Abstract
BACKGROUND: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) substantially impacts the management of psoriatic disease.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to generate an interdisciplinary national consensus on recommendations of how PsA should be managed.
METHODS: Based on a systematic literature search, an interdisciplinary expert group identified important domains and went through 3 rounds of a Delphi exercise, followed by a nominal group discussion to generate specific recommendations.
RESULTS: A strong consensus was reached on numerous central messages regarding the impact of PsA, screening procedures, organization of the interaction between dermatologists and rheumatologists, and treatment goals.
CONCLUSION: These recommendations can serve as a template for similar initiatives in other countries. At the same time, they highlight the need to take into account the impact of the respective national health care system. © 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel.
