TI  - Development of Canadian Recommendations for the Management of ANCA-Associated 
      Vasculitides: Results of the National Needs Assessment Questionnaire.

LID - 10.2174/18743129014090100016 [doi]
AB  - OBJECTIVES: To study variations in Canadian clinical practice patterns for the 
      management of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and identify points to consider 
      for the development of national recommendations. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY: A 
      30-item needs assessment questionnaire was sent to all members of the Canadian 
      Vasculitis network (CanVasc), Canadian Rheumatology Association (CRA), Canadian 
      Thoracic Society (CTS) and Canadian Society of Nephrology (CSN). Respondent 
      characteristics, practice patterns, concerns and expectations were analyzed. 
      RESULTS: Among 132 physicians who followed at least 1 vasculitis patient and 
      responded to the survey, 39% stated that they felt confident in their management 
      of AAV. Several variations in practice were observed regarding diagnostic 
      procedure, induction and maintenance treatments and use of biologics; some were 
      due to logistic constraints (difficulties in access to some specific tests, drugs 
      or care; lack of health care coverage for the costs). The top 5 topics for which 
      recommendations are expected involve treatment for remission induction, 
      maintenance, refractory disease, and relapse as well as biologics. CONCLUSION: 
      Practice variations identified in this needs assessment survey will serve to 
      formulate key questions for the development of CanVasc recommendations.
