Early treatment of psoriatic arthritis improves prognosis

15 Dec 2014Pais-up subscribers

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, autoimmune disease affecting up to 1% of the adult population and up to 40% of those with psoriasis. Around 20% of patients develop PsA before psoriasis, often many years before skin or nail changes. Aggressive treatment of early stage progressive PsA can substantially improve the long-term prognosis.
