Bhaskar Dasgupta, ACR 2022: A validation study of the Southend pre-test probability score

Copy Link
Published Online: Nov 15th 2022

The southend pre-test probability score (SPTPS) was recently developed to estimate the probability of giant cell arteritis (GCA) based on symptoms, signs and lab findings. In this interview with Prof. Bhaskar Dasgupta (Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Southend-on-Sea, UK) we discuss the validation study of SPTPS and how effective the score was in assessing the clinical probability of GCA among suspected new cases.
