25
Q

what is systemic onset JIA (Stills)

A

presents with serious symptoms that resemble leukemia or a horrible infection

26
Q

what is RF+ polyarticular onset JIA

A

adult RA presenting in kids
typically a negative prognosis for joints
tends to occur in slightly older kids

27
Q

what is RF- polyarticular onset JIA

A

children are younger than in RF+ and have a better prognosis for joints

28
Q

what is HLA-B27+ oligoarticular onset JIA

A

ankylosing spondylitis
more common in males around 9-13
peripheral arthritis initially, with back complaints much later

29
Q

how often does PsA accompany psoriasis?

A

25% of the time

30
Q

how often do patients have psoriasis prior to being diagnoses with PsA?

A

70%

31
Q

how often does PsA precede a diagnosis of psoriasis?

A

15%

other 15% coincident onset or undiagnosed psoriasis

32
Q

CASPAR criteria for PsA

A

> 3 points, 99% spec/92% sens

  • 2 pts psoriasis
  • 1 pt past psoriasis or FH
  • 1 pt psoriatic nail changes
  • 1 pt RF-
  • 1 pt dactylitis
  • 1 pt radiographic juxtaarticular new bone
33
Q

where is psoriasis most common

A

scalp, retroaural, EACs
extensor extremities
umbilicus, gluteal cleft/perianal

34
Q

racial predilection of PsA

A

whites 2:1

35
Q

sex of PsA patients?

A

equal overall

males: axial (3:1) and classical (vide infra)
females: RA-like

36
Q

age of onset of psoriasis in PsA

A

mid-teens-20s

37
Q

age of onset of joint complaints in PsA if there was prior skin involvement

A

a decade after skin involvement

38
Q

genetic influences on PsA

A

35-70% monozygotic concordance
12-20% dizygotic concordance
1st degree relatives of PsA 27-50x greater risk

39
Q

specific genes found in PsA

A

HLA-B27 + in only axial pts (50%)

HLA-B38 and B39 in general PsA

40
Q

categories of PsA (not mutually exclusive)

A
asymmetric, oligoarticular (15-20%)
symmetric, polyarticular (50-60%)
"classical" (2-5%)
isolated axial (2-5%)
arthritis mutilans (5%)
41
Q

asymmetric, oligoarticular PsA

A

associated with dactylitis / ray involvement

42
Q

symmetric, polyarticular PsA

A
RA like
usually seronegative (95% of the time)
43
Q

classical PsA

A

uncommon
predominant DIP involvement
dactylitis present
nail involvement

44
Q

isolated axial PsA

A

only SI joint involvement (asymmetric)
+/- spinal involvement
syndesmophytes large /nonmarginal

45
Q

what are syndesmophytes

A

vertical bony spurs

like dripping wax down the spine?

46
Q

arthritis mutilans

A

very dysmorphic hands
very little bone growth
can pull fingers out to a normal length, but they shrink back

47
Q

what is enthesitis

A

inflammation of a tendon/ligament insertion into bone

48
Q

what is dactylitis

A

sausage fingers/toes

Q

treatment of PsA

A
NSAIDs
intraarticular steroids
methotrexate
leflunomide
apremilast
TNFa inhib
anti-IL17
anti-IL12/23
JAK inhibitor
costim blockade
52
Q

use of methotrexate in PsA

A
oral, 7.5-25 mg once a week
subQ same dosage; better bioavailability
take w 1 mg folic acid daily
can help both skin and joints
not helpful for spine or nails

A

pyrimidine antagonist
20 mg qd
side effects similar to mtx
less helpful for skin than mtx

54
Q

use of apremilast in PsA

A

pde4 inhibitor
30 mg bid
approved for skin and joints
excellent safety profile

55
Q

use of TNFa inhibitors in PsA

A

4 subQ doses per week
1 IV dose every 4-8 weeks
more risky/ greater payoff
