Fast-track pathway for giant cell arteritis: Improved visual outcomes and reduced healthcare costs
A dedicated fast-track pathway for suspected GCA enables prompt, largely ambulatory care, halves unnecessary full hospitalizations, speeds treatment initiation, improves visual prognosis, and lowers overall expenditure. These findings support wider adoption of imaging-driven FTPs to mitigate the growing clinical and economic burden of GCA.
