Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) are inflammatory diseases with shared genetic backgrounds and clinical comorbidities. Headache, a common global health issue, affects over 50% of adults and encompasses various types, including migraine, tension-type, and cluster headaches. Migraine, the most prevalent, recurrent, and disabling type, is often associated with other medical conditions such as depression, epilepsy, and psoriasis, but little is known about the relationship between autoimmune disease and the risk of migraine. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to November 2022, enrolling 286 participants, including 216 with PsA, 70 with axSpA, and 87 healthy controls. RESULTS Headache prevalence was significantly higher in the PsA (39.81%) and axSpA (45.71%) patients compared to the healthy controls. The prevalence of migraine without aura was also significantly higher in both the PsA (18.52%) and axSpA (28.57%) groups compared to the healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS These findings underscore the high burden of headache and migraine in PsA and axSpA participants, highlighting the need for improved management and treatment strategies for these patients.

Abstract
Atlantoaxial joint is a possible affected site during rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and, in this work, we evaluated its occurrence and associated characteristics in a "real-life" cohort. By a medical records review study of RA patients longitudinally followed-up, the occurrence of severe atlantoaxial joint involvement was estimated (incidence proportion and incidence rate per 1000 person-years at risk). Regression analyses were also exploited to evaluate possible associated factors. Based on these findings, a prospective recruitment was performed to build a descriptive cross-sectional study in evaluating a subclinical atlantoaxial joint involvement in patients with the same clinical characteristics. Retrospectively, 717 patients (female 56.6%, age 64.7 ± 12.3 years) were studied. The incidence proportion of severe atlantoaxial joint involvement was 2.1% [1.5-2.5], occurring in 15 out of 717 patients, and identified by both MRI and CT scan. Considering over 3091 person-years, an incidence rate of 5.2 × 1000 [2.9-8.3] person-years was estimated. Regression analyses suggested that male gender, a longer disease duration, ACPA positivity and extra-articular manifestations resulted to be significantly associated with a severe atlantoaxial joint involvement. Given these findings, 30 asymptomatic patients were selected according to these clinical characteristics and underwent MRI of cervical spine. To date, almost 50% of these asymptomatic patients showed a subclinical atlantoaxial joint involvement. The occurrence of the severe atlantoaxial joint involvement in RA patients was estimated in a "real-life" setting. Male gender, ACPA positivity, long disease duration, and extra-articular manifestations could be associated with the severe atlantoaxial joint involvement in RA. MRI could provide a useful clinical tool to early evaluate the atlantoaxial joint involvement in RA, also in asymptomatic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Psychosocial factors are recognised as important determinants of pain experience in patients with inflammatory arthritides. Among them, pain catastrophising, a maladaptive cognitive style, observed in patients with anxiety and depressive disorders, garnered specific attention. Here, we evaluated pain catastrophising (PC) and its related domains (Rumination, Magnification, and Helplessness), in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarhtiritis (axSpA) participants, to assess its impact on disease activity. Furthermore, we analysed possible correlations of PC-Scale (PCS) with those psychometric domains which have been already related to catastrophisation in patients with chronic pain. Lastly, we aimed to define the relationship between PCS and the different variables included in the composite indices of disease activity. METHODS A multi-centre, cross-sectional, observational study has been conducted on 135 PsA (age 56 (47-64) years, males/females 40.74/59.26%; Disease Activity in Psoriasic Arthritis (DAPSA) 13.34 (5.21-22.22)) and 71 axSpA (age 49 (37-58) years, males/females 56.34/43.66%; Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Arthritis Activity (BASDAI) 4.17 (2.1-6.3)) participants. Multivariable regressions and correlations were performed to evaluate the relationship between pain catastrophising and both disease activity and patient-reported outcomes. RESULTS The adjusted linear regression model showed a positive association between PCS and DAPSA as well as between PCS and BASDAI; PCS negative impacts on the subjective domains of disease activity scores. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests the role of PC, independently of inflammation, in disease perception and achievement of remission or low disease activity in chronic arthritides.

