Polymyalgia Rheumatica: A 10-Year Epidemiologic and Clinical Study
Abstract
Ninety-six patients with polymyalgia rheumatica were identified in Olmsted County, Minnesota, during the 10-year period 1970 to 1979. Giant cell arteritis was found in 15 of the 96 patients. The average annual incidence of polymyalgia rheumatica in the population increased from 19.8 per 100 000 in persons 50 to 59 years of age, to a maximum of 112.2 per 100 000 in persons 70 to 79 years of age. Eighty-three of the 96 patients (86%) had recovered by the end of the study. Median duration of the disease was 11 months (range, 2 to 54 months). Polymyalgia rheumatica had no effect on survival. Both corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were used in treatment. Response was more rapid in patients given corticosteroids, but nonsteroidal drugs were used successfully, especially in milder cases. Relapses and adverse reactions to treatment were more frequent in patients given corticosteroids. The findings show that polymyalgia rheumatica is a relatively common disease in middle-aged and older persons and generally runs a self-limited course.

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.
