PG - 758-764 LID - 10.55563/clinexprheumatol/k4m3it [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the effect of the number of metabolic syndrome (MetS) components on all-cause mortality in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) with MetS. METHODS: The medical records of 93 AAV patients with MetS were retrospectively reviewed. MetS was diagnosed when three or more the following MetS components for Asians were met: (i) increased waist circumference; ii) high blood pressure; (iii) hypertriglyceridaemia; (iv) low level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol; and (v) impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). All-cause mortality was defined as death owing to any aetiology. RESULTS: The median age was 61.4 years and 33 patients were men. Among 93 AAV patients with MetS, as the number of MetS components increased, the cumulative patient survival rate significantly decreased (p = 0.024). Compared to surviving AAV patients with MetS, deceased AAV patients with MetS were older, had higher Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) and Five-factor score (FFS), a lower frequency of IFG or T2DM, and a higher number of MetS components. In the multivariable Cox analysis, AAV patients with MetS who had all five MetS components were approximately 62 times more susceptible to all-cause mortality than those who had only three components. In terms of IFG or T2DM, patients with only IFG exhibited a significantly lower cumulative patients' survival rate than those without. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of many MetS components at the initial diagnosis of AAV was an independent and significant predictor of all-cause mortality in AAV patients with MetS.
