P175 The Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease 12-item questionnaire can replace other patient-reported outcome measures to facilitate disease monitoring in clinical practice

Abstract Background/Aims The Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease 12-item questionnaire (PsAID-12) was developed and validated to improve assessment of disease activity from the patient’s perspective. Several patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are relevant to PsA but completing several questionnaires at each clinic visit creates a time and administrative burden for patients and clinicians. Furthermore, the Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) for assessing disease activity in PsA requires the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) to be collected; however, a Canadian study found that PsAID-12 can replace HAQ in the MDA using a cut-off of < 3.7. A previous study also found sex-specific differences in PsAID-12 scores, with scores being higher in females. The aim of this study was to assess whether PsAID-12 correlates well and could replace other PROMs in clinical practice, and to validate previously published findings related to the use of PsAID-12 instead of HAQ in determining MDA, and sex-specific differences in PsAID-12 scores. Methods Clinical data were collected from 75 consecutive patients attending a PsA clinic in a tertiary centre at their first review in 2023. Clinical characteristics, PROMs, examination findings, and measures of disease activity were recorded. Correlation with PsAID-12 was assessed using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Sex-specific differences were assessed using Mann-Whitney U tests. Bonferroni correction was used to adjust for multiple comparisons. Results PsAID-12 scores were significantly correlated with all PROMs, and with composite measures of disease activity (DAPSA, MDA), but not with clinical measures of disease activity (TJC, SJC, PASI, BSA), or acute-phase reactants (CRP, ESR). PsAID-12 scores were not affected by age or disease duration. There was no sex-dependent difference in PsAID-12 scores; however, female patients had significantly higher HAQ and HAD scores. MDA scores using PsAID-12 correlated significantly with MDA scores using HAQ. Conclusion PsAID-12 is a suitable replacement for other PROMs in clinical practice, and for HAQ when determining MDA status to reduce the time and administrative burden on patients and clinicians, and to facilitate monitoring of disease activity in patients with PsA regardless of age or disease duration. Contrary to previous studies, there were no sex-dependent differences in PsAID-12 scores. Disclosure R.M. Hum: None. K. Hasanein: None. L.T. Hao: None. J.C. Williams: None. A. Cheung: None. A.
