Abstract
Background: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory condition linked to psoriasis. According to studies, there is little correlation between arthritic patterns and PsA. Objective: To find relationships between psoriasis symptoms and PsA arthritis patterns. Methods: 100 PsA patients were enrolled in a cross-sectional study at Baghdad Teaching Hospital from December 2021 to June 2022, using CASPAR criteria. We gathered thorough demographic and clinical information, examined arthritis patterns, classified them into five kinds, and evaluated eight types and sites of psoriasis. Disease activity was measured using clinical and psoriasis indicators. Results: a weak negative connection among 100 individuals with psoriatic arthritis, plaque psoriasis, and distal interphalangeal (DIP) arthropathy. Erythrodermic psoriasis and spondylitis (with or without sacroiliitis) showed a slight positive connection. There was also a slight positive association between scalp psoriasis and DIP arthropathy. A comparable positive and weak relationship was found between polyarthritis and age, as well as polyarthritis and psoriatic arthritis disease activity. In contrast, asymmetrical oligoarthritis and PsA disease activity had a modest negative connection. Furthermore, enthesitis and DIP arthritis showed a weak negative connection. Body mass index and spondylitis (with or without sacroiliitis) showed a positive and weak correlation. The most significant finding was a modestly favorable relationship between skin psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis disease activity. Conclusions: There are weak but significant associations between particular psoriasis types and locales and arthritis patterns in PsA patients. These findings point to the possibility of developing individualized therapeutic regimens for PsA that take into account both dermatological and rheumatological signs.