Abstract
This "real-life" cross-sectional study has been designed to describe disease features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participants affected by cardiometabolic multimorbidity than those without. Our purpose was also the identification of possible associations between these cardiometabolic diseases and RA clinical characteristics. Consecutive RA participants with and without cardiometabolic multimorbidity were assessed and their clinical characteristics were recorded. Participants were grouped and compared by the presence or not of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (defined as ≥ 2 out of 3 cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes). The possible influence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity on RA features of poor prognosis was assessed. The positivity of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies, presence of extra-articular manifestations, lack of clinical remission, and biologic Disease-Modifying anti-Rheumatic Drugs (bDMARDs) failure were considered as RA features of poor prognosis. In the present evaluation, 757 consecutive RA participants were evaluated. Among them, 13.5% showed cardiometabolic multimorbidity. These were older (P < .001) and characterized by a longer disease duration (P = .023). They were more often affected by extra-articular manifestations (P = .029) and frequently displayed smoking habit (P = .003). A lower percentage of these patients was in clinical remission (P = .048), and they showed a more frequent history of bDMARD failure (P < .001). Regression models showed that cardiometabolic multimorbidity was significantly correlated with RA features of disease severity. They were predictors of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies positivity, of extra-articular manifestations, and of lack of clinical remission, in both univariate and multivariate analyses. Cardiometabolic multimorbidity was significantly associated with a history of bDMARD failure. We described disease features of RA participants with cardiometabolic multimorbidity, identifying a possible more difficult to treat subset, which may need a new management approach to achieve the treatment goal.

Abstract
Background: Pulmonary lung involvement is the most common extra-glandular manifestation in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), leading to a worsening of the patient’s prognosis. To date, different studies have assessed the prevalence of pulmonary involvement and interstitial lung disease (ILD) in pSS patients with different results. Methods: We performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis on ILD pooled prevalence in pSS according to the PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. Furthermore, we explored the pooled prevalence of the two main presentations of pSS-ILD, nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). Results: We analysed the pSS-ILD prevalence in 30 studies including 8255 pSS patients. The pSS-ILD pooled prevalence was 23% (95% CI: 16–30). For NSIP, we found a pooled prevalence of 52% (CI 41–64), and for UIP we found a pooled prevalence of 44% (CI: 32–55). Regarding the meta-regression analysis, male gender, DLco value, country, and HRCT seem to contribute to the ILD presence. Conclusions: At least 20% of pSS patients have a comorbid ILD, usually NSIP. Male gender and alteration in DLco value may be considered the most important independent factors supporting an active search of lung complications during the clinical history of pSS patients.

Abstract
A role for COVID19 in "hyperferritinemic syndromes" has been proposed based on its clinical and serological characteristics and its similarities with AOSD. To better understand the molecular pathways responsible of these similarities, we evaluated in the PBMCs of 4 active AOSD patients, 2 COVID19 patients with ARDS, and 2 HCs the expression of genes associated with iron metabolisms, with monocyte/macrophages activation, and finally with NETs formation.

