Khraishi, MD Diamant Thaçi, MD Frank Behrens, MD Robert Northington, PhD Joanne Fuiman, MS Eustratios Bananis, PhD Robert Boggs, PhD Daniel Alvarez, MD DOI: Background Prompt identification and treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis is critical to reducing the risk of joint damage, disability, and comorbidities. Objective We sought to estimate PsA prevalence in patients with plaque psoriasis in 34 dermatology centers in 7 European and North American countries. Methods Consecutive patients were evaluated by dermatologists for plaque psoriasis and subsequently by rheumatologists for PsA. PsA prevalence was estimated primarily based on rheumatologists' assessment of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Results Of 949 patients evaluated, 285 (30%) had PsA (95% confidence interval 27-33) based on rheumatologists assessment. PsA diagnosis changed in 1.2% of patients when diagnostic laboratory tests were added to medical history and physical examination. Of 285 patients given the diagnosis of PsA, 117 (41%) had not been previously given the diagnosis
