Mashup Score: 2
Objective To assess the risk of serious infection associated with different targeted therapies for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in real-world settings. Methods This nationwide cohort study used the administrative healthcare database of the French health insurance scheme linked to the hospital discharge database to identify all adults with PsA who were new users of targeted therapies (adalimumab, etanercept, golimumab, certolizumab pegol, infliximab, secukinumab, ixekizumab, ustekinumab, and tofacitinib) from 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2021. The primary outcome was a serious infection (ie, requiring hospitalisation), in a time-to-event analysis using propensity score-weighted Cox models, with adalimumab as the comparator, estimating weighted HRs (wHRs) and their 95% CIs. Results A total of 12 071 patients were included (mean age 48.7±12.7 years; 6965 (57.7%) women). We identified 367 serious infections (3.0% of patients), with a crude incidence rate of 17.0 per 1000 person-years (95% CI, 15

Mashup Score: 3Diane’s Story: It’s Never Too Late to Start Getting Good Care - The Psoriatic Arthritis Club - 2 month(s) ago
Diane should have been diagnosed with PsA well before she actually was. As a woman of color who grew up poor, she endured decades of inadequate treatment, misdiagnosis, and stigma. But she also learned a lot about how to turn things around and advocate for better care. “Someone told me a bunch of years ago, you have a voice, use it,” Diane says. “That had to be the best advice ever. Use your voice.”

Mashup Score: 2Sleep Problems in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis: A Systematic Literature Review and Metaanalysis - 4 month(s) ago
Objective The aim of this systematic review and metaanalysis is to summarize evidence regarding the relationship between psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and sleep problems. Methods We identified 36 eligible studies—26 cross-sectional, 7 cohort, and 3 interventional studies—in PubMed and Embase. Results The prevalence of self-reported sleep problems in patients with PsA ranged from 30% to 85%. A metaanalysis of 6 studies that used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index revealed a prevalence of poor sleep quality for patients with PsA of 72.9% (95% CI 63-81.8; I 2 = 78%), which was statistically higher than in healthy controls (26.9%, 95% CI 11.7-45.4; I 2 = 81%) but not significantly different than in patients with psoriasis (59.8%, 95% CI 46.9-72.1; I 2 = 51%). Sleep disturbance was ranked in the top 4 health-related quality of life domains affected by PsA. One study suggested a bidirectional relationship between PsA and obstructive sleep apnea. Predictors of sleep problems included anxiety, pai

Mashup Score: 3Mortality in patients with psoriatic arthritis in Sweden: a nationwide, population-based cohort study - 5 month(s) ago
Objectives To compare all-cause mortality and causes of death between patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and the general population in Sweden. Methods Adults with at least one main PsA diagnosis (International Classification of Diseases-10: L40.5/M07.0–M07.3) from outpatient rheumatology/internal medicine departments 2001–2017 were identified from the National Patient Register. Each case was matched to five population comparator-subjects on sex/county/age at the case’s first arthritis diagnosis. Follow-up ran from 1 January 2007, or from first PsA diagnosis thereafter, until death, emigration or 31 December 2018. Mortality was assessed overall, and stratified by sex and duration since diagnosis (diagnosis before/after 1 January 2007), using matched Cox proportional hazard regression (excluding/including adjustments for comorbidity) or Breslow test, as appropriate. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) of death, overall and stratified by sex/duration since diagnosis/age, as well as causes of

Mashup Score: 14Specific descriptions of axial involvement are associated with radiographic damage development after 2 years in psoriatic arthritis patients - 5 month(s) ago
Objectives Investigating the association between different definitions of axial involvement and syndesmophytes development over 2 years in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods Patients from a prospective multicentre cohort (Belgian Epidemiological Psoriatic Arthritis Study) involving 17 Belgian rheumatology practices were recruited between December 2012 and July 2014 and included when fulfilling the Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis. Axial involvement included six clinical and two radiographic oriented definitions. Two calibrated central readers evaluated radiographic damage by assessing the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score and modified New York criteria. New syndesmophytes after 2 years were described conditional on axial involvement at baseline. Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the association between syndesmophyte development and axial involvement. All definitions of axial involvement were evaluated separately. Results