Abstract
Introduction COVID-19 and autoinflammatory diseases, such as Adult-onset Still's Disease (AOSD), are characterized by hyperinflammation, in which it is observed massive production and uncontrolled secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) family is one the most important processes counteracting hyperinflammation inducing tissue repair and homeostasis restoration. Among SPMs, Protectin D1 (PD1) is able to exert antiviral features, at least in animal models. The aim of this study was to compare the transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with AOSD and COVID-19 and to evaluate the role of PD1 on those diseases, especially in modulating macrophages polarization. Methods This study enrolled patients with AOSD, COVID-19, and healthy donors HDs, undergoing clinical assessment and blood sample collection. Next-generation deep sequencing was performed to identify differences in PBMCs transcripts profiles. Plasma levels of PD1 were assessed by commercial ELISA kits. Monocyte-derived macrophages were polarized into M1 and M2 phenotypes. We analyzed the effect of PD1 on macrophages differentiation. At 10 days, macrophages were analyzed for surface expression of subtypes markers by flow cytometry. Cytokines production was measured in supernatants by Bio-Plex Assays. Results In the transcriptomes from AOSD patients and COVID-19 patients, genes involved in inflammation, lipid catabolism, and monocytes activation were specifically dysregulated in AOSD and COVID-19 patients when compared to HDs. Patients affected by COVID-19, hospitalized in intensive care unit (ICU), showed higher levels of PD1 when compared to not-ICU hospitalized patients and HDs (ICU COVID-19 vs not-ICU COVID-19, p= 0.02; HDs vs ICU COVID-19, p= 0.0006). PD1 levels were increased in AOSD patients with SS ≥1 compared to patients with SS=0 (p=0.028) and HDs (p=0.048). In vitro treatment with PD1 of monocytes-derived macrophages from AOSD and COVID-19 patients induced a significant increase of M2 polarization vs control (p<0.05). Furthermore, a significant release of IL-10 and MIP-1β from M2 macrophages was observed when compared to controls (p<0.05). Discussion PD1 is able to induce pro-resolutory programs in both AOSD and COVID-19 increasing M2 polarization and inducing their activity. In particular, PD1-treated M2 macrophages from AOSD and COVID-19 patients increased the production of IL-10 and enhanced homeostatic restoration through MIP-1β production.

Abstract
Background: the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) plays a pivotal role in immune cells regulation. The plasma levels of 2-AG are increased in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and correlate with disease activity. Moreover, in plasmacytoid dendritic cells from SLE patients, 2-AG is able to control the production of type 1 interferon (IFN) through CB2 activation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential role of 2-AG on T lymphocytes from SLE patients. Methods: peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from SLE participants and age- and sex-matched healthy donors (HD) were isolated by Ficoll–Hypaque density-gradient centrifugation. The PBMCs were treated with increasing concentrations of 2-AG, and AM251 and AM630 were used to antagonize CB1 and CB2, respectively. Flow cytometry was used to assess the expression of CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, IFN-ɣ, IL-4, and IL-17A. Results: 2-AG (1 μM) decreased IFN-ɣ expression (p = 0.0005) in the Th1 lymphocytes of SLE patients. 2-AG did not modulate the cytokine expression of any other T lymphocyte population from either SLE or HD. Treatment with both 2-AG and AM630 increased the IFN-ɣ expression in Th1 lymphocytes of SLE patients (p = 0.03). Discussion: 2-AG is able to modulate type 2 IFN production from CD4+ T lymphocytes from SLE patients through CB2 activation.

