Background
Accurate classification of patients with inflammatory bowel disease into the subtypes ulcerative
colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) is still a challenge, but important for therapy and
prognosis.
Objectives
To evaluate the diagnostic utility of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies specific for proteinase-
3 (PR3-ANCA) for ulcerative colitis (UC) and the value of an antibody panel incorporating
PR3-ANCA to differentiate between Crohn’s disease (CD) and UC.
Study design
In this cohort study, 122 pediatric and adolescent individuals were retrospectively included
(61 IBD patients of two clinical centers, 61 non-IBD controls). All subjects had a comprehensive
antibody profile done from stored sera taken close to time of diagnosis. By employing
quasi-exhaustive logistic regression the best discriminative model for UC and CD,subjects
was determined in a training cohort and confirmed in a validation cohort.
Results
PR3-ANCA was specifically associated with UC (odds ratio (OR), 17.6; 95% confidence
interval (CI); 3.6, 87); P < .001). A four antibody-panel including PR3-ANCA had an AUC of
90.81% (95%CI; 81.93, 99.69) to distinguish between UC and CD in the training cohort. In a
smaller external validation cohort, the AUC was 84.13% (95%CI; 64.21, 100) for accurate
diagnosis of CD and UC.
Conclusion
PR3-ANCA is highly specific for UC. The differentiating capability of a panel, which contains
PR3-ANCA and weighs broadly available antibodies, is superior and utilization of the panel
can support accurate classification in the work-up of pediatric and adolescent patients with
IBD patients.
