To test shortened versions of the psoriatic arthritis (PsA) composite measures for use in routine clinical practice.
Clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were assessed in patients with PsA at 3 consecutive follow-up visits in a UK multicenter observational study. Shortened versions of the Composite Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Index (CPDAI) and Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) Composite Exercise (GRACE) measures were developed using PROMs and tested against the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28), composite Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis, and Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data (RAPID3). Discrimination between disease states and responsiveness were tested with the -score, standardized response mean (SRM), and effect size (ES). Data were presented to members at the GRAPPA 2020 annual meeting and members voted on the recommended composite routine practice.
The SRM for the GRACE, 3 visual analog scale (VAS), and 4VAS were 0.67, 0.77, and 0.63, respectively, and for CPDAI and shortened CPDAI (sCPDAI) were 0.54 and 0.55, respectively. Shortened versions of the GRACE increased the -score from 7.8 to 8.7 (3VAS) and 9.0 (4VAS), but reduced the -score in the CPDAI/sCPDAI from 6.8 and 6.1. The 3VAS and 4VAS had superior performance characteristics to the sCPDAI, DAS28, Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis, and RAPID3 in all tests. Of the members, 60% agreed that the VAS scales contained enough information to assess disease and response to treatment, 53% recommended the 4VAS for use in routine care, and 26% the 3VAS, while leaving 21% undecided.
Shortening the GRACE to VAS scores alone enhances the ability to detect status and responsiveness and has the best performance characteristics of the tested composite measures. GRAPPA members recommend further testing of the 3VAS and 4VAS in observational and trial datasets.
测试用于常规临床实践的银屑病关节炎(PsA)综合指标的简化版本。
在一项英国多中心观察性研究中,对PsA患者在连续3次随访时的临床和患者报告结局指标(PROMs)进行评估。使用PROMs制定了银屑病关节炎综合疾病活动指数(CPDAI)和银屑病与银屑病关节炎研究与评估小组(GRAPPA)综合运动(GRACE)指标的简化版本,并与28个关节疾病活动评分(DAS28)、银屑病关节炎综合疾病活动度以及患者指数数据常规评估(RAPID3)进行对比测试。通过Z评分、标准化反应均值(SRM)和效应量(ES)来测试疾病状态之间的区分度和反应性。数据在GRAPPA 2020年会上展示给成员,成员们对推荐的综合常规实践进行投票。
GRACE、3个视觉模拟量表(VAS)和4个VAS的SRM分别为0.67、0.77和0.63,CPDAI和简化CPDAI(sCPDAI)的SRM分别为0.54和0.55。GRACE的简化版本将Z评分从7.8提高到8.7(3个VAS)和9.0(4个VAS),但CPDAI/sCPDAI的Z评分从6.8和6.1降低。在所有测试中,3个VAS和4个VAS的性能特征优于sCPDAI、DAS28、银屑病关节炎疾病活动度和RAPID3。在成员中,60%同意VAS量表包含足够信息来评估疾病和治疗反应,53%推荐4个VAS用于常规护理,26%推荐3个VAS,21%未作决定。
仅将GRACE缩短为VAS评分可增强检测疾病状态和反应性的能力,并且在所测试的综合指标中具有最佳性能特征。GRAPPA成员建议在观察性和试验数据集中对3个VAS和4个VAS进行进一步测试。