Abstract
BackgroundUncontrolled systemic inflammation characterizes COVID-19 and autoinflammatory diseases such as adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD). Biosynthesis of pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), i.e. lipoxins (LX), resolvins (Rv), protectins (PD), and maresins (MaR), ensures inflammation shutdown and tissue repair, limiting neutrophils recruitment and stimulating macrophages to remove apoptotic cells. Among protectins, reduction of PD1 was found in the lungs of mice infected with the H5N1 influenza virus and experimental treatment with PD1 resulted in increased animals’ survival (Morita M et al 2013).ObjectivesWe investigated the effects of SPMs in pathogenesis and clinical evolution of AOSD and compared these data with mild and severe COVID-19. Finally, we analyzed the potential role of PD1 in modulating the inflammatory response of macrophages obtained from AOSD patients, COVID-19 patients and healthy donors (HDs).Methods21 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 (10 ICU and 11 hospitalized in medical clinical unit) and 13 patients with AOSD were enrolled. Plasma PD1 levels from patients and controls were analyzed by ELISA, and monocytes-derived macrophages were polarized into M1 and M2 phenotype. We analyzed the effect of PD-1 on macrophages differentiation. At 10 days, macrophages were analyzed for surface expression of subtypes markers by flow cytometry. Cytokines production was measured in supernatants by Bio-Plex Assays. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCS) from 3 AOSD patients, 2 COVID-19 patients and 3 HDs were obtained. Next-generation deep sequencing was then performed to identify the differences in PBMCs transcripts profiles.ResultsAOSD patients with systemic scored (SS) ≥1 showed an increase of PD1 levels compared to AOSD patients with lower systemic score (p=0.04) (Figure 1A). Similarly, plasma levels of PD1 were increased in COVID-19 patients independently from their clinical subsets, compared to HDs (p=0.02). In vitro treatment with PD1 of monocytes-derived macrophages from AOSD and COVID-19 patients induced a significant increase of M2 polarization vs control (p<0.05) (Figure 1B). Furthermore, a significant release of IL-10 and CCL4 from M2 macrophages was observed when compared to control (p<0.05) (Figure 1C). In the transcriptomes from 3 AOSD patients (2 mild and 1 severe), 2 COVID-19 patients (1 mild and 1 ICU) and 2 HDs, we observed that genes involved in inflammation, lipid catabolism and monocytes activation were specifically dysregulated in AOSD and COVID-19 patients when compared to HDs. Among them pla2g15, pla2g12a, pla2g2d, involved in mobilization of SPMs precursors, were significant upregulated in patients compared to HDs (p<.01, |log2FoldChange|>1.2) (Figure 1D). The largest part of the genes involved in inflammation, lipid catabolism, and monocytes activation are less expressed in AOSD patients when compared to COVID19 patients, as reported in Table 1.Table 1.Gene symbolLog2 fold changepAdjusted pCounts COVID19Counts AOSDInflammation-related genesALOX50.980.0240.2116861.618562.92IL13RA11.280.0020.0537154.782938.95RTN30.720.0020.00699948.376045.92SSH21.056,78 E-70.0001618343.868848.67Lipid catabolism genesPLBD11.680.000110.008228051.888671.3CYP4F32.850.000340.0171996.63277.13STS1.530.0100.0361798.5623.9HADHA0.740.000140.009712766.447625.38Monocytes-related genesALDH21.462.48E-101.85E-079186.553340.87CD1632.379,99E-060.001466499.4512870.59MGST11.130.00260.0631385.54631.67RNASE42.480.00010.009286.6615.42Figure 1.ConclusionThe counterbalance by SPMs during inflammation is still a largely unexplored pathway.

