Predicting the depressive status using empirical dietary inflammatory index in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study investigated whether the empirical dietary inflammatory index (eDII) score is associated with the inflammatory burden as well as the depressive status in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV).

Methods

Eighty-four patients with AAV participated in this study. Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) and short-form 36-item Health Survey mental component summary (SF-36 MCS) were considered as indices assessing the inflammatory burden and depressive status, respectively. The eDII includes 16 food components and consists of three groups: -9 to -2, the low eDII group; -1 to +1, the moderate eDII group; and +2 to +10, the high eDII group. Furthermore, the lower eDII group includes both the low and moderate eDII groups
