VPPRN Patient-Powered Research

Other/Suspected Diagnosis

Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis, patients with other/suspected diagnosis reported similar scores for fatigue, symptoms of vasculitis, and pain at the July 2023 check-in.  The differences we see are in the reporting of flares and members’ state of vasculitis.

If you have concerns about your health scores, please discuss with your rheumatologist or primary care provider.
