Giant cell arteritis: A population-based retrospective cohort study exploring incidence and clinical presentation in Canterbury, Aotearoa New Zealand

Suellen A. A. Lyne et al.

Summary: This study investigated the epidemiology and clinical features of giant cell arteritis (GCA) in Canterbury, New Zealand, focusing on extra-cranial large vessel disease. It identified two distinct subsets of the disease - cranial and large vessel disease, suggesting the need for alternative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for patients with large vessel disease.

Seasonal variation in biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis in Eastern Denmark from 1990-2018

Elisabeth Bay Konig et al.

Summary: This study investigated the seasonal variation in biopsy-proven GCA cases in eastern Denmark over a 29-year period. The peak occurrence of GCA was found in the 70-79 years age group, with a higher risk of positive biopsy during summer compared to autumn. Although no association was found between weather parameters and biopsy outcomes, future studies pooling all GCA cases worldwide are needed to determine the seasonality in the occurrence of GCA.
