Based on this large cohort, ANCA-negative versus ANCA-positive patients more frequently had limited disease but similar RFS and OS. MPO-ANCA-positive patients had similar RFS but lower OS due to their older age. PR3-ANCA-positive GPA patients' RFS was lower than those of the two other subsets combined but that difference did not persist when comparing only PR3 versus MPO-ANCA-positive patients.
