Development and validation of case‐finding algorithms for the identification of patients with anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐associated vasculitis in large healthcare administrative databases

Abstract

Case-finding algorithms accurately identify patients with GPA, EGPA, and MPA in administrative databases. These algorithms can be used to assemble population-based cohorts and facilitate future research in epidemiology, drug safety, and comparative effectiveness. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
