Relationship Between Gender and 1-Year Mortality in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis Patients: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The relationship between gender and short-term prognosis of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) is unclear, hence single-center retrospective analysis and meta-analysis were conducted to determine the relationship.

Methods

Initially treated patients with AAV were retrospectively enrolled. Data of clinical manifestation, laboratory indicators, Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS), therapeutic treatments, and the patients' situations within 1 year were recorded. First, we compared the basic characteristics between male and female patients. Second, the risk factors associated with a 1-year mortality rate of patients with AAV were evaluated. Finally, a meta-analysis was performed to explore the effect of gender o
