Discrepancy in Metabolic Syndrome between Psoriatic Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis: a Direct Comparison of Two Cohorts in One Center.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to investigate the discrepancy in metabolic syndrome (MS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) between patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and those with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods

Patients with PsA and RA were enrolled between 1 December 2018 and 31 December 2021. Data on their demographics, height, weight, waist circumference, clinical and laboratory data, and comorbidities were collected. Disease activities of patients with RA and PsA were assessed. Prevalence was estimated by dividing cases (such as MS and CVD) of PsA and RA individually. Propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting were used for further validation.

Results

Consecutively, 197 patients with PsA and 279 patients with RA were enrolled in this stu
