Evaluating Gender Differences in Egyptian Fibromyalgia Patients Using the 1990, 2011, and 2016 ACR Criteria.
Abstract
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common rheumatic illness distinguished by chronic pain, fatigue, cognitive problems, and functional disability. However, the differences between men and women have not yet been comprehensively studied, especially after the development of the last 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the gender differences in symptom characteristics, cognitive dysfunction, and disease severity in Egyptian FM patients considering both the ACR 1990, 2011, and the last 2016 ACR diagnostic criteria.
