    Hočevar, Alojzija ...
    Objectives To determine the incidence rate of histologically proven IgAV in the adult Slovenian population. Methods A retrospective chart review of adult patients diagnosed with IgAV was performed at ... the departments of rheumatology, nephrology, infectious diseases and dermatovenereology at an integrated secondary/tertiary university teaching hospital. In order to avoid missing miscoded cases, the Institute of Pathology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, provided a list of all patients with an IgAV-compatible histological pattern on biopsy. The annual incidence rate of histologically proven IgAV was calculated. Results Eighty-one new cases of IgAV were identified from June 2010 to June 2013. The estimated annual incidence rate of IgAV was 5.1 per 100 000 adults [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.4-7.4]; in men it was 6.1 per 100 000 (95% CI 3.9-10.6) and in women it was 3.7 per 100 000 (95% CI 1.8-6.8). Conclusions Although we only included histologically proven cases of IgAV, the annual incidence rate of 5.1 per 100 000 adults is 3-6-times higher than previously reported.
