 ng/ml in normal controls. Conclusion: There is no correlation between DAS 28 and serum COMP levels in RA patients (p = 0.496 and rho = 0.129).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Autoimmune disease,Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein,Disease activity score 28,Rheumatoid arthritis monitoring[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.22159/ajpcr.2017.v10i1.15251[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
