BACKGROUND
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) substantially impacts the management of psoriatic disease.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to generate an interdisciplinary national consensus on recommendations of how PsA should be managed.
METHODS
Based on a systematic literature search, an interdisciplinary expert group identified important domains and went through 3 rounds of a Delphi exercise, followed by a nominal group discussion to generate specific recommendations.
RESULTS
A strong consensus was reached on numerous central messages regarding the impact of PsA, screening procedures, organization of the interaction between dermatologists and rheumatologists, and treatment goals.
CONCLUSION
These recommendations can serve as a template for similar initiatives in other countries. At the same time, they highlight the need to take into account the impact of the respective national health care system. © 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel.
