- Higher uveitis rates
- Lower psoriasis rates
- More structural damage in SI joints

🚨Therapeutic target in PsO?
Abst#0067 from Cleveland Clinic evaluated pts w/ PsO at high risk for PsA (HR-PsO).
- HR-PsO: ⬆️percentage in migratory dendritic cells with elevated expression of CXCR4.
- Migratory effect ⬇️ after selective CXCR4 inhibitor. #ACR24 @ElaineHusniMD… https://t.co/nVoAThUxi1 https://t.co/8d1K3nkttI

The rising placebo response rates in PsA trials are linked to global recruiting patterns, with more studies in less affluent countries. Limited access to healthcare may drive this trend, highlighting the need for awareness among stakeholders. Plenary Abstr#0722… https://t.co/FplpSlIamR https://t.co/NIp76IS6TZ

Location of research matters Ab#0772
Global recruiting patterns impact PBO in PsA
PBO results improve w time - 0.9%/year
More globalization of trials w time
Gross nation index (GNI) neg ass w ACR20 - inclusion of less affluent controls affects higher PBO response
