- EGPA cohort –
- Greater than or equal to (≥)6 months of clinical activity prior to the index date, defined as a participant having at least one clinical encounter at Mayo relating to EGPA care within the time window.
- EGPA participants who are less than 18 years of age at the time of mepolizumab administration will be excluded.
- HES participants who are less than 12 years of age at the time of mepolizumab administration will be excluded.
- EGPA cohort –
- Greater than or equal to (≥)6 months of clinical activity prior to the index date, defined as a participant having at least one clinical encounter at Mayo relating to EGPA care within the time window.
- ≥6 months of clinical activity after the index date, defined as a participant having at least one clinical encounter at Mayo relating to EGPA care within the time window
- For final inclusion criteria, participants are required to meet both the following conditions: (a) Eligible EGPA participants will be identified using either ICD diagnosis code and/or Unstructured clinical note (b) EGPA diagnosis confirmed based on at least two additional features of EGPA noted from the unstructured clinical text of physician notes: o biopsy showing histopathological evidence of eosinophilic vasculitis, or perivascular eosinophilic infiltration or eosinophil-rich granulomatous inflammation o neuropathy, mono or poly (motor deficit or nerve conduction abnormality) o pulmonary infiltrates, non-fixed o Sino-nasal abnormality o cardiomyopathy (established by echocardiography or Magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) o glomerulonephritis (haematuria, red cell casts, proteinuria) o alveolar haemorrhage (by bronchoalveolar lavage) o palpable purpura o ANCA positive (MPO or PR3) HES cohort –
