Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate if a combination of patient-reported outcomes related to health, disability, pain, quality of life, and fatigue could help detect active disease in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 683 RA patients and 525 PsA patients, measuring the correlation between changes in these outcomes and clinically defined active disease.
  • Results showed that declines in general health, disability, quality of life, and pain were significantly linked to active disease, indicating that this combination of measures could effectively serve as a screening tool for monitoring these conditions remotely.

Objective: Persistent articular inflammation in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is associated with radiographic damage. Despite advances in diagnosis and therapy, radiographic structural damage remains prevalent in PsA. To elucidate this topic, we studied which baseline clinical characteristics determine radiographic progression.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Gonul Hazal Koc"

  • - Gonul Hazal Koc's recent research focuses on improving the assessment and management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) through patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and understanding the factors influencing radiographic progression in early PsA patients
  • - In the study published in October 2024, Koc investigated the effectiveness of combining multiple PROMs, including general health and quality of life measures, as a screening tool for detecting active disease in RA and PsA patients, highlighting its potential utility in clinical practice
  • - Another study published in May 2024 explored the determinants of radiographic progression in early PsA, aiming to identify baseline clinical characteristics that contribute to structural damage, thereby informing treatment strategies to mitigate such outcomes
