Gruener AM, Poostchi A, Carey AR, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study involving 586 patients (mean [SD] age, 70.5 [11.1] years; age range, 32-103 years) who had temporal artery biopsy [TAB], researchers analyzed the incidence of biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis (BP-GCA) in a tertiary care center–based population with a sizeable proportion of black patients. Using the electronic medical record system, study participants were identified from July 1, 2007, through September 30, 2017, at the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute. From November 1, 2017, through July 31, 2018, data were analyzed. Data reported that crude annual incidence rates for BP-GCA were 2.9 per 100,000 for black and 4.2 per 100,000 for white patients within the study population. The incidence rate ratio was 1.9 in women vs men but was not significant in white vs black patients. According to findings, BP-GCA occurred more frequently in women in the cohort, but rates between races were comparable. The suggestion that GCA occurs more often in white vs black patients do not seem to support these results.
