Key clinical point: Sonographic enthesitis showed strong association with sonographic synovitis and tenosynovitis in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), suggesting the clinical significance of sonographic enthesitis as a potential marker for inflammation in other musculoskeletal domains.
Major finding: Sonographic enthesitis was significantly associated with sonographic synovitis (β 0.19; P = .004) and sonographic tenosynovitis (β 0.1; P = .003) and showed strong correlation with patient-reported outcomes, such as Health Assessment Questionnaire (P = .003), morning stiffness (P = .002), and others.
Study details: This study prospectively recruited 158 patients with PsA who underwent sonographic assessment of 52 joints, 40 tendons, and 14 entheses points along with clinical evaluation.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
