  1. Psoriatic arthritis – definition and classification criteria Philip Helliwell Senior Lecturer in Rheumatology University of Leeds

  2. Psoriatic arthritis Wright V Annals of Rheumatic Diseases 1961;20:123-132

  3. Too sensitive? Too specific?

  4. Psoriatic arthritis – key individual features • Psoriasis • Symmetry • Rheumatoid factor

  5. Psoriasis • May be hidden • May be coming • May have gone • May be in family • May be misdiagnosed

  6. Symmetry in early and late psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis

  7. Joint frequency by disease

  8. Psoriatic arthritis - the significance of rheumatoid factor • Moll and Wright excluded (usually) • Gladman (and others) included ( up to 15%) • Not unreasonable to allow RF as may just reflect a chronic inflammatory state • Need to: • Reliably exclude the seronegative rheumatoid arthritis • Reliably include the seropositive psoriatic arthritis

  9. Rheumatoid factor • Could we make this test more specific? • Rheumatoid factor isotypes • Or use other tests? • Anti-perinuclear factor • Anti-CCP antibodies

  10. Summary of CART analysis

  11. Psoriatic arthritis –one disease or more? • Large joint mono/oligoarthritis • Entheseal disease (including spinal disease) • SAPHO/CRMO • DiP and mutilans • Symmetrical polyarthritis + Ps = RA?

  12. Psoriatic arthritis – does it exist? • Cats believed psoriasis merely modifies inflammatory response • Immunogenetic data not all that convincing • Inflammatory response has an array of common pathways

  13. Psoriatic arthritis – why bother? • BUT… • Nosology • Good and bad prognostic disease • Treatment outcome • Treatment indications • Same NSAIDs • Same DMARDs • Same biologics

  14. Impairment, disability and quality of life in RA and PsA

  15. Disability and quality of life in RA and psoriatic arthritis according to severity of arthritis

  16. 700 patients with psoriatic arthritis 700 controls with inflammatory arthritis and inflammatory OA Standardised proforma Clinical and historic data Radiographic data Genetic data Quality control Validation of classification criteria for psoriatic arthritis A prospective multi-centre international case control study

  17. Analysis by: Conditional logistic regression Latent class analysis Classification and regression trees International study All major ‘players’ Consensus criteria Based on sound methodology Validation of classification criteria for psoriatic arthritis RESULTS AVAILABLE IN 2003 2004

  18. What will CASPAR do? • Enable us all to use the same criteria • Distinguish between seronegative rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis • Facilitate studies of • natural history • Treatment • immunogenetics

  19. Psoriatic arthritis • Is a distinctive disorder • New criteria need to encapsulate this while not being exclusive • A distinctive (and preferably pathogenic) biologic marker would help
