We manually chart reviewed every case identified through the ICD-10 search to confirm (or reject) a clinical AAV diagnosis.

Of these 97 incident cases, 57 (60%) were classified as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), 29 (31%) as microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and 9 (9%) as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) per ACR\/EULAR 2022 criteria, while 2 remained unclassified. There was an 11% discordance in AAV case classification between the 2022 criteria and the EMA algorithm. The mean annual incidence of AAV in adults was 12.2 per million (7.3 for GPA, 3.7 for MPA and 1.2 for EGPA). Across the study period, incidence rates increased numerically, and prevalence peaked at 143.7 AAV cases\/million adults in 2016.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This population-based study adds new evidence that AAV increases in Europe and indicates that using the ACR\/EULAR 2022 criteria shifts cases from GPA to MPA relative to the EMA algorithm, affecting epidemiology estimates.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/rmdopen-2025-005526","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,5]],"date-time":"2025-07-05T09:35:15Z","timestamp":1751708115000},"page":"e005526","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Incidence and prevalence of ANCA-associated vasculitis in Oslo, Norway, applying different criteria-based case definitions: a population-based cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3692-0458","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karin R","family":"Kilian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway"},{"name":"University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cathrine","family":"Brunborg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Health Economics, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sigrun Skaar","family":"Holme","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Teleradiology, Unilabs R\u00f8ntgen Majorstuen, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Garen","family":"Torhild","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ragnar","family":"Gunnarsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00d8yvind","family":"Molberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway"},{"name":"University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025090312474473000_11.3.e005526.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"417","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-129-5-199809010-00013","article-title":"The use and misuse of classification and diagnostic criteria for complex diseases","volume":"129","author":"Hunder","year":"1998","journal-title":"Ann Intern Med"},{"key":"2025090312474473000_11.3.e005526.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780330807"},{"key":"2025090312474473000_11.3.e005526.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1088","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780330805","article-title":"The American college of rheumatology 1990 criteria for the classification of polyarteritis nodosa","volume":"33","author":"Lightfoot","year":"1990","journal-title":"Arthritis & Rheumatism"},{"key":"2025090312474473000_11.3.e005526.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780330806"},{"key":"2025090312474473000_11.3.e005526.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.2006.054593"},{"key":"2025090312474473000_11.3.e005526.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780370206"},{"key":"2025090312474473000_11.3.e005526.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Jennette JC , Falk RJ , Bacon PA , et al . 2012 revised International Chapel Hill Consensus Conference Nomenclature of Vasculitides.
