    This study reviewed 10 cases of polymyalgia rheumatica diagnosed in an urban general practice between 1974 and 1982. It highlights the condition's natural history, diagnostic challenges, and unpredictable outcomes in primary care settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • General Practice Research

    Background:

    • Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory condition affecting older adults.
    • Understanding its presentation in general practice is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Over an eight-year period (1974-1982), 10 PMR diagnoses were recorded in a single urban general practice.
    • The study observed the natural progression of PMR within a primary care context.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica presented challenges.
    • The outcome of PMR cases demonstrated occasional unpredictability.
    • Key aspects of PMR's natural history were documented.

    Implications:

    • General practice research is vital for addressing unanswered questions regarding polymyalgia rheumatica.
