Clinical Manifestations and Prognosis of Giant Cell Arteritis: A Retrospective Cohort Study
The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical manifestations and survival of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA).
. A retrospective study included 166 patients with newly diagnosed GCA. Clinical, laboratory, and instrumental data and three sets of classification criteria were used to confirm the diagnosis: the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1990, the revised ACR criteria of 2016 and/or the new ACR and European Alliance of Rheumatologic Associations (EULAR) 2022 criteria. Some of the patients underwent instrumental investigations: temporal artery ultrasound Doppler (n = 61), contrast-enhanced computed tomography (n = 5), CT angiography (n = 6), magnetic resonance imaging (n = 4), MR angiography (n = 3), and 18F-FDG PET/CT (n = 47). Overall and recurrence-free survival rates were analyzed using survival tables and Kaplan–Meier method.
. The most frequent first manifestations of GCA were headache (81.8%), weakness (64%), fever (63.8%), and symptoms of rheumatic polymyalgia (56.6%). Changes in temporal arteries in color duplex scanning were detected in 44 out of 61 patients. GCs therapy was performed in all patients who agreed to be treated (n = 158), methotrexate was used in 49 out of 158 patients, leflunomide in 9 patients. In 45 (28.5%) out of 158 patients, a stable remission was achieved as a result of GC monotherapy; in 120 (75.9%) patients, long-term maintenance therapy with GCs was required to prevent exacerbations, including 71 (44.9%) patients in combination with methotrexate or other immunosuppressive drugs. The follow-up period of patients with a history of relapses was 21.0 (8.0–54.0) months. Relapses developed in 73 (46.2%) patients. The overall one-year survival rate was 97.1% [95% CI 94.3; 99.9], and the five-year survival rate of patients was 94.6% [95% CI 90.2; 99.0]. The one-year relapse-free survival rate was 86.4% [95% CI 80.5; 92.3], and the five-year relapse-free survival rate was 52.4% [95% CI 42.0; 62.8]. Twelve (7.2%) of 166 patients died. The cause of death was myocardial infarction in two patients, stroke in two patients, and breast cancer in one patient; in the remaining seven cases, the cause of death was not determined.
Given the high frequency of disease exacerbation, patients with GCA require long-term follow-up, especially during the first year after diagnosis.
