Residual disease activity in psoriatic arthritis: discordance between the rheumatologist’s opinion and minimal disease activity measurement

Abstract

One-third of the PsA patients with acceptable disease state according to the treating rheumatologist did not fulfil the MDA criteria and had residual disease activity on both subjective and objective disease activity measurements. As residual disease activity was associated with worse PROs, future strategy trials should evaluate if treatment adjustments are beneficial for this patient group.
