3 PRETEST/POSTTEST EXPLANATIONS Question 1 Psoriatic arthritis may be associated with specific musculoskeletal and cutaneous features, such as synovitis, pustulosis, acne, hyperostosis, osteitis syndrome, and other features. Which of the following clinical manifestations is less likely to be a manifestation of psoriatic arthritis? 1. Dactylitis 2. Enthesitis 3. Grinding or clicking during movement 4. Peripheral edema 5. Psoriatic onycho-pachydermo periostitis Correct Answer: 3. Explanation: Grinding or clicking during movement is specific to osteoarthritis. Dactylitis or sausage digit is the complete swelling of a single digit in the hand or foot and occurs in 30-40% of patients during the course of the disease. Enthesitis refers to the inflammatory lesions at the insertion of tendon into bone. Symptomatic enthesitis occurs in 20-40% of patients with psoriatic arthritis. Peripheral edema is frequently asymmetric, preferentially affects the lower limbs, can occur anytime during the course of the disease, and is thought to be associated with extensor tenosynovitis. Local enthesitis with the edema is found along the course of the involved tendon. This type of edema is usually responsive to oral corticosteroids. SAPHO syndrome of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis is an uncommon but recognized subgroup of psoriatic arthritis. Clinically, less than 3% of patients with psoriatic arthritis are found to have SAPHO at initial evaluation but at least 67% of all patients with SAPHO syndrome have psoriasis vulgaris or palmoplantar pustulosis. Psoriatic onycho-pachydermo-periostitis is a rare manifestation that refers to severe involvement of one or more terminal phalanges with associated severe nail dystrophy, soft tissue swelling, and marked periosteal reaction of the distal phalanx, which can be seen on radiographs.

4 PRETEST/POSTTEST EXPLANATIONS (CONT.) Question 2 Current FDA-approved biologic therapies for PsA are 1. Five TNFi (adalimumab, certolizumab, etanercept, golimumab, infliximab), one IL12/23i (ustekinumab), one CTLA4 fusion protein (abatacept), one PDE4i (apremilast), and two IL-17i (ixekizumab, secukinumab). 2. Five TNFi (adalimumab, certolizumab, etanercept, golimumab, infliximab), one IL12/23i (ustekinumab), one PDE4i (apremilast), and one IL-17i (secukinumab). 3. Four TNFi (adalimumab, certolizumab, etanercept, infliximab), one IL12/23i (ustekinumab), one CTLA4 fusion protein (abatacept), one PDE4i (apremilast), and one IL-17i (secukinumab). 4. Five TNFi (adalimumab, certolizumab etanercept, golimumab, infliximab), one IL12/23i (ustekinumab), one CTLA4 fusion protein (abatacept), one PDE4i (apremilast), and one IL-17i (secukinumab). Correct Answer: 1. Explanation: Currently nine biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and one Jak2/3i (tofacitinib, a synthetic small molecule) have been approved. An IL-17i (ixekizumab) has recently been approved for psoriatic arthritis in addition to psoriasis; secukinumab was the first IL-17i approved for psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. An additional IL-17i (brodalumab) has been approved for psoriasis; however, its use has been limited due to concerns about an increased risk of suicide in patients who have used this drug. An IL23i (guselkumab) has also been approved for psoriasis but is not yet approved for psoriatic arthritis. Latest FDA approvals and indications may be found at 4
5 PRETEST/POSTTEST EXPLANATIONS (CONT.) Question 3 Out of those approved for psoriatic arthritis, which biologic DMARD is least effective in psoriasis? Choose from the list below. 1. Adalimumab 2. Golimumab 3. Infliximab 4. Secukinumab 5. Ustekinumab Correct Answer: 2. Explanation: Three TNFi are approved for psoriasis adalimumab, infliximab, and etanercept. Golimumab (subcutaneous and IV) is approved only for PsA due to poor skin response in trials. Efficacy of golimumab for psoriasis is PASI-75 in 40% at week 14. Ustekinumab trials show great response in psoriasis, and the same is true for secukinumab, adalimumab, and infliximab, which are FDA approved for psoriasis.

