RESULTS
Table 1 presents the distribution of HLA-B27
antigen in investigated subgroups of patients and controls
from the Vojvodina population. It is noticeable
that a significant increase in HLA-B27 frequency was
found in the subgroup of patients with AS, 62.5% vs.
6.2% in controls, followed by the frequency of 18.1%
in the patients with AAU, 12.5% in patients with
synovitis coxae. The HLA-B27 frequency was similar
in the patients with lumboischialgia (7.1%) and
polyarthralgia (5.8%) compared to controls, while
the frequencies found for the group of patients with
PA and RA (33.3% for both subgroups) cannot reflect
the real situation due to the small number of patients
included in this study.
Table 2 presents the result of calculated risk on
disease susceptibility with HLA-B27. A relative risk
higher than 1 was observed for subgroups of patients
with AS (RR = 25.0), PA and RA (RR = 7.5 for both
subgroups), AAU (RR = 3.33), synovitis coxae (RR
= 2.142) and lumboishialgia (RR = 1.153), but positive
association (EF greater than 0.15 ) was found in
subgroups of patients with AS (EF = 0.600). For PA
and RA subgroups, EF = 0.288 for both of groups, but the very small number of patients was an obstacle
for accurate statistical analysis.
A lower frequency of HLA-B27 antigen compared
to the control group was found in the subgroup
of patients with polyarthralgia (RR = 0.9375) (PF is
lower than 0.15), but negative association was not
statistically significant (χ2 is not greater than 3.841).
The χ2 test showed the significant difference between
HLA-B27 frequencies in the subgroups of patients
with ankylosing spondylitis (χ2 = 52.5) and synovitis
coxae (χ2 = 9.37), in comparison to controls. The χ2
values exceeding 3.841 (corresponding to p <0.05)
were regarded as a stable borderline index for significant
differences between HLA-B27 frequencies
in controls and investigated subgroups of patients.
