Abstrakt: Objective: To summarise and update evidence to inform the 2022 update of the European Alliance of Associations of Rheumatology (EULAR) recommendations for the management of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV).
Methods: Three systematic literature reviews (SLR) were performed. PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched from 1 February 2015 to 25 February 2022. The evidence presented herein covers the treatment of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) as well as diagnostic testing and general management of all AAV syndromes.
Results: For the treatment of EGPA, diagnostic procedures and general management 3517, 4137 and 4215 articles were screened and 26, 110 and 63 articles were included in the final evidence syntheses, respectively. For EGPA patients with newly diagnosed disease without unfavourable prognostic factors, azathioprine (AZA) combined with glucocorticoids (GC) is not superior to GC monotherapy to induce remission (LoE 2b). In patients with active EGPA and unfavourable prognostic factors, cyclophosphamide or rituximab can be used for remission induction (LoE 2b). Treatment with Mepolizumab added to standard treatment results in higher rates of sustained remission in patients with relapsing or refractory EGPA without active organ-threatening or life-threatening manifestations (LoE 1b) and reduces GC use. Kidney biopsies have prognostic value in AAV patients with renal involvement (LoE 2a). In the context of suspected AAV, immunoassays for proteinase 3 and myeloperoxidase-ANCA have higher diagnostic accuracy compared with indirect immunofluorescent testing (LoE 1a).
Conclusion: This SLR provides current evidence to inform the 2022 update of the EULAR recommendations for the management of AAV.
