Article Synopsis
- The study examines the initial dosage of prednisone, a corticosteroid used for treating polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), prescribed by rheumatologists in Côte d'Or, France, from March 2006 to December 2008.
- The research analyzed data from 99 patients and found a mean dosage of 27.4 mg/day, with noticeable variabilities between different prescribers and individual patients.
- Although the initial dose was significantly higher for patients with elevated sedimentation rates, there was no correlation between the prescribed dose and clinical severity or the occurrence of relapses.
