Evaluation of the Role of Inflammatory and Structural Ultrasound Abnormalities by Explaining the Perspective of Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis (EchoPRO)

Monocentric Cross-sectional Study Assessing the Role of Inflammatory and Structural Ultrasound Abnormalities by Explaining the Perspective of Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis

The perspective of the patient is defined by the patient reported outcomes (PROs). This is a main part of the care in psoriatic arthritis. However , PROs can be influenced by environmental parameters.

Ultrasound represents an objective instrument in the context of psoriatic rheumatism (RhPso) care because it measures inflammatory activity and structural damage at joint and periarticular level.

it is the first study to evaluate the role of inflammatory and structural ultrasound abnormalities as a cause of modification of the patient's perspective measured by PROs in patients with RhPso.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

It is an interventional study. Patients will be enrolled in the rheumatology department Of Ambroise Paré Hospital in collaboration with the dermatology departments of the hospital.

All patients with psoriatic arthritis, beginner or established, or patients with psoriasis suspecting the beginning of rheumatism who will consult or are already followed in those departments and give their approval for the study will undergo

  • a clinical rheumatologic assessment (number of painful or swollen joints, enthesitic pain, inflammatory spinal pain)
  • an ultrasound assessment (peripheral joints, tendon and enthesitic structures and nails).

Those assessment will be made the same day of their consult in one those departments. They will be asked to complete questionnaires (PROs) on the overall assessment of the disease, pain, quality of life, tiredness, physical limitation / disability and the impact of the disease.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of patient global assessment (PGA) in patients with Psoriatic Arthritis
Time Frame: 1 day

The study of patient global assessment will permit to understand the impact of inflammation and external structural damage measured by ultrasound in patients with psoriatic arthritis (newly diagnosed or with confirmed diagnosis).

At enrollment visit (only visit) of patient PGA will be assessed with a digital scale from 0 to 10

1 day
