Key result
Psoriatic arthritis was associated with a significantly higher incidence of osteoarthritis compared to psoriasis alone (adjusted RR 1.68; 95% CI 1.46-1.93) and the general population.
Why the study?
Does psoriatic arthritis increase the risk of incident osteoarthritis compared to psoriasis alone or the general population?
Cohort (n=61,047)
Does psoriatic arthritis increase the risk of incident osteoarthritis compared to psoriasis alone or the general population?
Relative Risk: 1.68 (95% CI 1.46–1.93)
Patients with psoriatic arthritis have a significantly higher risk of being diagnosed with osteoarthritis compared to those with psoriasis alone or the general population.
May inform osteoarthritis risk stratification in psoriatic arthritis; leaves open causality and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.

Coleman et al. (1972) conducted a cohort in Psoriatic arthritis (n=61,047). Psoriatic arthritis vs. Psoriasis and general population cohorts was evaluated on Incidence of osteoarthritis (RRadj 1.68, 95% CI 1.46-1.93). Psoriatic arthritis was associated with a significantly higher incidence of osteoarthritis compared to psoriasis alone (adjusted RR 1.68; 95% CI 1.46-1.93) and the general population.
