Key clinical point: Depression is prevalent in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), with patients not engaging in sports activities, experiencing fatigue, and having functional impairment being more likely to suffer from depression.
Major finding: Overall, 8.2% and 20.9% of patients with PsA had severe and moderate depressive symptoms, respectively. The odds of having depressive symptoms were higher in patients with functional impairment (odds ratio [OR] 1.08; P < .0001) and those experiencing fatigue (OR 1.56; P < .0001), whereas those engaging in sports for at least 1 hour/week were less likely to be depressed (OR 0.61; P = .0017).
Study details: This study included 1225 patients with PsA and 1245 patients with axial spondyloarthritis from the RABBIT-SpA cohort.
Disclosures: This study received open access funding from Projekt Deal, and RABBIT-SpA is supported by a joint, unconditional grant from AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, and various other sources. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
