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.
