Treatment Algorithms for Inflammatory Myopathies in Adults: from Guidelines to Clinical Practice.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose of review

Inflammatory myopathies are a heterogeneous group of systemic autoimmune disorders with highly variable clinical presentations. The limited number of clinical trials has hindered the development of strong evidence-based management strategies. Therefore, there is a pressing need for consensus-driven treatment guidelines tailored to the various clinical and immunological phenotypes. This review combines existing published guidelines with the authors' clinical experience to provide a comprehensive, pragmatic approach to management.

Recent findings

A comparative review of existing treatment guidelines was recently published, revealing significant heterogeneity in therapeutic approaches and recommendations. This observation is consistent with our own experience
