Prediction of response of methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis using serum lipidomics

Abstract Methotrexate (MTX) is a common first-line treatment for new-onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, MTX is ineffective for 30–40% of patients and there is no way to know which patients might benefit. Here, we built statistical models based on serum lipid levels measured at two time-points...