6 PRETEST/POSTTEST EXPLANATIONS (CONT.) Question 4 Which of the following dialogues best represents shared decision-making in medicine? 1. Clinician: This drug can clear your PsA in 4 months; therefore, I m going to prescribe it for you. Patient: Okay. 2. Clinician: What have you heard about oral medicines to treat PsA? Patient: I heard drug X is great. My cousin uses it and loves it. I will have drug X. Clinician: Okay. This is one of the recommended drugs. I m writing the prescription. 3. Clinician: Mr. Jones, because most people are afraid of injections, I m going to assume you are the same way. So why don t we do this oral drug? Patient: Okay. 4. Clinician: Based on the studies, this oral medication typically clears PsA in 25% of patients after 4 months, but it can cause an upset stomach in 2% of the patients. I would recommend this medication, because your PsA is similar to those who have responded to the medicine from our experience. What are your thoughts? Patient: I already have issues with an upset stomach. Can you tell me more about that side effect of the drug? Clinician: I m happy to talk about that in more detail. Correct Answer: 4. Explanation: Both the provider and patient actively participate in shared decision-making. The provider shares facts about treatment, benefits, harms, convenience, and costs. The patient shares values and preferences about treatment attributes. A decision is mutually agreed upon. In this question, D is the best choice, because the clinician is sharing benefits and harms about an oral medication and asks the patient about his/her preferences. The patient expresses his concerns, and the dialogue continues. Elwyn G, Frosch D, Thomson R, et al. Shared decision making: a model for clinical practice. J Gen Intern Med. 2012;27(10): ;27(10):
7 PRETEST/POSTTEST EXPLANATIONS (CONT.) Question 5 What are the essential elements of patient-provider shared decision making? 1. Benefit talk, harms talk, cost talk 2. Choice talk, option talk, decision talk 3. Cognition talk, adherence talk, assessment talk 4. Value talk, preference talk, cost talk Correct Answer: 2. Explanation: The essential elements of shared decision-making are choice talk, option talk, and decision talk or COD. Choice talk refers to ensuring that patients know that reasonable options are available. Option talk is having clinicians provide more detailed information about options, including their benefits, harms, convenience, and cost. Decision talk refers to consideration of patient preferences and deciding what is best through interactive communication between the clinician and the patient. Elwyn G, Frosch D, Thomson R, et al.

8 KEY REFERENCES EULAR Recommendations for CVD Risk Management in Pts With RA and Other Joint Disorders: 2015/2016 Update Overarching Principles a. Clinicians should be aware of the higher risk for CVD in patients with RA compared with the general population; this may also apply to AS and PsA b. The rheumatologist is responsible for CVD risk management in patients with RA and IJD c. The use of NSAIDs and corticosteroids should be in accordance with treatment-specific recommendations from EULAR and ASAS Recommendations Level of evidence Strength of recommendation 1 Disease activity should be controlled optimally in order to lower CVD risk in all patients with RA, AS, or PsA 2b-3 B 9.1 (1.3) CVD risk assessment is recommended for all patients with RA, AS, or PsA at least once every 5 years and should be reconsidered following major changes in antirheumatic therapy CVD risk estimation for patients with RA, AS, or PsA should be preformed according to national guidelines and the SCORE CVD risk prediction model should be used if no national guideline is available TC and HDLc should be used in CVD risk assessment in RA, AS, and lipids should ideally be measured when disease activity is stable or in remission. Non-fasting lipids measurements are also perfectly acceptable Bottom Line: Be Aware do your best to communicate and recommend pt F/U with their other doctors (document) EULAR=European League Against Rheumatism. CVD=cardiovascular disease. Pts=patients. RA=rheumatoid arthritis. AS=ankylosing spondylitis. PsA=psoriatic arthritis. IJD=inflammatory joint diseases. NSAIDs=nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.
