Abstract

•More than a quarter of patients with PMR may have subclinical GCA at diagnosis.•Meta-analysis of a large patients’ data set could not identify a marker for subclinical GCA.•Classical inflammatory parameters such as ESR and CRP were not associated with subclinical GCA.•A paradigm shift in the assessment of PMR patients in favour of implementing imaging studies should be discussed.
