Are MDA criteria created equal in PsA?
Minimal Disease Activity criteria are used to evaluate PsA disease activity and response to treatment. Given that a patient only has to meet 5 of the 7 criteria, should the individual components be weighted equally?

Window of opportunity in PsA
CorEvitas registry:
Early initiators had more severe disease & worse PROs
but if DMARD therapy initiated within 1 yr: RR=2 MDA achievement & higher reduction of CDAI

Abstr #1037 evaluated BASDAI vs ASDAS in PsA w/ axial dx
Both ASDAS & BASDAI showed
- strong correlation w/ pt pain & Global Assessment
- weak correlation in tender and swollen joint counts and enthesitis

Can we predict PsA incidence and prevalence trends?
Germany long-term projection 2040
3 scenarios:
1. increase 5%/yr
2. stable
3. decrease 5%/yr.
Best scenario (3) = peak diagnoses in 2028. Are medical resources ready for it?

Across 9 trials of Upadacitinib in RA, PsA and AS, 40%–50% of patients had ≥ 2 CV risk factors, ≥ 65 years 6%–23%. Rates of adjudicated MACE and VTE with UPA were infrequent, consistent with background rates in RA, PsA, and AS Abst 0510 https://t.co/HDkQ6ELnAy #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/SRJYdFFNIQ

In this study, Dr. Niti Goel shows the under-reporting of race & ethnicity in publications of #psoriaticarthritis clinical trials
🧐Participant diversity is important to consider since different races & ethnicities may respond differently to therapies
