Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyComparative performance of psoriatic arthritis screening tools in patients with psoriasis in European/North American dermatology clinics.
General practitioners/dermatologists may be aware of musculoskeletal symptoms in patients with psoriasis but may have difficulty accurately detecting psoriatic arthritis (PsA). ⋯ PASQ, PEST, and ToPAS are useful screening tools that can help dermatologists identify patients without PsA and patients with possible PsA who may benefit from rheumatologist assessment.
