1 Profile of Psoriatic Arthritis: What to expect as a typical patient Dr Deepak Jadon Rheumatology Specialist Registrar & PhD Research Fellow
2 2 Overview Back ground on psoriatic arthritis (PsA) Epidemiology Disease course & prognosis Management overview Features of PsA Arthritis Tendons & ligament Skin Nails Eyes Fatigue Other Summary Questions
3 3 Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the musculoskeletal system Psoriasis + Arthritis PsA presents with a varied pattern of joint inflammation & extra-articular manifestations Including Arthritis (joint inflammation) Spondylitis (spinal inflammation) Skin psoriasis Nail psoriasis Dactylitis ( sausage finger / toe) Enthesitis (tendon / ligament insertion inflammation) Uveitis (eye inflammation) Metabolic syndrome (diabetes, obesity, high BP, angina, MI)
4 4 Epidemiology Prevalence of PsA in the UK population estimated to be 0.19% Men & women equally affected 14% of psoriasis patients affected by a PsA in a U.K. primary care study Estimates vary from 8-43%
5 5 Disease course PsA was once considered a mild disease that didn t warrant DMARD use. In the late 1980s it became apparent that PsA should be treated intensively A study in Toronto in 1987 showed that 2 years after PsA diagnosis 47% had erosions visible on x-rays of hands / feet 56% were taking DMARDs A study in Bath in 2003 showed that over a 5 year periods Majority of patients showed progression in the number of joints affected 68% had erosions visible on x-rays of hands / feet
6 6 What are my chances of remission? A study of 391 patient in Toronto in % of patients achieved remission with use of DMARDs Period of remission lasted 2.5 years But most patients had a relapse at 2.6 years Patients most likely to achieve remission Men Fewer inflamed joints at presentation Fewer erosions on x-ray at presentation Less disability at presentation Other predictors of good outlook Low CRP / ESR at presentation Good response to initial medications
7 7 Morbidity & mortality Mortality Study in Bath of 453 PsA patients seen between [Buckley 2010] No increased risk of death in the PsA patients compared to the general UK population PsA patients are at greater risk of [Gladman 2009] Myocardial infarction x2.57 Angina x1.97 High BP x1.90 Not stroke / heart failure All risks greater if concomitant Diabetes High cholesterol Severe psoriasis
8 Features of PsA 8

15 15 Polyarthritis subset 5 joints affected by arthritis Symmetrically affects proximal interphalangeal joints (PIPJ) distal interphalangeal joints (DIPJ) wrist knees ankles Can be indistinguishable from rheumatoid arthritis Unless x-rays extra-articular features
16 16
17 17
18 18 Oligoarthritis subset 4 joints affected by arthritis Asymmetrically Most frequent sites Proximal interphalangeal joints (PIPJ) Wrist Knees Ankles
19 19 Distal interphalangeal joint subset DIPJs affected Bulbous drumstick appearance to the ends of finger Symmetrically Several joints DIPJ involvement alone occurs in <20% of cases Mimics osteoarthritis calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease complicating nodal osteoarthritis Clubbing Can significantly impair hand dexterity
20 20
21 21 Arthritis mutilans Features destruction of bone in finger / toes marked deformity telescoping (skin folds, like opera glasses) X-ray: pencil in cup bone deformity
22 22
23 23 Examination of joints Often pronounced joint deformity, but perhaps limited pain. Pain on stressing the joint Joint line tenderness Fluid in the knee (effusion) Redness overlying the joint (erythaema)
24 24 Psoriatic spondyloarthropathy (PsSpA) Males > females How common is it? 25% of PsA patients 4% of PsA patients experience only spinal disease, and no peripheral problems Symptoms inflammatory spinal pain / stiffness worse in the morning on waking / 5am worsened by rest improved by activity improved by NSAIDs lasts >6 weeks Sites Cervical & Lumbar spine vertebrae (spondylitis) Sacro-iliac joints (sacroiliitis)
25 25
26 26
27 27 Examination of the spine Painful range of movement Looking over one s shoulder (cervical spine) Forward curvature of neck with difficult straightening (cervical spine) Picking a pen up of the floor without bending one s legs (lumbar spine) Alternating buttock pain during prolonged rest (sacro-iliac joints) Putting on socks (hips) Tenderness of sacroiliac joints on stressing

33 33 Dactylitis Sausage toe / finger uniform swelling along the length of the finger / toe red shiny stretched appearance Pathology Inflammation of joint, tendons, ligament & skin Site Feet 65% Hands 24% Affects 50% of PsA at some time point in their life (usually early on) Can indicate more severe disease X-ray damage worse in affected joints
34 34
35 35
36 36 Enthesitis = inflammation at the site where a tendon / ligament inserts into bone Sites Tennis / golfer s elbow (edges of elbows) Achilles insertion (calcaneum) Sole of foot (plantar fascia) Knee cap (patella ) Pelvic bone Often worst in the morning, improves with movement responds well to stretching exercises & steroid injections

60 60 Fatigue Very common Often people are bothered more by fatigue than swollen / tender joints Causes Underlying PsA inflammation Poor sleep due to PsA pain Symptoms profound lack of energy sensation of muscle weakness slowed reaction time poor concentration poor memory

63 63 Summary PsA is a complex multifaceted condition Spectrum of severity from mild to severe Not just skin & joints several sites affected some which one might not think to be connected Tailored therapy to the individual Lifelong condition, without a cure we can help you on that journey Please let us know we can help!
