Childhood Psoriasis and Arthritis Risk
A recent study published in the Journal of Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation found that children with psoriasis are at greater risk of developing juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) if they have elevated body mass index (BMI) or nail psoriasis.
These factors may serve as important clinical indicators for early screening and intervention in at-risk pediatric patients. Juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) affects around 1–7% of the total juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) population.
One of the main criteria for diagnosing JPsA is the correlation between psoriasis and arthritis.
PsA is a progressive condition that causes joint deterioration and bone erosion, even in youngsters.
Early detection of PsA may lead to better results. Author's summary: Psoriasis in children increases arthritis risk.
