Because ANCA specificity has been shown to be predictive of relapse, a patient’s AAV type can affect their life expectancy. Patients with autoantibodies against PR3 are more than twice as likely to relapse as those who have autoantibodies against the MPO protein.
Read more about AAV life expectancy. Effects of Treatment on Prognosis of GPA. The prognosis for patients with GPA has improved with the use of immunosuppressive therapy, but the overall survival and risk of relapse vary depending on the severity and extent of organ involvement.
Sep 17, 2019 · Results. 83 patients were included in the study and were followed for a median of 1203 days. Median age was 74 years (range 65–92). Two- and five-year survival in the overall cohort were 83% (95% CI 75, 92%) and 75% (95% CI 65, 86%), respectively.

Dec 17, 2019 · Results. The cohort included 484 patients with a mean diagnosis age of 58 years; 40% were male, 65% were MPO-ANCA +, and 65% had renal involvement. During 3385 person-years (PY) of follow-up, 130 patients died, yielding a mortality rate of 38.4/1000 PY and a SMR of 2.3 (95% CI: 1.9, 2.8).

Jul 7, 2015 · The life expectancy at birth was 75.3 years in the Czech Republic in 2003, compared with 78.3 years in the United Kingdom and 80.2 years in Sweden . The effect of differences in life expectancies in the general population when comparing the survival of AAV is difficult to discern.

clear ANCA and antibodies to myeloperoxidase. The prevalence of MPA ranges from 0 to 66 cases per million among European countries and 86 cases per million in Japan (1,2). EGPA is characterized histologically by eosinophilic tissue infiltration in addition to vasculitis. Common clinical manifestations

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis comprises three syndromes, all with frequent respiratory manifestations. Studies indicate that ANCA specificity is more important for prognosis, relapse risk, response to therapy and outcomes than the specific diagnosis.
