Contemplate more stringent goals in PsA

LECTURE SERIES WITH DR. ALEXIS OGDIE

Examine the importance of achieving remission or low disease activity in PsA

Join Dr. Alexis Ogdie as she examines how more stringent outcome goals and shared decision-making between a doctor and patient can have an impact on a patient’s quality of life.

Striving for and achieving stringent disease outcome goals

Studies have shown that patients who achieve more stringent outcome goals, such as MDA and cDAPSA remission, are more likely to experience1,2:

GRAPPA and OMERACT guidelines recommend setting goals to achieve remission or low disease activity, with regular monitoring and assessment, for optimal patient outcomes in PsA.4,5

Does the mechanism of disease contribute to setting outcome goals?

Learn more about the mechanisms of disease in PsA to help inform disease management decisions and setting higher outcome goals.