Abstract
BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease associated with a significant increased rate of cardiometabolic comorbidities contributing to an increased risk of morbidity and mortality of these patients [1,2]. RA patients with cardiometabolic comorbidities might differ from those without in their clinical presentation and prognosis.ObjectivesThis “real-life” cross-sectional study was designed to describe disease features of RA consecutive participants affected by cardiometabolic comorbidities than those without, among those attending recruiting centres from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. Our purpose was also the identification of possible associations between these diseases and clinical characteristics of patients (i.e. fulfilment of ACR1987 criteria, ACPA positivity, presence of extra-articular manifestations, remission, and bDMARD failure).MethodsConsecutive RA patients were assessed, all fulfilling 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria for RA. We have defined the participant as having such comorbidities if affected by 2 or 3 among high blood pressure (HBP), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and/or dyslipidaemia. The presence of cardiometabolic comorbidities for each participant was verified by reviewing the clinical charts, interview, and extensive medical examinations. Patients with and without cardiometabolic comorbidities were grouped and compared. After that, regression models were built to assess the influence of the presence of cardiometabolic comorbidities on RA features of disease severity.Results757 consecutive RA participants were evaluated [(female 56.6%, age 64.7 ± 12.3 years, median disease duration 6 years (IQR 12)]. Among assessed participants, 13.5% showed cardiometabolic comorbidities. These were older (63.9 ± 13.1 vs 70.4 ± 9.0 years, p<0.001) and characterised by a longer disease duration with 64.7% between 5 and 10 years (p=0.003). They were more often affected by extra-articular manifestations (8.2% vs 17.7%, p=0.029) and frequently displayed smoking habit (36.6% vs 50.0%, p=0.003). A lower percentage of participants with these comorbidities was in remission (15.7% vs 8.5%, p=0.048) and they showed a higher prevalence of history of bDMARD failure (40.4% vs 78.4%, p<0.001).Finally, regression models showed that cardiometabolic comorbidities were significantly correlated with RA features of disease severity. Participants with cardiometabolic comorbidities more frequently fulfilled ACR1987 criteria in both univariate (OR: 1.47, 95%CI: 1.15-1.89, p=0.002) and multivariate analyses (OR: 1.48, 95%CI: 1.15-1.91, p=0.002). These participants had a higher probability of ACPA positivity in both univariate (OR: 1.52, 95%CI: 1.10-2.09, p=0.009) and multivariate analyses (OR: 1.47, 95%CI: 1.06-2.04, p=0.020). Cardiometabolic comorbidities also predicted the presence of extra-articular manifestations in both univariate (OR: 3.26, 95%CI: 1.77-5.89, p<0.001) and multivariate analyses (OR: 2.41, 95%CI: 1.30-4.87, p=0.005). Participants with cardiometabolic comorbidities had a higher probability of previous bDMARD failure in both univariate (OR: 1.73, 95%CI: 1.24-2.43, p<0.001) and multivariate analyses (OR: 7.17, 95%CI: 3.61-14.2, p<0.001). Cardiometabolic comorbidities resulted to be a negative predictor of being in remission in both univariate (OR: 0.53, 95%CI: 0.39-0.97, p=0.041) and multivariate analyses (OR: 0.61, 95%CI: 0.41-0.96, p=0.035).ConclusionWe described disease features of RA participants with cardiometabolic comorbidities, identifying a disease subset characterised by clinical features of disease severity and to be considered as “difficult-to-treat”. Thus, cardiometabolic comorbidities may represent a considerable burden for RA patients requiring an appropriate management which should focus, in addition to cardiovascular risk prediction, on targeting these metabolic components.References[1]England BR, et al.

Abstract
In recent years, different studies have shown in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), the pathogenetic role of multiple cytokines other than tumor necrosis factor-α, such as interleukin-17 (IL-17), and IL-23 and dysfunction of Janus kinase (JAK)-signal family pathway. These molecules also represent the target of recently developed biologic (bDMARDs) and targeted synthetic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (tsDMARDs) currently investigated in several Phase II and III randomized controlled trials (RCTs). This review examines the therapeutic efficacy and safety of most recent developed IL-17, IL-23 and JAK inhibitors and highlights how these new PsA therapies are going to revolutionize the management of PsA in the next few years. Ongoing RCTs of these molecules in PsA are also described. Available literature on new anti-IL-17 and anti-IL-23 agents and JAK inhibitors demonstrates the potential role of these molecules as effective therapeutic strategies across multiple PsA clinical domains, along with an acceptable tolerability and safety profile, thus expanding the treatment options available for PsA patients. Of note, other molecules are under investigation, and among those, potential therapeutic strategies seem to be represented by single antibodies blocking simultaneously two cytokines, the agents inhibiting mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), receptor retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγt), A3 adenosine receptor (A3 AR), and K+ channel voltage channel inhibitors. Remarkable progress has been made in PsA pharmacotherapy, and novel bDMARDs targeting IL17A and tsDMARDs (JAK-inhibitors) represent promising therapies. More clinical trials are needed to better characterize the efficacy and safety profile of these therapeutic agents in PsA treatment.

