Key clinical point: The second proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the right hand and the right knee joint were the most affected in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), particularly in those with older age and an earlier onset of PsA.
Major finding: The second PIP joint of the right hand had the greatest prevalence of swelling (18.9%), and the right knee joint had the highest prevalence of tenderness (24.2%). Older age was a risk factor, whereas an earlier onset of PsA was a protective factor for both swelling of the second PIP joint of the right hand and tenderness of right knee joint (P < .05 for all).
Study details: This cross-sectional study included 264 patients with PsA.
Disclosures: This study was funded by the National Key Research and Development Program of China and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The authors did not declare any conflicts of interest.
