Objectives To evaluate sensitivity and scores of vascular ultrasound (US) before and after initiating glucocorticoid (GC) treatment in patients with new-onset giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods Treatment-naïve patients with GCA were prospectively included. 18F-FDG PET/CT, US and temporal artery (TA) biopsy were performed in all patients. US was repeated 3 and 10 days after GC commencement. Intima-media thickness and presence of halo signs were assessed. Sonographers were unblinded to clinical data. The OMERACT GCA Ultrasonography score (OGUS) and halo count (HC) were calculated. Results Forty-eight patients were included. Before GC exposure, US sensitivity was 94% (95% CI: 83–99), 73% (95% CI: 58–85) and 71% (95% CI: 56–83) when assessing all vessels, TAs, and large vessels (LVs), respectively. At day 3 and 10, overall US sensitivity was 92% (95% CI: 78–98, p= 0.16) and 83% (95% CI: 69–92, p= 0.10), respectively. At day 10, TA-US and LV-US sensitivity was 53% (95% CI: 38–68, p< 0.01), and 60% (95% CI: 44–74, p= 0.13), respectively. Median OGUS decreased from 1.06 (IQR 0.83–1.24)–0.95 (IQR 0.78–1.14, p< 0.01), and 0.90 (IQR 0.73–1.01, p< 0.001) after 3 and 10 days, respectively. Median HC decreased from 3 (IQR 2–5)–2 (IQR 1–4, p< 0.01) after 10 days. Conclusion The vasculitic US findings expressed by OGUS diminish after 3 days of GC treatment. TA-US sensitivity decreased after 10 days, whereas LV-US was less likely to change, highlighting the importance of LV-assessment. Consistent with the EULAR recommendations, these findings encourage prompt US assessment, preferably within 3 days, to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

巨细胞动脉炎患者治疗前、治疗后 3 天和 10 天超声敏感性和评分的系列评估



目的 评估新发巨细胞动脉炎 (GCA) 患者开始糖皮质激素 (GC) 治疗前后血管超声 (US) 的敏感性和评分。方法 前瞻性纳入初治 GCA 患者。所有患者均进行 18F-FDG PET/CT 、 US 和颞动脉 (TA) 活检。在 GC 开始后 3 天和 10 天重复 US。评估了内膜中层厚度和光晕体征的存在。超声医师对临床数据不知情。计算 OMERACT GCA 超声评分 (OGUS) 和光晕计数 (HC)。结果 共纳入 48 例患者。在 GC 暴露之前,在评估所有血管、TA 和大型血管 (LV) 时,US 敏感性分别为 94% (95% CI: 83-99) 、73% (95% CI: 58-85) 和 71% (95% CI: 56-83)。在第 3 天和第 10 天,美国总体敏感性分别为 92% (95% CI: 78-98, p= 0.16) 和 83% (95% CI: 69-92, p= 0.10)。第 10 天,TA-US 和 LV-US 敏感性分别为 53% (95% CI: 38-68, p< 0.01) 和 60% (95% CI: 44-74, p= 0.13)。中位 OGUS 在 3 天和 10 天后分别从 1.06 (IQR 0.83-1.24)-0.95 (IQR 0.78-1.14,p< 0.01) 和 0.90 (IQR 0.73-1.01,p< 0.001) 下降。10 天后,中位 HC 从 3 (IQR 2-5)-2 (IQR 1-4,p< 0.01) 下降。结论 OGUS 表达的血管炎 US 结果在 GC 治疗 3 天后消失。TA-US 敏感性在 10 天后降低,而 LV-US 不太可能发生变化,突出了 LV 评估的重要性。与 EULAR 建议一致,这些发现鼓励及时进行 US 评估,最好在 3 天内进行评估,以确保准确诊断。
