Key clinical point: Fatigue is a prevalent phenomenon among patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and strongly correlated with quality of life (QoL), disease activity, and levels of serum interleukin-17 (IL-17).
Major finding: Level of PsA disease activity was significantly correlated with measures of fatigue, functional capacity, and QoL (P less than .001). Moreover, QoL (P = .001), disease activity (P = .019), and serum IL-17 (P = .029) were significant independent predictive factors for fatigue.
Study details: The findings come from an analysis of 80 adults with PsA from the outpatient clinics of Physical Medicine, Rheumatology, & Rehabilitation Department, Tanta University Hospitals randomly selected during the period from December 2019 to August 2020.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. All the authors declared no conflicts of interest.
