The Toronto Psoriatic Arthritis Screening questionnaire (ToPAS) was developed as a tool to screen for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis as well as in the general population. Thus, it differs from PsA-specific screening tools and may be used to screen for PsA in epidemiologic and family investigations. In a presentation at the 2009 annual meeting of GRAPPA (Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis) in Stockholm, Sweden, the authors described the development, testing, and validation of the ToPAS tool. Results of a comparison of the ToPAS questionnaire with the Psoriatic Arthritis Screening and Evaluation (PASE) questionnaire were also presented. Modification and further validation of the ToPAS are under way.
多伦多银屑病关节炎筛查问卷(ToPAS)是作为一种工具开发的,用于在银屑病患者以及普通人群中筛查银屑病关节炎(PsA)。因此,它与特定的 PsA 筛查工具不同,可用于在流行病学和家族研究中筛查 PsA。在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行的 2009 年 GRAPPA(银屑病和银屑病关节炎研究与评估组)年会上,作者介绍了 ToPAS 工具的开发、测试和验证情况。还介绍了 ToPAS 问卷与银屑病关节炎筛查和评估(PASE)问卷的比较结果。正在对 ToPAS 进行修改和进一步验证。
