Usual Care
Corticosteroid use and dosing determined by the patient's primary team for standard of care. Usual Care: Corticosteroid use and dosing determined by the patients treatment team for standard of care.
Biomarker-adjusted Steroid Dosing
Individualized, biomarker concordant steroid use: dosing, titration and duration according to CRP level. This is a predetermined dosing table that adjusts dose of steroid by CRP level. Specifically: if CRP \< 50 mmol/L: discontinue steroid; if CRP is between 51-100 mmol/L: 0.5 mg methylprednisolone (or dose equivalent of oral prednisone); if CRP is between 101-150 mmol/L: 0.75 mg/kg methylprednisolone (or dose equivalent of oral prednisone); if CRP level is between 151-200 mmol/L: 1 mg/kg methylprednisolone (or dose equivalent of oral prednisone); if CRP level \> 200 mmol/L: 1.5 mg/kg methylprednisolone (or dose equivalent of oral prednisone). Methylprednisolone: Methylprednisolone will be administered based on CRP-guided protocol outlined under 'Biomarker-adjusted steroid dosing'.
