Abstract
Background
ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), including granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), is a systemic autoimmune disease. This study represents the first large-scale analysis of AAV hospitalisation rates and in-hospital mortality trends in Spain.
Methods
A retrospective longitudinal analysis of AAV-related hospital admissions between 2016 and 2022 was conducted using the ICD-10 codes from the Minimum Basic Dataset (MBDS) of the Spanish National Health System. Statistical analyses were performed, including odds ratios, Student's t-tests, and Mantel-Haenszel trend tests.
Results
Among 5753 AAV episodes, GPA was the most frequent subtype (53.9 %), followed by MPA (31.5 %) and EGPA (14.6 %). AAV episodes were more frequent in older patients (> 65 years) than in other hospital episodes (62.9 % vs. 38.9 %; OR: 2.66, 95 %CI: 2.51–2.80; P < 0.001). Larger hospitals accounted for more AAV episodes, longer hospital stays, and higher costs. MPA had the highest mortality rate (7.2 % vs. 4.9 %; OR: 1.52, 95 % CI: 1.27–1.79; P < 0.001), particularly in patients over 65 years (83.1 % vs. 61.8 %; OR: 3.04, 95 % CI: 2.47–3.75; P < 0.001) compared with the other AAV. In the GPA group, renal involvement significantly increased mortality compared to GPA cases without renal involvement (6.6 % vs. 4.6 %; OR: 1.46, 95 % CI: 1.16–1.83; P = 0.011). Notably, the relative risk of AAV-related deaths increased over the study period (Z = 2.77, P < 0.01).
Conclusion
AAV, particularly MPA, is associated with increased hospital mortality, particularly among older adults and patients with renal involvement.
期刊介绍:
Autoimmunity Reviews is a publication that features up-to-date, structured reviews on various topics in the field of autoimmunity. These reviews are written by renowned experts and include demonstrative illustrations and tables. Each article will have a clear "take-home" message for readers.
The selection of articles is primarily done by the Editors-in-Chief, based on recommendations from the international Editorial Board. The topics covered in the articles span all areas of autoimmunology, aiming to bridge the gap between basic and clinical sciences.
In terms of content, the contributions in basic sciences delve into the pathophysiology and mechanisms of autoimmune disorders, as well as genomics and proteomics. On the other hand, clinical contributions focus on diseases related to autoimmunity, novel therapies, and clinical associations.
Autoimmunity Reviews is internationally recognized, and its articles are indexed and abstracted in prestigious databases such as PubMed/Medline, Science Citation Index Expanded, Biosciences Information Services, and Chemical Abstracts.
