About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis" by Daniel J. Wallace, MD, FACP, MACR.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), two types of autoimmune diseases that affect the joints and cause inflammation.

RA is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the joints, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function. It is caused by the bodys immune system mistakenly attacking the lining of the joints, which can lead to joint damage, disability, and deformity if left untreated. RA can also affect other parts of the body, such as the lungs, heart, and eyes.

PsA is a type of arthritis that occurs in people with psoriasis, a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin. PsA can cause joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, as well as skin and nail changes. It is caused by an overactive immune system that attacks healthy cells and tissues, leading to inflammation in the joints and skin.

Both RA and PsA are chronic diseases that can be managed with medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes, but there is no cure for either condition. It is important to see a healthcare provider if you experience joint pain, swelling, or stiffness, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent joint damage and disability.

Learning Objectives Describe the overall management, including diagnostic evaluation and initial treatment, in patients with PsA or RA. Collaborate with the patient using a shared decision-making approach to better understand patient concerns and inform treatment goals and plan. Perform a diagnostic evaluation, including differential diagnosis and assessment of comorbidities, for patients with possible PsA or RA. Individualize evidence-based treatment for treatment-naïve patients with PsA or RA consistent with current guideline recommendations. Consider a holistic management approach in patients with PsA or RA.

Treatment of RA and PsA Core Principles Treatment should be based on shared decision-making between the patient and the health care provider Treatment choices should be individualized and based on factors such as disease activity, prognosis, comorbidities, safety, cost, and availability of medications Treat-to-target should be prioritized, whether that means low disease activity or remission Overall treatment goals and plan should: aim for lowest possible disease activity optimize functional status improve quality of life minimize structural damage avoid/minimize complications from either active disease or medications Aletaha D.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Slide 8-

Rheumatoid Arthritis Most Common Autoimmune Inflammatory Arthritis in Adults Onset is insidious, often beginning with fever, malaise, arthralgias, and weakness before progressing to joint inflammation and swelling Annual incidence is ~40 per 100,000 Prevalence is ~1% in Caucasians but varies between 0.1% (in rural Africans) and ~5% (in Pima, Blackfeet, and Chippewa Indians) Women are affected 2 to 3 times more often than men Can occur at any age Peak onset is between ages 50-75 Smolen JS, et al.

Slide 9-

Rheumatoid Arthritis Classification Criteria: ACR/EULAR 2010 Aletaha D, et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2010;69:1580-1588. A. Joint involvement refers to any swollen or tender joint on examination, which may be confirmed by imaging evidence of synovitis. Distal interphalangeal joints, first carpometacarpal joints and first metatarsophalangeal joints are excluded from assessment. Categories of joint distribution are classified according to the location and number of involved joints, with placement into the highest category possible based on the pattern of joint involvement. B. ‘Large joints’ refers to shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and ankle. C. ‘Small joints’ refers to the metacarpophalangeal joints, proximal interphalangeal joints, second to fifth metatarsophalangeal joints, thumb interphalangeal joints and wrists. D. In this category, at least one of the involved joints must be a small joint; the other joints can include any combination of large and additional small joints, as well as other joints not specifically listed elsewhere (eg, temporomandibular, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, etc). D. Negative refers to international unit (IU) values that are less than or equal to the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the laboratory and assay; low-positive refers to IU values that are higher than the ULN but 3 or less times the ULN for the laboratory and assay; high-positive refers to IU values that are more than 3 times the ULN for the laboratory and assay. When rheumatoid factor (RF) information is only available as positive or negative, a positive result should be scored as low-positive for RF. A Score Of ≥6/10 Is Needed For Definite Classification of A Patient as Having RA

Rheumatoid Arthritis Classification Criteria: ACR/EULAR 2010 (cont.) Aletaha D, et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2010;69:1580-1588. F. Normal/abnormal is determined by local laboratory standards. G. Duration of symptoms refers to patient self-report of the duration of signs or symptoms of synovitis (eg, pain, swelling, tenderness) of joints that are clinically involved at the time of assessment, regardless of treatment status. ACPA, anti-citrullinated protein antibody; CRP, C-reactive protein; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate. A Score of ≥6/10 Is Needed for Definite Classification of a Patient as Having RA

Established RA RA with duration of disease/symptoms of >=6 months or meeting 1987 ACR RA classification criteria Disease activity Low, moderate, or high as per validated scales RA remission A tender joint count, swollen joint count, C-reactive protein level (mg/dl), and patient global assessment of ≤1 each or a Simplified DAS of ≤3.3 Optimal dosing of RA treatments Dosing to achieve a therapeutic target derived from mutual patient-clinician consideration of patient priorities Given for at least 3 months before therapy escalation or switching Singh JA, et al.

Slide 34-

PsA GRAPPA Recommendations: 2015 Overarching Principles Achieve lowest possible level of disease activity in all domains of disease Optimize functional status, improve QoL, and prevent structural damage Assessment requires consideration of all major disease domains, including peripheral arthritis, axial disease, enthesitis, dactylitis, psoriasis, and nail disease The impact of disease on pain, function, QoL, and structural damage should be examined In addition, activity in other potential related conditions and comorbidities should be considered including CVD, uveitis, IBD, obesity, metabolic syndrome, gout, diabetes, liver disease, depression, and anxiety Patient-reported measures with a comprehensive history and physical examination, often supplemented by laboratory tests and imaging techniques, should also be included Therapeutic decisions need to be individualized Ideally, patients should be reviewed promptly Early diagnosis and treatment are likely to be of benefit Coates L, et al. Arthritis Rheumatol. 2016;68:1060-1071.
Slide 35-

PsA EULAR Recommendations: 2015 Update Overarching Principles Treatment should maximize HRQoL through control of symptoms, prevention of structural damage, and normalization of function and social participation Abrogation of inflammation is an important component necessary to achieve these goals Aim should be best care based on a shared decision between patient and rheumatologist, considering efficacy, safety, and costs Because of its heterogeneity and potential severity, multidisciplinary treatment may be required Rheumatologists should primarily care for musculoskeletal manifestations; in the presence of clinically significant skin involvement a rheumatologist and a dermatologist should collaborate in diagnosis and management Extra-articular manifestations, metabolic syndrome, CVD and other comorbidities should also be taken into account Gossec L, et al.

Addressing the Burden of RA and PsA The Key Take-Home Point: A Multidisciplinary Approach Rheumatic diseases are complex systemic illnesses that can affect many aspects of the patient’s life. A collaborative effort between a diverse group of professionals is needed to streamline an effective management strategy. Rheumatologists, psychologists, physician assistants and nurse specialists should collaborate to adopt an individualized, multidisciplinary approach to the care of RA and PsA patients (the latter should include dermatologists as well). The role of the multidisciplinary team is to assess and manage the patient’s symptoms and their effects on physical, psychological, and social functioning. Patients should be encouraged and empowered to take an active role in setting individualized, achievable therapeutic goals and working with their providers to choose an appropriate management plan.
