Semiquantitative Evaluation of Extrasynovial Soft Tissue Inflammation in the Shoulders of Patients with Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Elderly-Onset Rheumatoid Arthritis by Power Doppler Ultrasound

<div>Changes in the sum of the hyperemia on subscapularis tendon scores of bilateral shoulders (Bil-HSScTS) after treatment with corticosteroids and/or antirheumatic drugs. Bil-HSScTS decreased after treatment in both PMR patients (circle, solid line) and EORA patients with PMR-like onset (triangle, dashed line).</div>
