Incidence and survival rates in Wegener's granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome and polyarteritis nodosa
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence of and survival rates for WG, microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) and PAN within a defined population in southern Sweden. METHODS: Cases were retrieved using hospital records and a serology database. All new cases of WG, MPA, CSS and PAN between 1997 and 2006 were included, provided they met pre-defined criteria, and were followed until 30 June 2008. The study area comprised two health care districts with a total population of 641 000. The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was estimated using Swedish population data as a reference. RESULTS: A total of 140 (WG, 63; MPA 65; CSS 6; and PAN 6) cases (52% women) with a median age of 67.6 (range 20-96) years fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The annual incidence per million of the population (95% CI) was estimated to be 9.8 (7.4-12.2) for WG, 10.1 (7.7-12.6) for MPA and 0.9 (0-1.7) for both CSS and PAN. The highest incidence was found in patients aged >or=75 years (79.1/million). The 1- and 5-year survival rates were 87.8 and 71.6% for all patients, but lower for MPA (80 and 55%) compared with WG (95 and 83%; P = 0.001), although the difference was not significant in the multivariate analysis. The SMR was 2.77 (95% CI 2.02, 3.71) for all patients. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of WG and MPA was equal in our district, but there was a difference in survival rates related to age and renal function. A progressive increase in age-specific incidence rates was observed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
