Of 1,473 consecutive new patients seen in an outpatient rheumatology clinic, 3.7% met criteria for "primary fibrositis." Secondary fibrositis was diagnosed in 12.2% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 15.7% of patients with primary neck and back pain syndromes and 6.7% of patients with osteoarthritis (OA). When conditions presumed to be associated with secondary fibrositis were excluded, primary fibrositis was identified in 55 of 405 patients or 13.6%. Two hundred fifteen or 14.6% of all patients had either primary or secondary fibrositis. Fibrositis may be the most common disorder seen in rheumatic disease practice after OA and RA.
在一家门诊风湿病诊所连续就诊的1473名新患者中，3.7%符合“原发性纤维织炎”的标准。类风湿关节炎（RA）患者中12.2%被诊断为继发性纤维织炎，原发性颈背痛综合征患者中15.7%被诊断为继发性纤维织炎，骨关节炎（OA）患者中6.7%被诊断为继发性纤维织炎。当排除推测与继发性纤维织炎相关的疾病后，405名患者中有55名（即13.6%）被确诊为原发性纤维织炎。215名患者（占所有患者的14.6%）患有原发性或继发性纤维织炎。纤维织炎可能是继OA和RA之后在风湿病临床实践中最常见的疾病。
