OBJECTIVE: Aspects of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) prioritized by patients with AAV were described using the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health. METHODS: Items identified during 14 individual interviews were incorporated into ICF-based questionnaire administered to participants of 2 vasculitis patient symposia, 36 in UK and 63 in USA. RESULTS: Categories identified as at least "moderately relevant" by ≥ 5% of subjects included 44 body functions, 14 body structures, 35 activities and participation, 31 environmental factors, and 38 personal factors. CONCLUSION: Identified categories differ from those captured by the current OMERACT core set and those prioritized by vasculitis experts.
