OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research was to ascertain the effectiveness of the newly established criteria for classifying IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), as applied to a large Chinese cohort in real-world clinical settings.

METHODS: Patient data were procured from the digital health records of 4 prominent academic hospitals. The criterion standard for identifying IgG4-RD patients was from a seasoned rheumatologist. The control group consisted of individuals with other ailments such as cancer, other forms of pancreatitis, infectious diseases, and illnesses that mimic IgG4-RD.

RESULTS: A total of 605 IgG4-RD patients and 760 mimickers were available for analysis. The 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria have a sensitivity of 69.1% and a specificity of 90.9% in this large Chinese cohort. IgG4-RD had a greater proportion of males (55.89% vs 36.25%, p < 0.001), an older average age at diagnosis (54.91 ± 13.44 vs 48.91 ± 15.71, p < 0.001), more pancreatic (29.59% vs 6.12%, p < 0.001) and salivary gland (63.30% vs 27.50%, p < 0.001) involvement, and a larger number of organ involvement (3.431 ± 2.054 vs 2.062 ± 1.748, p < 0.001) compared with mimickers.

CONCLUSIONS: The 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria are effective in classifying IgG4-RD in Chinese patients, demonstrating high specificity and moderate sensitivity.
