The effects of age and frailty on the risks of end-stage renal disease, death, and severe infection in older adults with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis: a retrospective cohort study

Frailty, a measure of biological age, might predict poor outcomes in older adults better than chronological age. We aimed to compare the effect of age and frailty on end-stage renal disease, death, and severe infection within 2 years of diagnosis in older adults with incident antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis.
