The updated 2016 psoriatic arthritis (PsA) core domain set, developed by GRAPPA-OMERACT, defines key features for clinical trials. This work guides the creation of a comprehensive PsA core outcome measurement set.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Clinical Trial Methodology
Background:
- The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA)-Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) PsA Core Set working group identified essential disease features for clinical trials.
- An updated 2016 psoriatic arthritis (PsA) core domain set was recently published.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the development process of the PsA core domain set.
- To outline ongoing and proposed work streams for developing a PsA core outcome measurement set.
Main Methods:
- Review of the development process for the PsA core domain set.
- Presentation of findings at the GRAPPA annual meeting (July 2016) and OMERACT (May 2016).
Main Results:
- The updated 2016 PsA core domain set was endorsed by 90% of OMERACT participants.
- A roadmap for the development of the PsA core outcome measurement set was drafted.
Conclusions:
- The PsA core domain set is established and guides future outcome measure development.
- Ongoing work focuses on creating a comprehensive measurement set for psoriatic arthritis clinical trials.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
