Combined sensitivity = sensitivity of American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) 2010 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) classification criteria + sensitivity of the new test. Combined specificity = specificity of ACR/EULAR 2010 RA classification criteria + specificity of the new test.
