Brief Summary:
In this cross-sectional study, it was planned to compare the frequency of subclinical synovitis in the distal interphalangeal joints of the hands in psoriasis patients. 28 patients followed up by the Dermatology Department with a diagnosis of psoriasis and referred to us and 28 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Participants' age, gender, body mass index (BMI), year of psoriasis diagnosis, treatments they received, and comorbid diseases were recorded as demographic information. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) were calculated by a dermatologist.
Tenderness in the distal interphalangeal joints of both hands was evaluated by palpation.
Subsequently, the presence of ultrasonographic synovitis findings of the participants was examined by a physician who was experienced in musculoskeletal ultrasonography and was blind to clinical evaluations. Scoring was done with the EULAR GS / PD joint scoring system and EULAR-OMERACT composite scoring system. The scores of the most affected joint were used in statistical analysis. Comparisons were made between psoriasis and control groups in terms of scores. Relationships between variables in the psoriasis group were examined.
