Novel Risk Factors for Thromboembolism in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Researchers conducted a study to examine the frequency of VTEs in ANCA-associated vasculitis, and to identify its novel risk factors.
Vasculitis
Oral Glucocorticoid-Related Infection Incidence in Giant Cell Arteritis
The incidence of infection increases with glucocorticoid dose for patients with polymyalgia rheumatica or giant cell arteritis.
Priority Review Granted to Rituximab for Pediatric Microscopic Polyangiitis
The FDA has accepted for Priority Review the supplemental BLA for Rituxan for use in combination with glucocorticoids for the treatment of granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis in children ≥2 years old.
Orbital Mass Presentation and Management Examined in ANCA-Associated Vasculitides
Researchers described the presentation, therapeutic management, and outcomes of ANCA-associated vasculitides-related orbital mass.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Validated in Systemic Vasculitis
Researchers assessed the feasibility and construct validity of using PROMIS instruments in systemic vasculitis.
Effects of Clinicopathologic Classification in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Researchers assessed the effect of AAV reclassification based on clinicopathologic criteria and ANCA specificity.
Belimumab, Azathioprine Did Not Lower Risk for Relapse in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Belimumab in combination with glucocorticoids and azathioprine did not lower the risk for relapse in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitis.
Mycophenolate Mofetil Noninferior to Cyclophosphamide in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Mycophenolate mofetil was noninferior to cyclophosphamide for remission induction, but resulted in higher rates of relapse.
Survival Predictors Identified in Patients With Biopsy-Proven Giant Cell Arteritis
Researchers evaluated the influence of disease-related findings and treatment outcomes on survival in a population-based cohort of patients with giant cell arteritis.
IgA Vasculitis Associated With Increased Risk for Hypertension, Chronic Kidney Disease
Patients with immunoglobulin A-associated vasculitis were at increased risk for hypertension and chronic kidney disease.
