Abstracts
GRAPPA develops future thought leaders by hosting an annual Trainee Symposium. Abstracts from around the world are submitted and the best are chosen to present.
The trainee symposium promotes the dissemination and discussion of research related to dermatology and rheumatology clinical, translational, and basic science proposals.
The 2022 GRAPPA Annual Meeting and Trainee Symposium was held in Brooklyn, New York, USA, July 14-16 and the following posters were presented.
Adherence to GRAPPA 2015 Treatment Recommendations According to the Presence of Comorbidities in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis
Comorbidities are common in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The GRAPPA (Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis) guidelines strengthen the choice of treatments according to them…

Biologic and Targeted Synthetic Therapies in Psoriatic Arthritis and the Risk of Opportunistic Infections
Biologic and targeted synthetic therapies have changed the management of psoriatic arthritis over the past decades. However, these treatments might result in immunosuppression and could increase risk for opportunistic infections. Here, we present a meta-analysis on the incidence of opportunistic infections among individuals with psoriatic arthritis treated…
Challenges in the Management of Psoriatic Arthritis in Latin America: a systematic review
Background. In 2020, the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) recommendations for management of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) were published (1). It aimed to adapt GRAPPA and EULAR recommendations to resource-poor settings. At that time, the paucity or absence…

Recent studies have suggested that knowledge of the peripheral T cell profile may help in treatment…
Early achievement of minimal disease activity in psoriatic arthritis is associated with long-term improvements in quality of life
Background. In a previous study we have shown that achieving minimal disease activity (MDA) in the first year after diagnosis is associated with better quality…
Evaluation of liver fibrosis using transient elastography in patients with psoriasis treated with methotrexate
BACKGROUND: Methotrexate is a widely used drug in the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis…
Immunoglobulins are upregulated in psoriatic arthritis skin lesions but not in psoriasis skin lesions
Background
Up to 30% of patients with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis (PsA). A previous proteomic analysis chall…
Incidence of COVID-19 hospitalization in patients with psoriasis taking systemic immunomodulators
Background. Current research on COVID-19-related outcomes in patients with psoriasis, particularly regarding influence of treatments, is subject to lack of comparator group, selection bias, confounding, and insufficient statistical power.[1]…
