摘要
A German expert committee recommends defining fast-track clinics (FTC) for the acute diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) as follows: easy and prompt reachability at least on weekdays, scheduling appointments ideally within 24 h, examination by a specialist with GCA expertise, >= 2 experts per FTC, >= 50 patients with suspected GCA per year, sonologists with >= 300 (>= 50) temporal and axillary artery examinations, adherence to standard operating procedures, availability of an >= 18 (>= 15) MHz and a lower frequency linear ultrasound probe, and collaboration with partners for neurology and ophthalmology consultations, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT, possibly CT), and for temporal artery biopsy. Eine Expertenkommission empfiehlt, Fast-Track Kliniken (FTK) f & uuml;r die Akutdiagnostik der Riesenzellarteriitis (RZA) folgenderma ss en zu definieren: niederschwellige, mindestens werkt & auml;gliche Erreichbarkeit, Terminvergabe idealerweise innerhalb von 24 h, Untersuchung durch Facharzt mit RZA-Expertise, >= 2 Experten pro FTK, >= 50 Patienten mit Verdacht auf RZA-Patienten pro Jahr, Ultraschalluntersucher mit >= 300 (>= 50) Untersuchungen von Temporal- und Axillararterien, Befolgung von Standardisierungsanweisungen, Verf & uuml;gbarkeit eines Schallkopfs >= 18 (>= 15) MHz- und eines niederfrequenteren Linearultraschallkopfs und von Kooperationspartnern f & uuml;r zeitnahe Durchf & uuml;hrung von augen & auml;rztlichen und neurologischen Untersuchungen, Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT), Positronenemissionstomographie-Computertomographie (PET-CT, ggf. CT) und Temporalarterienbiopsie.
