Abstract

Polymyalgia rheumatica is an inflammatory disorder manifested principally by stiffness of the neck, shoulder girdle, and pelvic girdle; giant-cell (or temporal) arteritis affects the cranial branches of arteries arising from the aortic arch. The two conditions are believed to be linked and may occur together. Giant-cell arteritis is a serious disorder that can cause blindness as a result of ischemia of the optic nerve or retina. Both disorders respond to corticosteroid therapy. This comprehensive article reviews the clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, and treatment of these disorders.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
