Comorbidities in patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis versus severe uncontrolled asthma: a retrospective analysis of US health insurance claims data. Poster presented at the 2024 American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting; February 23, 2024. Washington, DC. [abstract] J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2024 Feb; 153(2):AB53.
RATIONALE: Unlike severe uncontrolled asthma (SUA), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) affects several organs. Real-world data are sparse in patients with EGPA. This retrospective analysis of US administrative health insurance claims data (MarketScan® or Medicare) quantified the impact of EGPA on comorbidity burden.
