PsA disease outcome measures

Explore different disease outcome measures…

…and their importance in defining PsA disease activity in clinical practice.

PsA=psoriatic arthritis.

Many patients with PsA are not reaching optimal disease outcome goals in clinical practice1

~75% do not achieve minimal disease activity1*

*Based on MDA index;
MDA=minimal disease activity.

~80% do not achieve remission1*

*Based on cDAPSA remission
cDAPSA=Clinical Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis.

Barriers to achieving optimal disease outcomes in PsA

The decision-making pathway for clinicians is complex, and there are multiple reasons why patients do not achieve optimal disease activity goals.2-5

Challenges in PsA disease management include:
  • Disease heterogeneity2
  • No definitive diagnostic tests3
  • No consensus on preferred disease activity measures2
  • Patient and clinician discordance on most important disease outcomes4,5

~40% of clinicians do not routinely use disease activity measures in clinical practice6

There is an opportunity to address this unmet need in the management of patients with PsA.6-8

Routine implementation of stringent measures of PsA disease activity is a critical factor in patient management to optimize disease outcomes.7,8

How does the complexity of pathobiology affect the decision-making pathway?

Understanding the pathologic processes leading to axSpA is important to assessing and achieving improved disease outcomes.
