    Domains are shown on the X axis with proportion of studies measuring each domain on the Y axis. The yellow mark designates 2006 PsA core domains. RCT: randomized controlled trials; LOS: longitudinal observational studies; HRQL: health-related quality of life; MD: physician; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; US: ultrasound.

  • Updated 2016 PsA Core Domain Set. MSK disease activity includes peripheral joints, enthesitis, dactylitis, and spine symptoms. Skin activity includes skin and nails. PtGA is defined as patient-reported disease-related health status. The inner circle includes domains recommended for measurement in every RCT and LOS. The middle circle includes domains that are important, but not required in every RCT and LOS. The outer circle contains domains that may be important, but need further study. PsA: psoriatic arthritis; MSK: musculoskeletal; PtGA: patient’s global assessment; RCT: randomized controlled trial; LOS: longitudinal observational studies.

    • ↵* During the second survey, patients and physicians rated the importance of domains proposed after the NGT meeting – emotional well-being was moved out of the core because less than 70% of either physician or patient respondents rated it as at least 8 on a scale from 0–10.

    • ↵** Structural damage was recommended for assessment at least once during the development of a new drug for PsA.
