Key clinical point: Under tight settings for monitoring and treatment, women vs. men with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) had more severe disease and were less likely to achieve low disease activity (LDA), particularly if overweight.
Major finding: Women vs. men had worse mean PsA Disease Activity Score (3.5 vs. 2.7; P less than .001) and were more likely to not reach LDA (odds ratio [OR], 1.62; P = .002). Being overweight was associated with not reaching LDA (OR, 2.41-3.43; P less than .05) in women but not in men.
Study details: Findings are from secondary analysis of routine practice data of 855 outpatients with PsA who were critically monitored and treated.
Disclosures: The study was supported by the regional junior researcher grant from the Sint Maartenskliniek, Nijmegen, and the Radboudumc, Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The authors declared no competing interests.
