ANOVA was performed to compare means scores across different types of vasculitis types where >30 participants were recruited into the study (i.e. CNSV, IgAV were excluded from comparative analyses due to small sample size). Note a,b,c,d,e denotes row-wise pairs of groups different at 0.05 level Scheffe test. Identity is 0–22 point scale, all other dimensions are scaled 1–5. BD = Behçet’s disease; CNSV = central nervous system vasculitis; EGPA = eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss); GCA = giant cell arteritis; GPA = granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener’s); IgAV = IgA vasculitis (Henoch-Schönlein); MPA = microscopic polyangiitis; PAN = polyarteritis nodosa; TAK = Takayasu’s arteritis.
