Mashup Score: 14Specific descriptions of axial involvement are associated with radiographic damage development after 2 years in psoriatic arthritis patients - 6 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

Biological sex of patients with psoriatic arthritis influences their response to advanced therapies, but the effect varies by drug class. Selective reporting might have influenced these results. Future trials should report baseline characteristics and endpoint results by sex.

#PsA Metanalysis of 54 RCTs (22621 pts; 49% male). Males had less severe Dz than females (TJC, HAQ, global, pain) but higher PASI & CRP. Males had higher ACR20 resp to inhib of IL-17 (OR 1.7), IL-23 (1·46), 12/23 (2·67), TNF (1·55) but no diff w/ JAK/Tyk2 https://t.co/fOl9zpCv1G https://t.co/JXAj5sG1bf

Int'l cohort study of 431 established #PSA pts shows PsA patients w/ comorbid obesity were 2.5–3 folds less likely in remission/LDA (ORs 0.31, 0.39) vs non-obese. Obese PsA were more women, w/ higher TJC, pain, enthesitis counts & worse QOL https://t.co/OU1D14vLwv https://t.co/IhUDUd5MNv

Mashup Score: 0Racial disparities in comorbidities of patients with psoriatic arthritis - Rheumatology International - 11 month(s) ago
There have been significant advances in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Despite these advances, racial and ethnic disparities in clinical outcomes may still exist in patients with PsA. We aimed to examine the racial differences in clinical characteristics, medication usage and comorbidities in PsA patients. This retrospective study was conducted using the IBM Explorys platform.
