Timeline of incident ANCA-associates vasculitis cases in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Incident cases are posed on a timeline at the time of diagnosis of either initial manifestation (oval) or disease relapse (box). Duplicates are marked as such by a coloured frame. Numbers in boxes/ovals match with respective identity (ID) in online supplemental table S1. ANCA, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody; AT, Austria; IM, initial manifestation; MPO, myeloperoxidase; PR3, proteinase 3; Rel, relapse.
