Evidence of major relapse (based on the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score) and healthcare costs were collected during 12-month and 24-month followup periods. Adults with \u2265 2 diagnoses of unspecified arteritis (ICD-9-CM 447.6) were found as potential patients with MPA and additional criteria based on clinical input were applied to refine the sample.
