Article Synopsis
  • Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a complex disease with various symptoms and severity levels, and the study aimed to evaluate its different clinical subsets to improve treatment strategies and reduce complications.
  • The study categorized GCA into three phenotypes: cranial, extracranial, and occult, analyzing their association with severe complications and survival rates over time.
  • Results indicated that cranial GCA had more severe ischemic complications and visual disturbances, while the occult subset showed potential for higher mortality, highlighting the need for targeted treatment approaches based on these clinical patterns.
