| Description |
Immediate administration of glucocorticoids is essential in the treatment of suspected giant cell arteritis (GCA). The choice of medication dose and route depends on patient-specific factors, but may also reflect physicianspecific ones, including subspecialty discipline. We have compared the management of suspected GCA cases in subspecialty versus primary care settings to: (1) identify possibly discrepancies in management and (2) promote a broader understanding of the evidence-based management of GCA. |
