First PsJIA criteria
Vancouver criteria
Vancouver vs PsJIA criteria
Vancouver criteria includes Psoriatic-like rash as a minor criterion and does not include exclusion criteria
Adult vs PsJIA
Adult: Most patients have had psoriasis for an average of 5-10 yrs prior to onset of joint disease; Pedia: ~50% present initially with joint disease
T/F Every child with psoriasis and arthritis has psoriatic arthritis
F
Age at onset of PsJIA
Bimodal: Preschool years (2-3y) then middle to late childhood (adolescence)
PsJIA: Girls vs boys
Girls
T/F Synovial biopsy is generally helpful as a diagnostic tool for PsJIA
F
Synovio-entheseal complex is a pathology associated with what chronic inflammatory joint disease
Psoriatic arthritis
___% of patients with childhood-onset psoriasis, with or without PsJIA have a family history of psoriasis
> 50
T/F Environmental contributions play a pivotal role in development of psoriasis and PsA
T, limited concordance in monozygotic twins
Environmental triggers identified for psoriasis and PsA
Infections
Trauma
Obesity
Cigarette smoking
Emotional stress
Bacteria that has elicited the most attention in terms of triggering psoriasis and potentially PsA
Streptococcus
Younger vs older children with PsJIA: More commonly female, ANA (+), affected by dactylitis, and prone to chronic asymptomatic uveitis
Younger (before 4-6y)
PsJIA, but not other subtypes of JIA, is linked genetically to this polymorphism that is also associated with PsA in adults
Single nucleotide polymorphism in the IL-23 receptor
Clinical differences between oligoarticular JIA and PsJIA
1) Tendency to develop dactylitis
2) To involve wrists and small joints of hands and feet
3) And to progress to polyarticular disease in the absence of effective therapy
Younger vs older children with PsJIA: Gender ratio closer to 1:1
Older
Younger vs older children with PsJIA: Tendency to enthesitis
Older
Younger vs older children with PsJIA: Tendency to axial disease
Older
T/F Arthritis in PsJIA begins as polyarthritis in a majority of patients
F, oligo
MC joint affected in PsJIA
Knee followed by the ankle
PsJIA: Symmetrical vs asymmetrical joint distribution
Asymmetrical
