RECRUITINGOBSERVATIONAL
Association of Ultrasonographic Temporal Artery Lesions and Relapse in Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis
About This Trial
Ultrasound evaluation of the temporal and axillary arteries is currently well recognized in the field of giant cell arteritis (GCA), a disease primarily affecting medium- and large-caliber vessels. Structural ultrasound abnormalities are now well described in this pathology, but their association with relapse and clinical concordance is unknown. There is currently a follow-up score (the OGUS score) for medium- and large-caliber arteries that could also predict the clinical course of the disease.
