Arthritis Care & Research Mar 12, 2021
Andersen JB, Myklebust G, Haugeberg G, et al. - Between 2000 and 2013, researchers conducted to assess potential changes in the incidence of giant cell arteritis (GCA) in Southern Norway, with comparisons of previous reports from the same population cohort from 1987–1994 and 1992–1996, and to explore the mortality rates of GCA over a period of 14 years. They distinguished all patients diagnosed with GCA from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2013, through the electronic health records and biopsy findings databases at our clinic. The study enrolled a sum of 206 individuals, and 147 (72%) were females. The data indicate that GCA incidence is not increasing. They did not observe excess mortality; nevertheless, males like to have a worse survival rate compared to females.
