Prevalence of undiagnosed psoriatic arthritis among psoriasis patients: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Skin psoriasis precedes the onset of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in 84% of patients with psoriasis. Dermatologists have an important role to screen psoriasis patients for PsA. The efficiency of PsA screening remains unknown.

Treatment (biotherapy excluded) of psoriatic arthritis: an appraisal of methodological quality of international guidelines.

Background: Some international guidelines have been published to provide the best care for patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) but little is known about their quality.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to examine the quality of guidelines that concern treatment (biotherapy exluded) of PsA. The secondary aim was to review studies published since the publication of the most recent guideline.

Symptoms dermatologists should look for in daily practice to improve detection of psoriatic arthritis in psoriasis patients: an expert group consensus.

Background: Up to 29% of patients with psoriasis seen by dermatologists have undiagnosed psoriatic arthritis (PsA). As early detection of PsA may be associated with improved joint and skin outcomes, it is essential for dermatologists to improve their ability to diagnose PsA. Skin and nail features of psoriasis associated with PsA are well known to dermatologists but they may feel less confortable assessing other symptoms and they rarely use PsA screening questionnaires.
