VPPRN Patient-Powered Research
Other/Suspected Diagnosis
Every 6 months, we ask our VPPRN community to check-in and tell us how they are doing. The graphs below reflect the scores/ratings of patients with other/suspected diagnosis compared to the Network as a whole. Here is what we learned about flares, fatigue, pain, symptoms of vasculitis, and members’ current state of vasculitis at the January 2025 check-in:
- Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis, patients with other/suspected diagnosis reported the following:
- similar percentage of flares reported (this is a change from the July 2024 check-in where the rates were higher for patients with other/suspected diagnosis)
- similar scores for fatigue
- similar scores for their symptoms of vasculitis over the past 28 days
- similar scores for pain
- a smaller percentage of patients with other/suspected diagnosis reported their vasculitis in remission.
- Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis, patients with other/suspected diagnosis reported the following:
