Table 4 Correlation between serum ESR, DAS28, and DKK-1

From: Serum Dickkopf-1 as a potential prognostic marker in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

		DKK–1 (pg/mL)	ESR 1st h.
ESR 1 h. (mm.)	r	0.845
ESR 1 h. (mm.)	P value	0.001*
DAS 28	r	0.818	0.736
DAS 28	P value	0.001*	0.001*

DKK–1 Dickkopf-1, ESR 1h. erythrocyte sedimentation rate (first hour), DAS28 Disease Activity Score using 28 joints count, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, *P<0.05 indicates significant difference
