Dermatologists doing ultrasound (US) for earlier diagnosis of PsA? Grobelski et al showed in this study of 140 PsA patients, pre-US sensitivity/specifity was 81%/55%, post-US this changed to 62%/91%. Targeted US improved accuracy of referrals for PsA #EULAR2022 @RheumNow OP0029 https://t.co/iajqMuPqcd

Kading et al reports axial disease in 1/3 of patients with PsA, 55% females, 45% HLA-B27+, in 20% there was spinal but no SI joint involvement. Starts to define the Axial PsA patient as more female, less HLA-B27+ and may have only spinal inflammation #EULAR2022 @RheumNow OP0026

Important to capture MDA in the first year! Failure to achieve MDA in 1st year after PsA diagnosis associated with worse quality of life persisting despite intensified treatment. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 ABST#OP0028 https://t.co/FrO569J10S

No longer a "seronegative" disease? Serological collagen biomarkers (degradation markers of type I and VI collagen) can differentiate PsO pts from PsA. Potential biomarkers of MSK involvement? @RheumNow #EULAR2022 ABST#OP0031 https://t.co/vS6mD5PUxw

6 psoriatic disease specific risk factors associated with incident cardiovascular events in PsA/PsO patients: PsO area, TJC, SJC, HAQ score, ESR, daily use of NSAIDs @RheumNow #EULAR2022 #ABSTOP0030

Do biomarkers correlate with change in disease activity in #PsA? Esp IL17F not so much other IL17s, and IL6, IL23. Ian McInnes ? next steps 🤷‍♀️ to separate responder and non responder @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0024 https://t.co/JMmENRa80t

Proton Rahman discusses #PsA and #fatigue ⬇️ in #Guselkumab RCTs. 2/3 of fatigue was explained by pt factors - pt global and pain, skin, joints, CRP, function drove the data. Ask pt and treat what is treatable. #OP0025 @eular @RheumNow https://t.co/x4T6sPEi8o
