Abstract

Abstract : Background: There is sparse population-level data on outcome in patients with Immunoglobulin-A vasculitis (IgAV) and none from Australia Objectives: We compared long-term mortality for paediatric and adult IgAV patients with age- and gender-matched controls. Methods: Linked health data for pediatric (<20 years=473) and adult (20+ years, n=267) IgAV patients were obtained from state-wide hospital and deaths registries in Western Australia for the period 1980-2015. All-cause mortality rates (MR) (deaths/1000 person-years) were compared with controls using mortality rate ratios (MRR) and with the general population of Western Australia by standardised mortality rate ratios (SMRR) with Poisson derived 95% confidence intervals (CI). We used Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and multivariate Cox regression derived hazard ratios (HR) for time dependent analyses. Results: In pediatric patients (mean age 7.2 years, 60 % male) MRR was 1.27 (CI: 0.34-4.08, p=0.68) and SMRR was 2.31 (CI: 0.72-5.7, p=0.47) (Table 1 ) with a 20-year survival rate (>99%) similar to controls. Despite higher rates of renal failure (1.5% vs 0.2%, p=0.002) deaths in pediatric IgAV patients were mainly from unrelated causes. In adult IgAV patients (mean age 55.8 years, 48% males) MMR was 2.06 (CI 1.70-2.50, p<0.01) and SMRR 6.16 (3.04 -14.3, p<0.01) (Table) during a mean of 19.5 years follow-up with significantly reduced survival at five (72.7 vs. 89.7 %) and twenty years (45.2% vs. 65.6 %) (p<0.05). Renal disease (HR: 1.47, CI 1.04 - 2.06), the presence of any comorbidity (HR:1.30, CI 1.23 - 1.37) and male gender (HR:1.23; CI 1.04 - 1.47) were independent predictors of death. While cardiovascular events (34.2%) and malignancy (19.4%) were the most frequent causes of death, only death from infections (5.8 vs 1.8%, p=0.02) and renal disease (3.6 vs 1.8%, p=0.03) were more frequent in adult IgAV patients than controls. Mortality data for childhood and adult-onset IgAV patients and controls. Figures indicate mean (±SD), numbers (%) or rate/1000 patient months (95% CI) Conclusion: Compared to controls and general population, mortality risk was not increased in paediatric IgAV patients for at least 20 years following diagnosis despite a higher rate of end stage renal failure. However, in adult IgAV patients, all-cause mortality risk was six times higher than in the general population leading to significantly reduced five-year survival, especially for male patients with comorbidity including renal disease.
