PG - 711-717 LID - 10.1111/nep.13491 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) at diagnosis can estimate the cross-sectional high activity and predict the poor outcomes in immunosuppressive drug-naive patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 163 patients with AAV and obtained clinical and laboratory data. We calculated Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) as well as five-factor score (FFS) (2009) at diagnosis. SII at diagnosis was calculated by the equation of (SII at diagnosis = platelet count x neutrophil count/lymphocyte count at diagnosis). Severe AAV was defined as BVAS at diagnosis >/=16. The odds ratio was assessed using the multivariable logistic regression analysis and cumulative survival rates were compared by the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS: The median age at diagnosis was 58.0 years old and 51 patients were men. The median BVAS was 12.0. Fifty-seven patients had severe AAV. The median SII at diagnosis was 1349.6. In the multivariable analysis, only SII exhibited a significant odds ratio for the cross-sectional severe AAV (P = 0.043). We obtained the cut-off of SII at diagnosis for severe AAV as 1573.56. Patients with SII at diagnosis >/=1573.56 exhibited a significantly high relative risk of the cross-sectional severe AAV compared to those without (relative risk 4.625). Furthermore, patients with SII at diagnosis >/=1573.56 exhibited significantly the lower cumulative relapse free and renal survivals than those without. CONCLUSION: Systemic immune-inflammation index at diagnosis could estimate the cross-section severe AAV and predict the poor outcomes in AAV patients.
