In this online, self-learning activity: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, progressive disease that, untreated, may lead to permanent joint damage, disability, impaired quality of life, and cardiovascular disease. Both globally and in the U.S., the prevalence of PsA is 0.1% to 1%, but it is a common comorbidity of patients with psoriasis, affecting between a quarter and a half of those with moderate-to-severe disease. PsA is an immune-mediated disease characterized by inflammation of the skin and nails disease or a family history of psoriasis in association with pluralistic musculoskeletal disease that may involve entheses, the spine, and peripheral joints. Unlike the clinical manifestations of inflammatory, pathophysiological processes of psoriasis, a failure to intervene early in PsA with treatment often results in damage that is irreversible. In all, patients with PsA incur about four times the direct medical costs as compared to the average medical patient. Yet despite the considerable health and economic burden represented by the disease, delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are not uncommon.
