Background:Psoriasis is an important feature of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Psoriasis itself is known to have a significant impact on Health-related Quality of life (HRQoL)1, however its role within PsA is less well understood. In daily practice, assessment of psoriasis may not always be a priority for rheumatologists, having been trained to focus on articular involvement. In order to assess whether psoriasis deserves more attention from rheumatologists, the aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of psoriasis on HRQoL in early PsA patients.Objectives:To describe the evolution of psoriasis severity during the first year of follow up in patients with early PsA and to evaluate the impact of psoriasis severity on HRQoL.Methods:Real world data were used from the Dutch south west Psoriatic Arthritis cohort (DEPAR) study, consisting of newly diagnosed PsA patients included between July 2013 and February 2019. Psoriasis severity was assessed using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and categorized in: no psoriasis (PASI 0), mild psoriasis (PASI<7), moderate psoriasis (PASI 7-12) and severe psoriasis (PASI>12). Musculoskeletal disease severity was measured with the Disease Activity in PSoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) score as contrast for psoriasis severity. DAPSA was categorized in: remission (REM[DAPSA≤4]), low disease activity (LDA[DAPSA≤14]), moderate disease activity (MDA[DAPSA≤28]) and high disease activity (HDA[DAPSA>28]).2General HRQoL was assesed with the Short-Form 36 (SF-36[Physical component scale and Mental component scale]). Skin-specific HRQoL was measured with the Skindex-17 (psychosocial scale and symptoms scale).Results:In total, 435 patients were included. Mean (sd) age was 49.7 (13.4) years and 53% (n=229) was male. Psoriasis severity does not fluctuate much over the course of the first year and the majority of patients had mild psoriasis (Figure 1). HRQoL worsened with increasing psoriasis severity, when measured by the Skindex17. This reduction in HRQoL was not seen when measured with the SF-36 (Figure 2).Figure 1.Psoriasis severity categories during the first year of follow up. No psoriasis (PASI 0), mild psoriasis (PASI<7), moderate psoriasis (PASI 7-12) and severe psoriasis (PASI>12).Figure 2.A, B: Median Skindex17 psychosocial score and symptoms score per psoriasis severity category and DAPSA category at baseline. C,D: Mean SF36 Physical component scale (PCS) score and Mental component scale (MCS) score per psoriasis severity category and DAPSA category at baseline. No psoriasis (PASI 0), mild psoriasis (PASI<7), moderate psoriasis (PASI 7-12) and severe psoriasis (PASI>12). REM (DAPSA<4), LDA (DAPSA<14), MDA (DAPSA<28) and HDA (DAPSA>28)Conclusion:In early PsA patients, psoriasis severity is mostly mild, but considerably impacts HRQoL when measured using a skin specific questionnaire. For optimal management of PsA patients, we therefore recommend rheumatologists to additionally acquire information on the degree of psoriatic involvement. In our opinion, this information is valuable for the adequate assessment of HRQoL.References:[1]Strober B, Greenberg JD, Karki C, Mason M, Guo N, Hur P, et al.

Abstract Introduction/objectives To evaluate changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and productivity following treatment with intravenous (IV) golimumab in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods Patients were randomized to IV golimumab 2 mg/kg (n=241) at Weeks 0, 4, then every 8 weeks (q8w) through Week 52 or placebo (n=239) at Weeks 0, 4, then q8w, with crossover to IV golimumab 2 mg/kg at Weeks 24, 28, then q8w through Week 52. Change from baseline in EuroQol-5 dimension-5 level (EQ-5D-5L) index and visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), daily productivity VAS, and the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) was assessed. Relationships between these outcomes and disease activity and patient functional capability were evaluated post hoc. Results At Week 8, change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L index (0.14 vs 0.04), EQ-VAS (17.16 vs 3.69), daily productivity VAS (−2.91 vs −0.71), and WLQ productivity loss score (−2.92 vs −0.78) was greater in the golimumab group versus the placebo group, respectively. At Week 52, change from baseline was similar in the golimumab and placebo-crossover groups (EQ-5D-5L index: 0.17 and 0.15; EQ-VAS: 21.61 and 20.84; daily productivity VAS: −2.89 and −3.31; WLQ productivity loss: −4.49 and −3.28, respectively). HRQoL and productivity were generally associated with disease activity and functional capability, with continued association from Week 8 through Week 52. Conclusion IV golimumab resulted in early and sustained improvements in HRQoL and productivity from Week 8 through 1 year in patients with PsA. HRQoL and productivity improvements were associated with improvements in disease activity and patient functional capability. Key Points• In patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), intravenous (IV) golimumab improved health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and productivity as early as 8 weeks and maintained improvement through 1 year• Improvements in HRQoL and productivity outcomes in patients with PsA treated with IV golimumab were associated with improvements in disease activity and patient functional capability outcomes• IV golimumab is an effective treatment option for PsA that can mitigate the negative effects of the disease on HRQoL and productivity

