Predictors of positive (18) F-FDG PET/CT-scan for large vessel vasculitis in patients with persistent polymyalgia rheumatica

Abstract: Abstract: Objective: Polymyalgiarheumatica(PMR)isoftenthepresenting manifestationofgiantcellarteritis(GCA). Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucosepositronemissiontomography/computedtomography(PET/CT)scanoften disclosesthepresenceoflargevesselvasculitis(LVV)inPMRpatients.Weaimedtoidentifypredictivefactorsof a positivePET/CTscanforLVVinpatientsclassifiedashavingisolatedPMRaccordingtowell-establishedcriteria. Methods: A setofconsecutivepatientswithPMRfromasinglehospitalwereassessed.Allofthemunderwent PET/CT scanbetweenJanuary2010andFebruary2018based onclinicalconsiderations.PatientswithPMR associatedtootherdiseases,includingthosewithcranialfeaturesofGCA,wereexcluded.Theremaining patients werecategorizedinclassicPMR(iffulfilledthe2012EULAR/ACRclassification criteriaatdisease diagnosis; n ¼ 84) oratypicalPMR(whodidnotfulfill thesecriteria; n ¼ 16).Onlyinformationonpatients withclassicPMRwasassessed.
