Description of intervention(s) / exposure
WG classification - Patients with Wegener's granulomatosis. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Classification criteria.

MPA classification - Patients with microscopic polyangiitis. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Classification criteria.

CSS classification - Patients with Churg Strauss syndrome. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Classification criteria.

PAN classification - Patients with polyarteritis nodosa. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Classification criteria.

Control Classification - For each of the diseases being evaluated (WG, MPA, CSS, PAN, GCA, TAK), patients with the other 5 diseases will be the control group. Within these groups, 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Classification criteria.

WG diagnostic - Patients with a new presentation of Wegener's granulomatosis. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Diagnostic criteria.

MPA diagnostic - Patients with a new presentation of microscopic polyangiitis. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Diagnostic criteria.

CSS diagnostic - Patients with a new presentation of Churg Strauss syndrome. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Diagnostic criteria.

PAN diagnostic - Patients with a new presentation of polyarteritis nodosa. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Diagnostic criteria.

Control diagnostic - Patients without vasculitis, but presenting with similar features to the 6 different types of vasculitis being studied. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Diagnostic criteria.

GCA classification - Patients with giant cell arteritis. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Classification criteria.

TAK classification - Patients with Takayasu arteritis. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Classification criteria.

GCA diagnostic - Patients with a new diagnosis of giant cell arteritis. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Diagnostic criteria.

TAK diagnostic - Patients with a new diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis. 1st half of these patients will be assigned to the development cohort and the second half to the validation cohort. Diagnostic criteria.
