Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging

Background:

  • Enthesitis is a hallmark of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), often presenting as the initial site of inflammation.
  • Ultrasound (US) offers potential for improved clinical assessment of enthesitis.
  • Current lack of a standardized global sonographic scoring method hinders patient-level enthesitis evaluation in PsA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize the evaluation of enthesitis in PsA patients using ultrasound.
  • To develop and validate new instruments for assessing enthesitis extent at the patient level.
  • To combine data-driven and expert opinion-driven approaches for instrument development.

Main Methods:

  • Summarizes recent activities of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) US Working Group.
  • Focuses on a 2-day workshop held after the 2018 GRAPPA annual meeting in Toronto.
  • Utilizes a combined data-driven and expert opinion-driven approach.

Main Results:

  • The GRAPPA US Working Group is actively working towards a standardized ultrasound scoring method for enthesitis in PsA.
  • Recent activities and a dedicated workshop have been instrumental in this development process.
  • The group aims to create a reliable tool for evaluating enthesitis extent at the patient level.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized ultrasound assessment is crucial for accurately evaluating enthesitis in psoriatic arthritis.
  • The GRAPPA US Working Group's efforts are directed towards developing a validated, patient-level scoring instrument.
  • This initiative promises to enhance the clinical management of PsA by improving enthesitis assessment.
