^aAO: patients with auricular involvement at disease onset (Auricular-Onset), RO: patients with respiratory involvement at disease onset (Respiratory-Onset), MO: patients with miscellaneous organ involvement at disease onset (Miscellaneous-Onset). 4 patients with both respiratory and auricular involvement at disease onset were excluded from this study due to their small numbers, to simplify the analysis. ^bAge, age at onset, and disease duration were expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean
