Patient-Reported and Economic Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis: Results from the National Health and Wellness Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, autoimmune form of arthritis that is associated with a substantial humanistic and economic burden. Potential differences in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and economic outcomes among groups of varying PsA severity and different races/ethnicities have not been well studied.

Methods

This cross-sectional study assessed sociodemographic data, PROs, and economic outcomes for participants with PsA from the National Health and Wellness Survey (2018-2020). Multivariable analyses were used to assess the association of self-reported PsA severity and race/ethnicity with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), work productivity and activity impairment (WPAI), healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), and medical costs.
