The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of AFR and CALLY index in UC.Methods: The study included 109 UC patients and 126 healthy controls. For UC patients treated with Vedolizumab (50 patients), they were categorized into mucosal healing group (MH group) and non- mucosal healing group (non-MH group) based on Mayo endoscopic score (MES) after 14 weeks of treatment. The differences in AFR and CALLY index were compared between the UC group and the healthy control group, and between the MH group and the non-MH group. Then, the correlation of the AFR and CALLY index with UC activity was assessed, and the predictive value of the AFR and CALLY index was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results: The results showed that both AFR and CALLY index were significantly decreased in the UC group compared with the healthy control group (both p< 0.001); the area under the curve (AUC) of the AFR and CALLY index differentiating between the healthy control group and the UC group were 0.782 and 0.773, respectively. For Vedolizumab treatment, the non-MH group had significantly lower baseline AFR and CALLY index compared to the MH group; the AUC for baseline AFR and CALLY index discriminating the MH group from the non-MH group were 0.665 and 0.721, respectively. In addition, AFR and CALLY index were negatively correlated with the MES and inflammatory load of UC. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the CALLY index was an independent predictor of UC diagnosis and mucosal healing after 14 weeks of Vedolizumab treatment.Conclusion: AFR and CALLY index can be used as novel serologic markers for diagnosing UC and predicting the efficacy of Vedolizumab treatment.Keywords: albumin to fibrinogen ratio, CALLY index, ulcerative colitis, Vedolizumab, mucosal healing, biomarkers |
