Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to describe medical practices in patients with GCA in terms of patient journey, diagnostic methods and specific GCA treatments since diagnosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a cross-sectional, non-interventional, national (France), multicentre study, conducted on a population of 300 patients with GCA, to describe GCA management and patient characteristics.

The study will be conducted in accordance with the professional code of ethics and the good epidemiological practice guidelines developed by the Association of French-Speaking Epidemiologists.

The information will be collected during a single visit to the internist or rheumatologist as part of the usual management of the patient with GCA. The physician will not perform any additional examinations specific to the study. The physician will inform the patient about the study before inclusion and seek her/his non-opposition. A patient information form will be given to each patient by the physician. Patients who are eligible to participate in the study and who verbally accept automatic processing of their personal data, will be included in the study.

Data will be collected from the medical file and from patient questionnaires on health status (SF-36 \[36-Item Short Form Survey Instrument\], EQ5D \[EuroQol-5 Dimensions\]) and fatigue (FACIT-fatigue). In addition, GCA activity will be evaluated using a global arteritis activity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to be completed by the patient and the physician.
