Ultrasound in the management of patients with psoriatic arthritis: systematic literature review and novel algorithms for pragmatic use

CONCLUSION: The SLR showed the interests in using ultrasound to objectively evaluate PsA for diagnosis and management. We proposed three practical algorithms to guide its use in the clinical management of patients, from the diagnosis to the assessment of treatment response. Further studies are needed to define remission and to assess ultrasound ability to predict disease severity.PMID:37714552 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.2023-0091
