Objectives: Patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are at a significantly increased risk of hyperuricaemia and development of gout, and those with hyperuricaemia have been found to respond poorly to PsA treatment and have more peripheral and destructive joint damage. We present a comprehensive post hoc analysis using pooled data from the FUTURE 2-5 studies and the MAXIMISE study to further evaluate the impact of hyperuricaemia on clinical presentation/disease severity and response to secukinumab in patients with PsA.
Methods: Patients were stratified into two groups based on baseline serum uric acid (SUA) level (threshold of 360 µmol/L).

Objectives: We evaluated the burden of noninvasive group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in ambulatory pediatrics before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in France.
Methods: We analyzed data from a national network of ambulatory pediatricians between 2018 and 2022. Clinicians evaluating children ≤15 years old for tonsillopharyngitis, perianal infections, paronychia/blistering dactylitis, and scarlet fever were invited to perform a rapid antigen detection test (RADT) for GAS.

Objective: To evaluate secukinumab (SEC) 300 mg and 150 mg vs placebo in a United States-only population of biologic-naïve patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Methods: CHOICE was a double-blind, randomized controlled trial conducted in the US. Biologic-naïve patients with PsA and psoriasis (PsO) were randomized 2:2:1 to SEC 300 mg (n = 103), SEC 150 mg (n = 103), or placebo (n = 52).

Department of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Division of Rheumatology, Ghent University Hospital, Gent.
Objectives: To delineate the impact of peripheral musculoskeletal manifestations on stratification of disease phenotype and outcome in new-onset spondyloarthritis (SpA), using a prospective observational nationwide inception cohort, the BelGian Inflammatory Arthritis and spoNdylitis cohorT (Be-Giant).
Methods: Newly diagnosed adult SpA patients, fulfilling the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria for axial or peripheral SpA, were included in Be-Giant and prospectively followed every six months. Peripheral involvement (defined as arthritis, enthesitis and/or dactylitis) was determined in relation to clinically similar patient subsets at baseline and disease activity patterns during two-year follow-up, identified through K-means cluster analysis and latent class growth analysis.

Objective: This study sought to compare disease activity, clinical features, and patient-reported outcomes concerning anxiety, depression, fatigue, function, quality of life, and fibromyalgia between female and male patients with peripheral PsA in a Turkish population.
Methods: This multi-center Turkish League Against Rheumatism (TLAR) Network study included 1038 patients (678 females, 360 males) diagnosed with peripheral PsA according to the CASPAR criteria. The demographic and clinic parameters of the patients were recorded.
