Spondyloarthritis & psoriatic arthritis
Characteristics associated with patient-reported treatment success in psoriatic arthritis
Authors' conclusion
Patient-reported treatment success in PsA may be achieved through improvement of inflammatory arthritis, psoriasis, pain, physical function, fatigue and the use of TNF-inhibitors. Patients reported treatment failure was most commonly due to symptoms of pain, fatigue and stiffness.