Abstract
Introduction The performance of seven cardiovascular (CV) risk algorithms is evaluated in a multicentric cohort of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. Performance and calibration of traditional CV predictors have been compared with the novel paradigm of machine learning (ML). Methods A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from an AS cohort has been performed. The primary outcome was the first CV event. The discriminatory ability of the algorithms was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), which is like the concordance-statistic (c-statistic). Three ML techniques were considered to calculate the CV risk: support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN). Results Of 133 AS patients enrolled, 18 had a CV event. c-statistic scores of 0.71, 0.61, 0.66, 0.68, 0.66, 0.72, and 0.67 were found, respectively, for SCORE, CUORE, FRS, QRISK2, QRISK3, RRS, and ASSIGN. AUC values for the ML algorithms were: 0.70 for SVM, 0.73 for RF, and 0.64 for KNN. Feature analysis showed that C-reactive protein (CRP) has the highest importance, while SBP and hypertension treatment have lower importance. Conclusions All of the evaluated CV risk algorithms exhibit a poor discriminative ability, except for RRS and SCORE, which showed a fair performance. For the first time, we demonstrated that AS patients do not show the traditional ones used by CV scores and that the most important variable is CRP. The present study contributes to a deeper understanding of CV risk in AS, allowing the development of innovative CV risk patient-specific models.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) play a pivotal role in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Despite this, their discontinuation due to inefficacy or adverse events is often observed. The aims of this study are to describe retention rates and treatment trends of anti-TNFα, anti-IL17, and anti-IL12/23R agents in patients with PsA and to identify factors associated with bDMARDs discontinuation in a real-world clinical setting. METHODS A retrospective cohort study based on the analysis of the three Italian prescription cohorts of patients with PsA has been performed. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional-hazards model. RESULTS During the follow up, which lasted 25.5 (12-60) months, 68 patients discontinued a bDMARD: 13 for primary failure, 12 for secondary failure, 15 for adverse events, 5 for remission, 12 because of lost at follow-up, and 11 for other causes. Cox proportional-hazards demonstrated that a shorter disease duration (HR 0.994991, 95% CI 0.9910336-0.9989647, p = 0.014) and first-line bDMARD (HR 0.5090986, 95% CI 0.3073519-0.8432722, p = 0.009) have a protective role on bDMARD retention rate, while the multivariable analysis failed in demonstrating an independent protective role of male sex on drug retention rate (p = 0.083). No significant differences in retention rate have been found regarding biologic drugs, combination therapy or monotherapy, and class of bDMARD (anti-TNFα or anti-pIL12/23R and anti-IL-17). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that a shorter disease duration and treatment with a first-line bDMARD are predictors of bDMARDs retention rate, further highlighting the importance of early diagnosis of PsA. Key Points • No significant difference in retention among patients treated with anti-IL17A, anti-IL12/23R, and anti-TNFα agents has been demonstrated. • A shorter disease duration and first-line bDMARD treatment are associated with persistence in biologic treatment.

Abstract
Diet is a modifiable factor implicated in chronic systemic inflammation, and the mediterranean dietary pattern is considered to be a healthy model in terms of morbidity and mortality. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the adherence to the mediterranean diet in patients with Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) and its impact on disease activity. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a cohort of 211 consecutive PsA patients. We evaluated PsA activity by disease activity index for PSoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) and composite psoriatic disease activity index (CPDAI). The NCEP-ACT III criteria were used to identify subjects with MetS, and in each subject, we evaluated body mass index (BMI). A validated 14-item questionnaire for the assessment of adherence to the mediterranean diet (PREDIMED) was recorded for all the enrolled subjects. Patients showed a median age of 55 (48-62) and disease duration was 76 (36-120) months. 27.01% of patients were classified as having MetS. The median of the mediterranean diet score (MDS) was 7 (6-9). A moderate adherence to mediterranean diet was found in 66.35% of the entire cohort; 15.64% and 18.01% of the patients showed low- and high adherence to the dietary pattern, respectively. We found a negative association between DAPSA and adherence to mediterranean diet (B = - 3.291; 95% CI - 5.884 to - 0.698). DAPSA was positively associated with BMI (B = 0.332; 95% CI 0.047-0.618) and HAQ ( B = 2.176; 95% CI 0.984-3.368). Results from our study evidenced that in PsA patients, higher levels of disease activity as measured by DAPSA correlated with low adherence to mediterranean diet, suggesting potential benefit of antinflammatory properties of this dietary pattern.
