It Is High Time That We Define Axial Psoriatic Arthritis

This article summarizes sessions that dealt with axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) at the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2020 virtual meeting. The summary includes the symposium, which comprised a plenary presentation by Dr. Dafna Gladman from Toronto, Canada, as well as a panel discussion with Dr. Philip Helliwell, Dr. Denis Poddubnyy, and Dr. Gladman, moderated by Dr. Philip Mease. In addition, the paper also summarizes Dr. Mease’s “Meet the Expert” session, which focused on axPsA.

Axial Psoriatic Arthritis

Objective.The effect of smoking in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is under debate. Our aim was to test whether smoking is increased in axial PsA (axPsA).Methods.Included in the analysis were 1535 patients from PsArt-ID (PsA-International Database). The effect of smoking on axPsA (compared to other PsA phenotypes) and radiographic sacroiliitis were investigated.Results.Current smoking was more common in axPsA (28.6% vs 18.9%, p < 0.001). It also was found as an independent predictor of axPsA (OR 1.4) and radiographic sacroiliitis (OR 6.6).Conclusion.Current smoking is significantly associated with both axPsA and radiographic sacroiliitis in patients with PsA.
