Spondyloarthritis & psoriatic arthritis

Responsiveness and Minimum Clinically Important Difference in Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures Among Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis: A Prospective Cohort Study

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)Published Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

SRMs and MCII were relatively small in this real-world population, particularly among those with lower disease activity at baseline. BASDAI, cDAPSA, and PsAID12 had good sensitivity to change

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

SRMs and MCII of patient-reported outcome measures
  • Standardized response means (SRMs) and minimum clinically important improvement (MCII) for all measures were small to moderate, although greater among those with higher baseline disease activity
  • Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) had the best SRM overall and for less active PsA
  • Clinical Disease Activity of PsA (cDAPSA) and PsAID12 were best for those with higher disease activity

Observational data: associations, not effects.
