Association between Leeds Dactylitis Index and ultrasonographic features: a multicentre study on psoriatic hand dactylitis.

CONCLUSIONS: We found that high values of LDI are associated with US flexor tenosynovitis and soft tissue oedema in PsA dactylitis. Results suggest a potential role of PIP joint synovitis in the genesis of hand digital swelling and of extra-articular structures alterations in determining the LDI score.
