You might think that steroid exposure in PMR patients wouldn't lead to new comorbidities.
These data beg to differ. New steroid-related comorbidities ++ across domains vs matched controls in real-world US claims data.
We need steroid-sparing in PMR.

Does TCZ actually fix GCA?
@nihrheumatology cohort w serial PET/CT q6m:
FDG uptake (PETVAS) reduces longitudinally over 2y but does not normalise, w rebound on TCZ cessation
Ongoing reductions in year 2? GCA doesn't sleep.
