IL6 and rheumatoid arthritis: There was a significantly positive correlation between IL‐6 with DAS‐28 (p = 0.007, r = 0.346), BPS (p = 0.002, r = 0.396), BPD (p = 0.046, r = 0.259), SCORE (p < 0.001, r = 0.472) and FRS (p < 0.001, r = 0.553), and a negative correlation with HDL‐Col (p = 0.037, r = −0.270), in early and late RA patients.
