Journal Article
Mallen, Hider, & Muller. (2014). Fatigue as a precursor to polymyalgia rheumatica: an explorative retrospective cohort study. Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 219 - 223. https://doi.org/10.3109/03009742.2014.959047

OBJECTIVES: Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is the commonest inflammatory disorder of older adults. Although not part of the recently published classification criteria, patients with PMR frequently complain of fatigue. We compared consultation for fatig...

Risk of vascular events in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica. (2014)
Journal Article
Hancock, A. T., Mallen, C. D., Muller, S., Belcher, J., Roddy, E., Helliwell, T., & Hider, S. L. (2014). Risk of vascular events in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica. Canadian Medical Association Journal, 186(13), E495 - E501. https://doi.org/10.1503/cmaj.140266

BACKGROUND: Polymyalgia rheumatica is one of the most common inflammatory rheumatologic conditions in older adults. Other inflammatory rheumatologic disorders are associated with an excess risk of vascular disease. We investigated whether polymyalgia...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence of new cancer diagnoses in a community sample of patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). METHODS: All incident cases of PMR in the UK General Practice Research Database (GPRD) (1987-99), without pre-existin...

HOW DO GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IDENTIFY GIANT CELL ARTERITIS (GCA)? (2014)
Journal Article

Background Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is the commonest large vessel vasculitis yet a full time UK general practitioner (GP) can expect to see just 1 case every 1-2 years [Barraclough]. GCA may be difficult to identify, particularly in atypical cases.... Read More about HOW DO GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IDENTIFY GIANT CELL ARTERITIS (GCA)?.

Cardiovascular screening in rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional primary care database study (2013)
Journal Article

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are known to be at increased risk of vascular disease. It is not known whether screening for vascular risk factors occurs in primary care. The aim of this study was to determine whether guidance adv... Read More about Cardiovascular screening in rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional primary care database study.
