How do patient-reported outcome measures affect treatment intensification and patient satisfaction in the management of psoriatic arthritis? A cross sectional study of 503 patients.

Objectives: The AsseSSing Impact in pSoriatic Treatment (ASSIST) study investigated prescribing in routine PsA care and whether the patient-reported outcome-PsA Impact of Disease questionnaire (PsAID-12)-impacted treatment. This study also assessed a range of patient and clinician factors and their relationship to PsAID-12 scoring and treatment modification.

Methods: Patients with PsA were selected across the UK and Europe between July 2021 and March 2022.

An international multi-centre analysis of current prescribing practices and shared decision-making in psoriatic arthritis.

Objectives: Shared decision-making (SDM) is advocated to improve patient outcomes in Psoriatic arthritis (PsA). We analysed current prescribing practices and the extent of SDM in PsA across Europe.

Methods: The ASSIST study was a cross-sectional observational study of PsA patients aged ≥18 years attending face-to-face appointments between July 2021-March 2022.

Ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging of the quadriceps tendon enthesis in healthy subjects.

Purpose: Although enthesitis is a hallmark of several rheumatologic conditions, current imaging methods are still unable to characterize entheses changes because of the corresponding short transverse relaxation times (T2). A growing number of MR studies have used Ultra-High Field (UHF) MRI in order to assess low-T2 tissues e.g.

Concentric or eccentric physical activity for patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knee: a randomized prospective study.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis-related pain limits physical function and leads to functional disability. Physical activity is one of the central recommendations for the management of knee osteoarthritis. Although concentric muscle activities are often preferred to eccentric ones, the corresponding rationale remains controversial.
