In psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ultrasonography (US) plays a growing role in the differential diagnosis and in monitoring treatment response.1 PsA is a heterogeneous disease with different domains and peculiar sites involved.2 Therefore, a dedicated US composite score is needed to monitor disease activity and to identify structural damage progression. A recently published Systematic Literature Review (SLR) identified only two US scores specifically developed for PsA (ie, 5TPD and PsA-Son) and, although these had a good sensitivity to detect inflammation and a good feasibility, they have not been validated in other series.1 3 4 Recently, the Study Group for US of the Italian Society of Rheumatology promoted the Ultrasound in PSoriatic Arthritis TREAtMent (UPSTREAM) study (registered at ClinicalTrial.gov, NCT03330769). UPSTREAM is a multicentre observational prospective cohort study and it represents the first …

银屑病关节炎超声检查：我们应该扫描哪些部位？

在银屑病关节炎 (PsA) 中，超声检查 (US) 在鉴别诊断和监测治疗反应方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。1 PsA 是一种异质性疾病，涉及不同领域和特殊部位。2因此，需要专门的 US 综合评分来监测疾病活动并确定结构损伤进展。最近发表的系统文献综述 (SLR) 仅确定了两种专门针对 PsA 开发的美国评分（即 5TPD 和 PsA-Son），尽管这些评分对检测炎症具有良好的敏感性和良好的可行性，但尚未在其他疾病中得到验证。系列。1 3 4 最近，意大利风湿病学会美国研究小组推广了超声治疗银屑病关节炎 (UPSTREAM) 研究（在 ClinicalTrial.gov 注册，NCT03330769）。UPSTREAM 是一项多中心观察性前瞻性队列研究，它代表了第一个……
