At the 2019 annual meeting of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA), members received updates on several ongoing efforts. Among them were updates on research, including the trainee symposium, pilot research grants, and the Collaborative Research Network; GRAPPA's patient research partners; education, including the slide collection; treatment recommendations; and additional work related to advancing the understanding of disease aspects, including the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT)-GRAPPA outcome measure, axial involvement, and ultrasound enthesitis projects; as well as the early psoriatic disease systematic literature review and magnetic resonance imaging.

Objective: New modes of action and more data on the efficacy and safety of existing drugs in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) required an update of the EULAR 2019 recommendations for the pharmacological treatment of PsA.
Methods: Following EULAR standardised operating procedures, the process included a systematic literature review and a consensus meeting of 36 international experts in April 2023. Levels of evidence and grades of recommendations were determined.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of comorbidities and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (RFs) in treatment-naive patients with early psoriatic arthritis (ePsA) and to identify factors that contribute to metabolic burden in ePsA.
Methods: This was an observational longitudinal multicenter cohort study. Clinical and demographic characteristics, CV RFs, and comorbidities were compared in patients newly diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and sex- and age-matched controls.

Given the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on patients with psoriatic disease (PsD), a session was devoted at the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2022 annual meeting to discussing the current understanding of the risk of severe COVID-19 in patients with PsD. The effects of PsD and its treatment on prevention and treatment of COVID-19 with vaccinations, antiviral drugs, and monoclonal antibodies were discussed. The session concluded with a presentation on the perspectives of patient research partners about their experiences with COVID-19.
