Factors associated with patient-physician discordance in a prospective cohort of patients with psoriatic arthritis: An Asian perspective.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate factors associated with patient-physician discordance in a multiethnic Asian cohort of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients.

Methods

We used data from a prospective cohort of consecutive patients with PsA fulfilling the Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis, recruited from a single center in Singapore. Sociodemographic, clinical data and patient-reported outcomes were collected using a standardized protocol at baseline, 4 months, 8 months, 1 year, 2 years and 5 years. patient-physician discordance was defined as patient global assessment minus physician global assessment (PGA-PhGA). We evaluated variables associated with patient-physician discordance using generalized linear regression to control for within-subject effect.
