What the result means

< 4
Does not meet the PMR threshold.
>= 4
Classifies as polymyalgia rheumatica (without ultrasound), after the entry criteria. A classification, not a treatment order.

What you enter

  • Morning stiffness > 45 minutes (+2)
  • Hip pain or limited range of motion (+1)
  • Absence of RF and/or ACPA (+2)
  • Absence of other joint involvement (+1)
