Abstract

Systemic rheumatoid vasculitis (SRV) is an uncommon but potentially serious complication of RA. The incidence of SRV is unknown. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of SRV in the UK. Over a 6-yr period vigorous attempts were made to identify all patients with newly diagnosed SRV living within the Norwich Health Authority (NHA). The overall annual incidence of SRV is 12.5/million (95% CI: 8.5-17.7). The annual incidence rate for men was 15.8/million (95% CI: 9.5-24.7) and 9.4/million (95% CI: 4.8-16.4) for women. The incidence of SRV in this study is higher than previous estimates.

摘要

系统性类风湿性血管炎（SRV）是类风湿关节炎（RA）一种不常见但可能严重的并发症。SRV的发病率尚不清楚。本研究的目的是估算英国SRV的发病率。在6年期间，我们积极努力识别居住在诺里奇卫生局（NHA）内所有新诊断为SRV的患者。SRV的总体年发病率为12.5/百万（95%置信区间：8.5 - 17.7）。男性的年发病率为15.8/百万（95%置信区间：9.5 - 24.7），女性为9.4/百万（95%置信区间：4.8 - 16.4）。本研究中SRV的发病率高于先前的估计。
