Medical records of 160 patients classified as AAV from October 2000 to September 2017 were reviewed. We calculated the Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) and collected laboratory data including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) level, white blood cell, lymphocyte, and platelet counts, and serum albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase levels at diagnosis. PNI at diagnosis was calculated as (10 × serum albumin [g/dL] + 0.005 × lymphocyte count [/mm3 ]). Associations between laboratory variables, PNI, and BVAS were assessed by linear regression analyses, and Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to evaluate factors associated with disease relapse.
