Long delay from symptom onset to first consultation contributes to permanent vision loss in patients with giant cell arteritis: a cohort study.
RMD open(2023)
Abstract
The prevalence of GCA-associated PVL remains high. Associated factors were advanced age, jaw claudication and ultrasound findings consistent with vasculitis in all six temporal artery segments. Despite preceding non-ocular GCA symptoms weeks before the onset of PVL, most patients were not seen by a rheumatologist before PVL occurred.
