PR3-ANCA Reactivities with iHm5 and iPR3.

The WGET study* 148 PR3-ANCA–positive samples*
iHm5 positive iPR3 positive
n = 144 n = 135
Comparison of reactivity in 135 samples positive for both antigens
iHm5 > iPR3 iHm5 = iPR3 iHm5 < iPR3
n = 108 n = 26 n = 1
80% 19% 1%
The RAVE trial 129 PR3-ANCA–positive samples**
iHm5 positive iPR3 positive
n = 128 n = 126
Comparison of reactivity in 126 samples positive for both antigens
iHm5 > iPR3 iHm5 = iPR3 iHm5 < iPR3
n = 89 n = 34 n = 3
71% 27% 2%

Comparison of the net absorbance values of the PR3-ANCA reactivity with iHm5 and iPR3. In 71-80% of the samples, a higher PR3-ANCA recognition of iHm5 was documented. Additionally, in 19-27% of the patients, iHm5 and iPR3 were equally recognized. Very few patients displayed higher recognition of iPR3: 1 in the RAVE trial and 3 in the WGET. [When the confidence interval overlapped, the determinations were considered equal.
