Predictors of giant cell arteritis in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica in southern Sweden—a retrospective study
In this large cohort of patients with verified PMR, GCA was diagnosed in a limited subset (9%) and was more common in females. A lower risk for GCA was seen in patients with pain/stiffness in the hip at onset of PMR, suggesting that prominent musculoskeletal symptoms and cranial arteritis represent different parts of the GCA-PMR spectrum.
