Minimal disease activity (MDA) criteria are fulfilled when 5/7 of the following criteria were satisfied: tender joint count ≤ 1; swollen joint count ≤ 1; Psoriasis Area and Severity Index ≤ 1 or body surface area ≤ 3; patient pain visual analog scale (VAS) score ≤ 15 mm; patient global disease activity VAS score of ≤ 20 … Address correspondence to Dr. Lubrano; E-mail: enniolubrano{at}hotmail.com</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
