A core mission of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) is to provide education about psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis globally. This is a multifaceted endeavor involving in-person and virtual lectures, discussions, podcasts, and archived videos directed toward clinicians and researchers who are involved with psoriatic disease (PsD) care. In partnership with patient service leagues, we also aim to provide education to patients with PsD. At the 2022 annual meeting, an update of the ongoing and expected educational initiatives was presented. A project with a high educational and research value is the Axial Involvement in Psoriatic Arthritis (AXIS) cohort established in collaboration with the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis international Society (ASAS). Here we summarize the status of the project.

Objectives: To explore thresholds for the Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) Impact of Disease questionnaire (PsAID12) score against disease activity measures in an observational setting, in patients with PsA.

Methods: The baseline data from the ReFlaP observational, prospective, multicentre and international study was used (NCT03119805). Cutoffs for PsAID12 were determined against disease activity scores, defining disease impact states (ie remission, low impact, moderate impact and high impact).

Growing evidence suggests that serotonin is an important mediator in the cross-talk between immune and bone cells, playing a role in the pathogenesis of various types of inflammatory arthritis (IA). However, the relationship between circulating serotonin and different outcomes in three most prevalent IA - rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), remains limited and requires further investigation. This study was performed to evaluate variations in serotonin serum levels among RA, PsA, and axSpA and to explore the utility of this biochemical marker in the assessment of disease activity and health status measurements provided by the Multi-Dimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire (MDHAQ).
