2018 EULAR recommendations for a core data set to support observational research and clinical care in giant cell arteritis

Abstract: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) represents the most common form of primary systemic vasculitis and is frequently associated with comorbidities related to the disease itself or induced by the treatment. Systematically collected data on disease course, treatment and outcomes of GCA remain scarce. The aim of this EULAR Task Force was to identify a core set of items which can easily be collected by experienced clinicians, in order to facilitate collaborative research into the course and outcomes of GCA. A multidiscipli… Show more

“…Glucocorticoids (GCs) are among the most frequently used agent in rheumatologic clinical practice. The GCs have proved to be effective in the management of a broad spectrum of diseases such as RA, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), vasculitis both representing the main treatment or a bridging/supporting therapy to the immunosuppressant [17][18][19][20].…”

“…High-dose glucocorticoid therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment and is typically tapered over ∼2 years [ 2 , 3 ]. EULAR recommends that the core dataset for observational studies and routine clinical care should include the laboratory markers of haemoglobin, ESR and CRP [ 4 ]. It also recommends recording the presence or absence of diabetes mellitus, but not glycated haemoglobin (HbA 1c ).…”
