In scleroderma, outcome measures such as skin score provide only limited information about the functional impact of the disease. The requirement for validated and convenient instruments that reliably reflect disease morbidity is now recognized. This study compares the Disability Index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ-DI) with two more recently developed scleroderma-specific tools: scleroderma-visual analogue scales (scleroderma-VAS) and the UK scleroderma Functional Score (UKFS). In addition, the use of clinical and laboratory measures as predictors of disease severity have been examined.

7369. Homocysteine levels in polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis: influence of corticosteroid therapy.

It has been suggested that patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) may share a common pathway with atherosclerosis. Furthermore, patients with GCA and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), in addition to advanced age, are treated for prolonged periods of time with corticosteroids, a factor that can also accelerate atherosclerosis. Hyperhomocysteinaemia is considered an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis, and might play a role in ischaemic manifestations that occur with a variable frequency during the course of GCA. The purposes of the present study were: (i). to analyse the plasma levels of homocysteine in patients with GCA and PMR, (ii). to determine the influence of corticosteroid therapy on the homocysteine levels and (iii). to analyse if the levels of homocysteine may predict the development of ischaemic complications in patients with GCA.
