On to the methods.
Matched cohort study.
GCA or AAV.
1996 - 2020.
#Vasculitis22
What were the characteristics of the cohorts?
Clinical outcomes - more cancer, CVD, infection and death than in hospital matched controls even with adjustment in both cohorts.
#Vasculitis22
Some variation geographically.
Cancer outcomes interestingly more homogeneous - perhaps explained by well defined cancer networks in Scotland.
