Outcome assessment in vasculitis primarily focuses on physician evaluations of disease activity and damage. Little is known about the patients' perspectives regarding the burden of disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients ranked (scale 0\u20135) a list of vasculitis\u2010related items to estimate a combination of pain, interference with daily function, discomfort and\/or annoyance, anxiety\/psychological impact, and medical importance.

Wegener's granulomatosis was the predominant disease, comprising 63% of the cohort. Diagnoses were confirmed by physicians in 98% of cases. The most common item from the free\u2010text sections was fatigue (75%), followed by pain (31%), musculoskeletal symptoms (24%), difficulty breathing (19%), financial aspects (13%), nasal discharge\/crusting (14%), and weight gain (10%). Rankings of individual items varied substantially: fatigue (3.5), loss of energy (3.4), weight gain (3.1), joint pain (3.0), and sinusitis (3.0) were the highest\u2010ranked symptoms among those manifestations experienced by at least 50% of patients. Several severe manifestations (e.g., dialysis, seizures, oxygen dependency) were ranked lower (&lt;3.0).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fatigue and reduced energy level are considered the most important disease burdens by patients with vasculitis; manifestations associated with organ damage were rated lower. The patients' perspectives of the impact of vasculitis differ from the physicians' ratings. Future outcome assessment in vasculitis should include the patients' perspectives.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.20276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,15]],"date-time":"2010-06-15T15:12:17Z","timestamp":1276614737000},"page":"1639-1645","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":94,"title":["Patient\u2010reported outcome assessment in vasculitis may provide important data and a unique perspective"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Karen","family":"Herlyn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernhard","family":"Hellmich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philip","family":"Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter A.","family":"Merkel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780370206"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","first-page":"671","article-title":"Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) in systemic necrotizing vasculitis","volume":"87","author":"Luqmani RA","year":"1994","journal-title":"QJM"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.2008.101279"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","first-page":"31","article-title":"Development and validation of a disease extent index for Wegener's granulomatosis","volume":"55","author":"De Groot K","year":"2001","journal-title":"Clin Nephrol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780400222"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","first-page":"283","article-title":"Development of comprehensive disease assessment in systemic vasculitis","volume":"66","author":"Flossmann O","year":"2007","journal-title":"Ann Rheum Dis"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","first-page":"2477","article-title":"Current status of outcome measures in vasculitis: focus on Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyangiitis","volume":"32","author":"Merkel PA","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Rheumatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3899\/jrheum.090373"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1529-0131(199812)41:12<2257::AID-ART22>3.0.CO;2-K"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","first-page":"S538","article-title":"Health\u2010related quality of life in primary systemic vasculitides","volume":"41","author":"Herlyn K","year":"1998","journal-title":"Arthritis Rheum"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.10458"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","first-page":"309","article-title":"Wegener's granulomatosis: survey of 701 patients in North America.
