About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Diagnostic Performance of 18-FDG PET-CT Scores for the Diagnosis of Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Comparison With Others Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases.

Study of the diagnostic performance of 18-FDG PET scores in Polymyalgia rheumatica and comparaison with others inflammatories diseases.

Read the detailed description

Polymyalgia Rheumatica is difficult to diagnostic because symptoms are non specific and many diseases can be differential diagnosis (cancer, infections, others rheumatisms...).

PET-CT is more often used to help for diagnostic of inflammatory disease, and particularly inflammatory rheumatism.

Some scores have been described to harmonize the diagnosis of Polymyalgia rheumatica.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 18-FDG PET scores in Polymyalgia rheumatica and compared with others inflammatories diseases such as ankylosing spondylarthritis.

This is a multicentric retrospective study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diagnostic performance of 18-FDG PET scores for diagnostic of Polymyalgia rheumatica.

    Evaluation of the metabolism of mains joints compared to liver. Calculation of different scores described in literature.

    Measured: up to 9 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Analysis of SUV and visual fixation of mains joints.

    Measure of SUV of mains joints and evaluation of the fixation compared to liver.

    Measured: up to 9 months

  2. Diagnostic performance of 18-FDG PET scores for diagnostic of others inflammatory rheumatism.

    Evaluation of the precedent scores for diagnosis of others rheumatisms. Creation of others scores if some joints seem to be interesting.

    Measured: up to 9 months

  3. Comparaison of scores with clinical, biological and radiological data.

    Search for correlation between scores and symptoms, blood test or CT/MRI exams.

    Measured: up to 9 months
