  • Title: Survival in temporal arteritis.
    Author: Graham E.
    Journal: Trans Ophthalmol Soc U K (1962); 1980 Apr; 100(Pt 1):108-10. PubMed ID: 6943817.
    Abstract:
    Ninety patients with biopsy proven temporal arteritis have been followed up from 6 months to 12 years. There appear to be two groups of patients who suffer with the disease: those that respond well to treatment and those who follow a chronic course depsite treatment. Serious late complications were not encountered in this series. A high maintenance level of corticosteroids (greater than 10 mg daily) correlates significantly with an increased mortality rate.
