Functional Impact of Structural Damage in Psoriatic Arthritis: Insights from a Prospective Cohort Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between radiographic structural damage and physical function (PF) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Their findings indicate that greater structural damage, especially severe joint destruction, is significantly associated with poorer PF outcomes, underscoring the need for early detection and intervention to prevent joint damage in this population.
