The field of Rheumatology is an ever-nascent field with an incredible expansion in our therapeutic armamentarium over the past half century. An example of such advancement is easily appreciated when reflecting on the innovative treatment approach to Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), the most common form of vasculitis in patients older than 50 years of age.

COVID-19 changes everything, but our vasculitis patients particularly have had some really difficult decisions to make.

We're getting better at treating vasculitis over time.
In-hospital mortality in pts primarily admitted with vasculitis is got much closer to all-comers 1998-2014 (US NIS). Hopefully with more new meds, we've closed the gap even more since!

National Inpatient Sample claims: ANCA Assoc vasculitis pts hospitalized with acute MI (AMI) had a no increase in mortality rate (5.3% vs. 4.7%) during 2016-2017, suggesting potentially better control w/ new meds (RTX), less steroids #ACR20 Abstr#1424 https://t.co/TYELUAjm9d

Patients diagnosed w/ #ANCA #vasculitis aged >75yrs have lower risk of relapse than pts 65-75yrs. Pts >75yrs less likely to be treated w/ immunosuppression & steroids but do benefit from this treatment when it is required.
