Polymyalgia Rheumatica-Sex-Specific Epidemiology, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach, and Medical Care

CONCLUSION: PMR usually takes an uncomplicated course under treatment and can be managed in primary care, but these patients are often multimorbid and require frequent follow-up. Along with research on the etiology of the disease, further studies are needed to identify the risk factors for a chronic course and to evaluate the potential effects of non-pharmacological measures.PMID:35635433 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2022.0218
