Glucocorticoid treatment and damage in the anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody-associated vasculitides: long-term data from the European Vasculitis Study Group trials
“…Despite improvement in mortality and morbidity with newer treatment regimens, the risk of relapse in AAV is 35% over 5 years 3. Many patients experience persistent disease activity, long-term exposure to toxic therapies4 and the psychosocial impact of a serious illness 5…”
The AAV-PRO, a new disease-specific PRO measure for AAV, has good face and construct validity, is reliable, feasible and discriminates among disease states.

“…Eine die remissionserhaltende Therapie begleitende niedrig dosierte GC-Therapie über längere Zeit trägt zur Kontrolle der Krankheitsaktivität und Reduktion des Rezidivrisikos bei. Eine fortgesetzte GC-Therapie ist jedoch mit einer höhe-ren Rate chronischer Organschäden bei AAV-Patienten assoziiert [195].…”

“…Diese können sowohl durch die AAV selbst als auch durch unerwünschte Arzneimittelwirkungen der immunsuppressiven Therapie bedingt sein [211]. Eine länger dauernde GC-Therapie ist mit einer erhöhten Rate an chronischen Organschäden assoziiert [195]. …”
“…The most common potentially treatment-related items were hypertension (41.5%), osteoporosis (14.1%), malignancy (12.6) and diabetes (10.4%) [44]. High levels of damage were associated with older age, worse renal function, higher disease activity at presentation and the number of relapses and duration of glucocorticoid therapy during followup [45].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
