MRI (hyperintensity on STIR images and/or prominent contrast enhancement on postcontrast fat-suppressed T1-weighted images).
ANA, antinuclear autoantibodies; anti-CCP, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies; CRP, C reactive protein; ENA, extractable nuclear antigens; ICI, immune checkpoint inhibitor; IRAEs, immune-related adverse events; HLA, human leukocyte antigen; MS, musculoskeletal; MSI, musculoskeletal inflammation; ND, not determined; PET-CT, positron emission tomography-CT; PMR , polymyalgia rheumatica with ultrasound features including bursitis or tenosynovitis of shouldersor hips typical for PMR; RF, rheumatoid factor; Sicca, proven by Saxon and Schirmer test; SSA, anti-Sjögren’s syndrome-related antigen antibodies; US, ultrasound (proof of synovitis: ≥ grade 2 grey scale or ≥ grade 1 power Doppler findings); +ve, if positive; −ve, if negative.
