All the domains of sexual sphere are deteriorated in RA and PsA.
This aspect is often overlooked and can have a significant impact on pts QoL. It may be time to assess this aspect more specifically using CSFQ-14 and propose dedicated interventions. #OP0139 @RheumNow #EULAR2022 https://t.co/l0zyBIZ1LI
