Enthesitis is a key feature in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and may be the initial site of musculoskeletal inflammation in patients with PsA. Ultrasound (US) could improve the accuracy of clinical enthesitis assessment, but at present no consensus exists on a global sonographic enthesitis scoring method that can evaluate the extent of enthesitis at the patient level. The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) US Working Group has set up a goal to optimize the evaluation of enthesitis in patients with PsA using US through the development and validation of new instruments using a combined data-driven and expert opinion-driven approach.

Objective: To assess the performance of various sonographic elemental entheseal lesions in distinguishing between psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and controls to inform the development of a novel sonographic enthesitis score for PsA.
Methods: A total of 100 age- and sex-matched individuals (50 PsA and 50 controls) were evaluated. Eleven entheseal sites were scanned bilaterally according to a standardized protocol by 2 sonographers.

Objective: As part of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) ultrasound working group, we performed a systematic review of the literature to assess the evidence and knowledge gaps in scoring instruments of enthesitis in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBase, and Cochrane databases was performed. The search strategy was constructed to find original publications containing terms related to ultrasound, enthesitis, spondyloarthritis (SpA) or PsA.
