The Authors provide an update on benign edematous polysynovitis in the elderly and propose clinical and laboratory criteria for a correct diagnosis. They also propose the use of the term "polysynovitis" rather than polyarthritis, as they think it describes the histopathological findings of the disease better. Finally, they attempt to correctly distinguish RS3PE syndrome from polymyalgia rheumatica, rheumatoid arthritis and chondrocalcinosis.
作者提供了关于老年人良性水肿性多滑膜炎的最新情况，并提出了正确诊断的临床和实验室标准。他们还建议使用“多滑膜炎”一词而非多关节炎，因为他们认为该词能更好地描述疾病的组织病理学表现。最后，他们试图正确区分缓解性血清阴性对称性滑膜炎伴凹陷性水肿综合征与风湿性多肌痛、类风湿关节炎和软骨钙质沉着症。
