pearls

  • Be aware that the score cutoffs differ based on the inclusion or exclusion of ultrasound results. 
  • This score is not diagnostic for polymyalgia rheumatica but can be used for research purposes and assistance in classification of symptoms.
  • See this article for additional reading on the differences between diagnostic and classification criteria.

usecase

  • This score can be used to classify patients who present with symptoms concerning for polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).
  • It should only be used with patients who are ≥50 years of age, present with bilateral shoulder pain, and who have an abnormal ESR and/or CRP.
  • You can use this score with or without ultrasound findings, but the cutoff value for classification will change.

reasons

next_advice

  • Patients scoring ≥4 without ultrasound are classified as having PMR.
  • Patients scoring ≥5 with ultrasound are classified as having PMR.
  • Initial therapy usually includes oral steroids but clinical judgment should be used when determining treatment pathway.
