Novel x-ray score distinguishes psoriatic arthritis from osteoarthritis of the hand


 

REPORTING FROM RHEUMATOLOGY 2018


The results of this single-center study show that the novel radiologic scoring system of hand radiographs was effective at differentiating patients with PsA from nodal OA.

“The ambition is to make this usable by nonradiologists,” Dr. Bahadur said. A multicenter trial would be the next step to look at the use of the scoring system.

Dr. Bahadur had no conflicts of interest to disclose.
