其它 | 摘要:Background/Purpose: Giant-cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common primary large-vessel vasculitis affecting patients over 50 yr. Despite frequent and severe adverse events (AEs), glucocorticoids (GCs) are the reference treatment.1 In 2003, Proven et al reported GC-related AEs) in 86% of their patients.2 Efficacy of immunosuppressants, specifically methotrexate, is modest. Although tocilizumab is emerging as an alternative agent, the long-term benefit of IL6 blockade is unknown. Moreover, application of the most recent recommendations on GC-induced osteoporosis or vaccinations might change the GC-associated risks and, thus, the risk/benefit balance needs to be updated. We evaluated the GC-induced frequencies of AEs in a French cohort of GCA patients. |
