Prediction tool combining clinical probability, ultrasound confirms GCA from mimics
A new metric reliably confirms giant cell arteritis in suspected cases by combining a validated clinical scoring tool with ultrasonography, according to data in The Lancet Rheumatology.The prediction tool, called the HAS-GCA score, provides an accurate post-test probability for low-, intermediate- and high-risk patients and could enable “correct and rapid confirmation” of GCA in
