Abstract
The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 annual meeting was held on July 13 to 15, 2023, in Dublin, Ireland, and was attended by 285 rheumatologists, dermatologists, trainees, patient research partners (PRPs), representatives of patient organizations, and industry partners. The 20th anniversary of GRAPPA was celebrated with a special presentation and archival video. Ahead of the meeting, the PRP Network met, a workshop was held by the International Dermatology Outcome Measures (IDEOM) group, and there was a workshop in which researchers discussed advancing ultrasound use to improve the management of psoriatic disease (PsD). Young-GRAPPA also held a workshop and business meeting. Multiple presentations highlighted important topics currently influencing PsD, including ensuring that patients are included in advancing research, the role of depression in PsD, the use of magnetic resonance imaging for spinal lesions, and animal models of PsD, among others. Debates focused on whether biologics should be used for mild psoriasis, whether methotrexate should remain the first-line treatment for PsD, and whether PsD is really a primary enthesitis driving joint synovitis. Here we provide an overview of the features of the GRAPPA 2023 annual meeting and introduce the manuscripts published together in this supplement as a meeting report.
