SGS-GPA Cohort & Characteristics
There were twenty-seven patients managed for SGS-GPA in the joint ENT
vasculitis clinic between the 1st of January 2000 to
2nd November 2020. Six patients were excluded from our
analysis: two were surgically managed outside the region with no
management records available and four patients were referred with GPA
late into their disease progression, undergoing multiple surgical
dilatations with no induction IS.
The average age at diagnosis was 51.1 years (range 21-67), with a female
majority (15F:6M).
SGS was the initial presentation of GPA in four patients. Other affected
sites by GPA in the cohort are summarised in table 1.
