Title: Spondyloarthritis Including Psoriatic Arthritis – Diagnosis, Manifestations, & Outcomes Poster I: Psoriatic Arthritis

Session Type: Poster Session A

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose: The degree of joint and skin involvement varies across patients with PsA. Differences in patient outcomes with active joint only vs. joint plus skin involvement have not been extensively studied in a real-world setting. The objective of this study was to assess prevalence of joint-only and joint-plus-skin disease in a real-world clinical setting, and to assess the incremental impact of skin symptoms on quality of life (QoL), disability and work productivity.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey in patients with PsA recruited by rheumatologists and dermatologists was conducted in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK and US. Data were collected Jun-Aug 2018 via physician-completed forms and patient-completed forms. Patients were compared by joint and skin involvement (joint only, joints plus 1-3%, >3-10%, and >10% body surface area [BSA]) using parametric and non-parametric tests. Multiple linear regression analyses examined impact of incremental BSA on patient reported outcomes (PROs) (EQ5D, HAQ-DI, PsAID12, WPAI). Models controlled for gender, age, time since diagnosis, employment status, biologic DMARD use, BMI, number of joints affected.

Results: Of 1,909 patients (539 US, 1,370 EU), 35% of patients had joint-only disease, while 26%, 23%, and 16% experienced joint disease plus 1-3%, >3-10%, and >10% BSA respectively (Figure 1). Patients were comparable demographically (Table 1). After controlling for demographics and number of joints involved, results showed BSA independently and significantly impacted QoL, work productivity, disability (Table 2).

Conclusion: Two thirds of this sample of actively treated PsA patients had skin involvement. Over half had moderate-severe psoriasis (BSA >3%). Joint counts increased with BSA. After controlling for joint counts, increasing skin involvement adversely impacted QoL, disability and work productivity.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
