Key clinical point: A quarter of patients with early psoriatic arthritis who were naive to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) reported bone erosions, with a decreased prevalence being observed in patients with shorter duration of PsA symptoms (<8 months).
Major finding: Overall, 4655 hand and feet joints were assessed in 122 patients, of whom 24.6% patients had bone erosions at baseline, with higher Disease Activity features observed in patients who did vs did not have bone erosions (P < .05). Prevalence of erosion was less in patients who had a <8 months vs >24 months of PsA symptoms (17.5% vs 24.3%).
Study details: This study included 122 newly diagnosed, DMARD-naive patients with early PsA from the Leeds Spondyloarthropathy Register for Research and Observation cohort who were assessed for bone erosions using conventional radiography or ultrasound.
