Using a research network of general practitioners (Resomed 44) representing the 20th of all GP's in the Loire Atlantique region and distributed at random according to district, age and sex made it possible to evaluate the respective prevalences of temporal arteritis (TA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) in all the systemic immune diseases listed. Among these diseases, rheumatoid arthritis was the most frequent (35.39%). TA (18.8%) and PMR (18.54%) had about the same prevalence. For each of these diseases the year/physician prevalence was evaluated at 0.11, which means that the probability for each GP to see 1 TA and 1 RP at once in 10 years. At the time of the survey, 52.9% of TA patients and 78.8% of PMR patients were surviving. GP's alone follow up more TA's and PMR's than the other systemic immune diseases.
利用一个由全科医生组成的研究网络（Resomed 44），该网络代表大西洋卢瓦尔省所有全科医生的二十分之一，并根据地区、年龄和性别随机分布，从而有可能评估所列所有系统性免疫疾病中颞动脉炎（TA）和风湿性多肌痛（PMR）的各自患病率。在这些疾病中，类风湿性关节炎最为常见（35.39%）。TA（18.8%）和PMR（18.54%）的患病率大致相同。对于这些疾病中的每一种，每年/每位医生的患病率评估为0.11，这意味着每位全科医生在10年内同时遇到1例TA和1例RP的概率。在调查时，52.9%的TA患者和78.8%的PMR患者存活。仅全科医生随访的TA和PMR患者就比其他系统性免疫疾病更多。
