Subphenotypes of ANCA-associated vasculitis identified by latent class analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on multiple clinical and serological variables, LCA methodology identified 4-class model of AAV. This newly described fourth class of AAV may be of clinical relevance and may require prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment due to the multiorgan involvement, high risk of relapse and marked mortality among these relatively young GPA subjects.
