Studies regarding mortality among patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) have yielded conflicting results. Thus in this large population-based study we aimed to examine whether GCA is associated with increased mortality, and if so, the effect of age at diagnosis and sex on the association. We used the medical database of Clalit Health Services fo...

To determine the risk of cancer in a large Norwegian cohort of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). This is a hospital-based, retrospective, observational cohort study including patients diagnosed with GCA in the Bergen Health Area during 1972-2012. Patients were identified through computerized hospital records using the International Classifi...

Stroke, especially in the vertebrobasilar territory, is more likely to occur in patients with GCA who experience recent ophthalmic ischemic symptoms and who exhibit low inflammatory variables.
Background: Noninvasive diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) remains challenging, particularly with regard to evaluation of extracranial arterial disease. Objectives: The objective of the study was to retrospectively review extracranial involvement in patients with GCA and/or polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), evaluated with magnetic resonance imagin...
