Incident cases, per 6 months, of anti–glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease in North West London 2006–2020. Between December 2019 and April (Apr) 2020, a total of 8 new cases of anti-GBM disease were diagnosed, giving an observed:expected case ratio of 5.64, based on disease incidence in the same population since November 2006. Applying a discrete Poisson temporal scan statistic over the period November 2006 to April 2020 confirmed a single significant disease cluster between December 2019 and April 2020 (P = 0.038). Statistical analysis was performed using SaTScan v9.6 (Martin Kulldorff and Information Management Services, Inc).
