I read this one time today and maybe I missed a lot but I have concerns....
If I am reading this right
GCs were optional ( you 'could" offer to IM injections and you could give GC for 'flair" [ uncertain what this means when all patients had active PMR at enrolment and all pts had active PMR ? and 1/2 were given placebo
I would not enroll if I had active PMR and I lack equipoise ( unless I missed something) to offer my patients such
Lastly - I think the PMR GC response is important diagnostically both when it works and especially when it doesn't
What can be said for Bari response??
Please rebut these comments perhaps my morning read missed the boat
