Epidemiology and clinical pattern of psoriatic arthritis in Germany: a prospective interdisciplinary epidemiological study of 1511 patients with plaque-type psoriasis

Abstract

The findings are consistent with a high prevalence of undiagnosed cases of active PsA among patients with psoriasis seen by dermatologists. As many of these patients also have significant skin symptoms, treatment strategies are required that are equally effective in the control of skin and joint symptoms of psoriasis.
