Trends in the Incidence and Use of Diagnostic Modalities for Giant Cell Arteritis over Seven Decades: A Population-based Study
Background/Purpose: Diagnostic methods for giant cell arteritis (GCA) have evolved over recent decades, and large vessel imaging plays an increasing role in disease detection. The…Abstract Number: 1438 • ACR Convergence 2020
Rituximab Immunogenicity in ANCA-associated Vasculitis (RITUXIMAV)
Background/Purpose: Rituximab (RTX), an anti-CD20 chimeric monoclonal antibody, has been shown to be an effective maintenance therapy for granulomatosis with polyangitiis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis…Abstract Number: 1931 • ACR Convergence 2020
Effect of Cumulative Glucocorticoid Dose and Inflammation on Weight Change During Treatment of Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a form of large vessel vasculitis that requires treatment with high-dose, long-term glucocorticoids (GC). Weight gain, among other side-effects…Abstract Number: 0409 • ACR Convergence 2020
Clinical Characteristics, Brain MRI Findings, and Diagnostic Approach of the Central Nervous System Vasculitis by Affected Vessel Size
Background/Purpose: Diagnosis of the central nervous system vasculitis (CNS-V) is made on the basis of image findings or brain biopsy. Recently, two different subtypes of…Abstract Number: 0518 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Impact of Large Vessel Vasculitis of the Axillary Artery on Cumulative Glucocorticoid Dose and Relapse Rate in Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: Prognostic markers for clinical outcomes in giant cell arteritis (GCA) are urgently needed. While large vessel GCA (LV-GCA) has been associated with higher glucocorticoid…Abstract Number: 1439 • ACR Convergence 2020
Proteinase 3-Reactive B Cell Pool Restructuring After Rituximab and Risk of Relapse in Severe PR3-ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: In ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) B cells play a central pathogenic role and are instrumental for the production of ANCA, which are thought to mediate…Abstract Number: 1933 • ACR Convergence 2020
Small Vessel Vasculitis Surrounding a Preserved Temporal Artery: Search for Tissue Biomarkers with Potential Diagnostic Value
Background/Purpose: Systemic vasculitides are complex and heterogeneous diseases with overlapping features that frequently pose a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. The temporal artery biopsy (TAB) is…Abstract Number: 0410 • ACR Convergence 2020
Exploring Gene Expression Profile of Primary Central Nervous System Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Primary CNS vasculitis (PCNSV) is an uncommon and poorly understood disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It includes heterogeneous histopathological patterns, clinical…Abstract Number: 0937 • ACR Convergence 2020
Late Cardiovascular Outcomes in Children with Kawasaki Disease: A Population-based Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common childhood vasculitis associated with coronary artery aneurysms (CAA). Based on our recent work, the incidence of KD has…Abstract Number: 1539 • ACR Convergence 2020
Diagnostic Value of Ultrasound Halo Count and Halo Score in Giant Cell Arteritis: A Retrospective Study from Routine Care
Background/Purpose: Ultrasound (US) of temporal (TA) and axillary arteries is recommended as the first imaging modality in patients with suspected predominantly cranial giant cell arteritis…Abstract Number: 1934 • ACR Convergence 2020
What Is the Significance of Periarterial Temporal Small Vessel Inflammation (SVI) on Temporal Artery Biopsy (TAB) in the Diagnosis of Vasculitis? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Background/Purpose: Isolated inflammation of small vessels including capillaries, venules and arterioles surrounding a normal temporal artery (SVI) in patients suspected of having giant cell arteritis…Abstract Number: 0411 • ACR Convergence 2020
Serial Vessel Wall Enhancement Change on High-Resolution MRI Vessel Wall Imaging in Primary Central Nervous System Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: High-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) is emerging as a tool of notable utility in the diagnosis of central nervous system vasculitis (CNS-V). However, little…Abstract Number: 1132 • ACR Convergence 2020
Reliability of Virtual Sources of Education for Patients with Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Vasculitides are defined as inflammation of the vessel wall of different organ systems with reactive damage of mural structures. Patient education in understanding the…
