Risk factors for serious infections in ANCA-associated vasculitis

Balazs Odler, Regina Riedl, Philipp Gauckler, Jae Il Shin, Johannes Leierer, Peter A. Merkel, William St Clair, Fernando Fervenza, Duvuru Geetha, Paul Monach, David Jayne, Rona M. Smith, Alexander Rosenkranz, Ulrich Specks, John H. Stone, Andreas Kronbichler

Summary: This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with severe infections in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). The use of low-dose TMP/SMX was found to be associated with a reduced risk of severe infections in patients treated with either rituximab (RTX) or cyclophosphamide (CYC)/azathioprine (AZA). Reduced B cell subpopulations at the start of treatment may be a useful indicator of reduced immunocompetence.

Risk factors for hypogammaglobulinemia and association with relapse and severe infections in ANCA-associated vasculitis: A cohort study

Johanne Liberatore, Yann Nguyen, Jerome Hadjadj, Pascal Cohen, Luc Mouthon, Xavier Puechal, Loic Guillevin, Benjamin Terrier

Summary: B-cell depletion induced by rituximab (RTX) in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) can lead to decreased gammaglobulin levels, which is associated with an increased risk of relapse and severe infections. Older age, low gammaglobulin levels, and receiving pulses of methylprednisolone at induction therapy are risk factors for gammaglobulin decline.

Association between kinetic of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), renal survival and relapse risk in ANCA glomerulonephritis

Clement Samoreau, Giorgina Barbara Piccoli, Cecile Martin, Philippe Gatault, Emeline Vinatier, Frank Bridoux, Jeremie Riou, Alice Desouche, Pierre Jourdain, Jean-Philippe Coindre, Samuel Wacrenier, Fanny Guibert, Nicolas Henry, Odile Blanchet, Anne Croue, Assia Djema, Lise-Marie Pouteau, Marie-Christine Copin, Celine Beauvillain, Jean-Francois Subra, Jean-Francois Augusto, Benoit Brilland

Summary: This study found that ANCA specificity is associated with the progression and renal prognosis of ANCA-associated vasculitis with glomerulonephritis. Recurrent or persistent MPO-ANCA is associated with lower renal recovery potential and higher risk of kidney failure, while recurrent or persistent PR3-ANCA is associated with a greater risk of relapse. Therefore, ANCA kinetics can help identify patients with a smouldering disease.

Summary: In patients with severe COVID-19, the development of AKI was associated with inflammatory blood markers, therapy with hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin, vasopressor requirement, and hypertension. Hypertension and the use of vasopressor drugs were independently associated with a higher risk of AKI in COVID-19 patients. Paying attention to the protocol, hypertension, and certain blood markers may help doctors make decisions in managing COVID-19 patients with AKI.

Risk Factors and Incidence of Epilepsy after Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Matthew Pease, Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez, Ava Puccio, Enyinna Nwachuku, James F. Castellano, David O. Okonkwo, Jonathan Elmer

Summary: The incidence of post-traumatic epilepsy after severe traumatic brain injury was investigated. The cumulative incidence of post-traumatic epilepsy at 5 years was found to be 25%, increasing to 32% at 15 years, compared to historical reports. Among patients with a single late seizure (>7 days post-trauma), the risk of seizure recurrence was 62% after 1 year and 82% at 10 years. Age, decompressive hemicraniectomy, and intracranial infection were identified as independent predictors of post-traumatic epilepsy. Patients with severe traumatic brain injury and a single late post-traumatic seizure are likely to require long-term antiseizure medication.

Prognostic factors associated with advanced chronic kidney disease in a cohort of patients with ANCA vasculitis and renal involvement

Gelsomina Alle, Marina Scolnik, Valeria Scaglioni, John F. Jaramillo Gallego, Carlos. F. F. Varela, Gustavo Greloni, Javier Rosa, Enrique. R. R. Soriano

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate prognostic factors associated with advanced chronic kidney disease (ACKD) in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis and renal involvement. A retrospective observational study was conducted to collect clinical-analytical data, renal histopathology, and treatment information of patients diagnosed with ANCA glomerulonephritis between 2001 and 2016. The results suggested that creatinine at diagnosis and eGFR after 6 and 12 months of treatment were the best predictors of ACKD at the end of follow-up.