Background:Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) experience diverse symptoms including skin and nail psoriasis, swollen and tender joints, enthesitis, and fatigue that have shown to impair health related quality of life (QoL). We hypothesized that different elements of disease influence SF-36 physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) component summary scores differently.Objectives:The objective of the study was to assess the interaction between change in disease activity (DAS28CRP), PsA symptoms (psoriasis [PsO], nail PsO, enthesitis, fatigue, pain, and physical function) with changes in PCS and MCS scores in a PsA patient cohort exploring effect of treatment on clinical manifestations and patient-reported outcome (PRO).Methods:Data were obtained from the PIPA cohort (1) at baseline and after 4 months of treatment. Patients’ characteristics were described as medians with interquartile ranges (IQRs) and numbers with percentages. Data were presented as changes between baseline and follow-up with delta (Δ) values on xyz-plots. Associations between PCS and MCS scores, DAS28CRP, and PsA symptoms were described with fitted linear regression plane models. PCS and MCS were derived from 8 domains of SF-36 and ranged from 0-100 with lower values reflecting more impaired QoL.Results:71 PsA patients were included in the study. 40 (56%) patients were female with a mean age of 50 (IQR 41-60) years and disease duration of 2.15 (IQR 0.2-9) years. Figure 1 shows associations between PsA symptoms, DAS28CRP, and PCS (green regression plane) and MCS (blue regression plane). For all PROs; pain, fatigue and physical function, improvements in both ΔPCS and Δ MCS scores were associated with improvements in either Δpain, ΔPsAID fatigue, and/or ΔHAQ, and to a larger extent than improvements in ΔDAS28CRP. Improvements in Δnail PsO (regression coefficient (RC): -0.22) and ΔPASI (RC: -0.31) positively impacts ΔMCS, without a clear association in PCS scores (RC: 0.13 and 0.38 for Δnail PsO and ΔPASI, respectively). Improvement in inflammatory features SPARCC enthesitis and DAS28CRP showed improvement in both ΔPCS and ΔMCS.Figure 1.Association between disease activity, individual symptoms and PCS/MCS PCS; physical component summary (green regression plane), MCS; mental component summary (blue regression plane).

Here we show that diminishing these factors, pain and fatigue, improved both PCS and MCS scores more than changes in DAS28CRP. Improvements in skin and nail manifestations impacted MCS scores and are as important as changes in joint manifestations which affect PCS and MCS scores equally.References:[1] Hojgaard P et al.

Introduction: Psoriasis is a frequent, chronic, systemic immune-mediated disease mainly affecting the skin and joints. Aim: To assess health related quality of life and cost-of-illness in moderate to severe psoriasis associated with psoriatic arthritis. Method: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted at two academic dermatology clinics in Hungary. Results: Fifty-seven patients (65% males) completed the survey with a mean age of 54.3±11.6 years and mean EQ-5D score of 0.48±0.4. Mean annual total cost was €8,977 per patient, of which 71% occurred due to biological therapy and 21% were indirect costs, respectively. Permanent work disability due to psoriasis accounted for €1,775 (95% of the indirect costs). Per patient costs of subgroups not receiving systemic therapy (21%), traditional systemic therapy (32%), and biological systemic therapy (47%) amounted to the sum of €1,729, €1,799, and €16,983, respectively. Conclusions: Patients on biological therapy showed significantly better health related quality of life. As for health economics, the efficacy of systemic treatments is appropriate to be assessed together in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis associated with psoriatic arthritis, since actual health gain might exceed that reported in psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis separately.
