ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
We investigated whether first-year cumulative myeloperoxidase (MPO)-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) and proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA titres were associated with all-cause mortality and relapse during follow-up in patients with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granMETHODS:
Altogether, 74 patients with MPA and 40 with GPA were included in this study. Their clinical data at diagnosis were collected. First-year cumulative ANCA titres were defined as the area under the curve (AUC) of ANCA titres during the first year after MPA or GPA diagnosis, which was obtained using the trapezoidal rule. All-cause mortality and relapse were considered poor outcomes of MPA and GPA.RESULTS:
The median ages of patients with MPA and GPA were 65.5 and 60.5 years, respectively. No significant correlation was observed between ANCA titres at diagnosis and concurrent MPA and GPA activity or the inflammatory burden. First-year cumulative MPO-ANCA titres exhibited a significant AUC for all-cause mortality during follow-up in patients with MPA. The optimal cut-off of first-year cumulative MPO-ANCA titres for all-cause mortality was determined as 720.8 IU/mL using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. MPA patients with first-year cumulative MPO-ANCA titres ≥720.8 IU/mL exhibited a significantly higher risk for all-cause mortality than those without (relative risk 13.250). Additionally, MPA patients with first-year cumulative MPO-ANCA titres ≥720.8 IU/mL exhibited a significantly lower cumulative patients' survival rate than those without.CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first study to demonstrate the association between first-year cumulative MPO-ANCA titres and all-cause mortality during follow-up in patients with MPA.
