Giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) are systemic inflammatory diseases that primarily affect older women
.
The purpose of this study was to compare the risk of thromboembolic events and retinal vascular occlusion in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) with GCA and / or PMR
.
In this retrospective study, a total of 1535 patients with GCA, 10265 patients with PMR, and 1203 patients with a combination of the two diseases, and 39009 age- and sex-matched patients with OA were included
.
The researchers calculated and assessed the occurrence of pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), arterial thromboembolism (ATE), central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) over time rate ratio (IRR)
Patients with GCA and a combination of both diseases had higher IRRs for all thromboembolic events compared with patients with OA
.
Patients with comorbidities (HR 2.
CONCLUSIONS: GCA, PMR, and patients with a combination of the two diseases have the same risk of thromboembolic events
.
The researchers' findings may help predict the risk of thromboembolic events based on disease phenotype
Patients with GCA, PMR, and comorbidities had the same risk of thromboembolic events
