A New Formula Consisting of the Initial Independent Predictors of All-Cause Mortality Derived from a Single-Centre Cohort of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis.

ABSTRACT: Objective: In this study, we develop a new formula for predicting all-cause mortality in an ethnicity/region-specific cohort of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods: We included 290 Korean patients with AAV in this study and retrospectively reviewed their medical records regarding clinical data at diagnosis and during follow-up. We introduce a new index, called the NFPM value after the initials of New Formula for Predicting Mortality, which we derived using the independent predictors of all-cause mortality obtained in the multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis. The cut-offs of the parameters for mortality were determined using the highest or lowest tertile of each parameter according to its positive or negative association with all-
