Abstract
The peripheral spondyloarthritis (pSpA) entity remains poorly defined in comparison with axial SpA and psoriatic arthritis, as the clinical symptoms have low specificity, the biological markers are virtually lacking, and dedicated randomized controlled trials in this specific indication remain scarce. In addition, clinical similarities between pSpA and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have been described, partly explained by a resemblance in the pathophysiology of both entities. Thus, diagnosing pSpA can be challenging because of the overlap with other entities and the absence of a specific test or imaging study that can definitively diagnose the condition.
The aim of this review is to summarize the current understanding of pSpA, its epidemiology, physiopathology, clinical diagnosis, and classification criteria. In addition, we present patient-reported outcomes used in pSpA clinical studies, available evidence on therapies, and future directions.
期刊介绍：
Evidence-based updates of best clinical practice across the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions.
Best Practice & Research: Clinical Rheumatology keeps the clinician or trainee informed of the latest developments and current recommended practice in the rapidly advancing fields of musculoskeletal conditions and science.
The series provides a continuous update of current clinical practice. It is a topical serial publication that covers the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions in a 4-year cycle. Each topic-based issue contains around 200 pages of practical, evidence-based review articles, which integrate the results from the latest original research with current clinical practice and thinking to provide a continuous update.
Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. The review articles seek to address the clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient. The serial is aimed at the physician in both practice and training.
