Key clinical point: In biologic-naïve patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who initiated a first tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi), sex, disease duration, C-reactive protein level, age at treatment initiation, and fatigue predicted the achievement of the Disease Activity index for PsA in 28 joints (DAPSA28) remission at 6 months.
Major finding: Male sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.85; 95% CI, 1.54-2.23), longer disease duration (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.26-2.20), and higher C-reactive protein (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.22-1.89) positively predicted the achievement of DAPSA28 remission at 6 months, whereas older age at treatment initiation (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96-0.98) and higher fatigue score (OR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99) were negative predictors.
Study details: This study evaluated the data of 13,369 biologic-naïve patients registered with a PsA diagnosis from 13 European registries who initiated a first TNFi treatment.
Disclosures: This study was sponsored by Novartis Pharma AG. Several authors declared receiving speaker or consulting fees and research grants from various sources, including Novartis.
