Activity Details

Accredited By

Target Audience

This activity was developed for rheumatologists, dermatologists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health care providers who manage patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Learning Objectives

• Utilize validated tools to assess psoriatic arthritis (PsA) disease burden and response to treatment
• Summarize the clinical pharmacology, including mechanism of action, as well as safety and efficacy, of evidence-based medications for PsA
• Utilize a treat-to-target approach with individualized evidence-based therapy to reduce symptom burden and, when possible, achieve disease remission/low disease activity
• Identify and implement treatment of comorbidities of PsA in collaboration with the primary care provider

Activity Description

Philip J. Mease, MD, and Alexis R. Ogdie-Beatty, MD, MSCE, review the pathogenesis and a wide spectrum of clinical features, manifestations, and comorbidities of psoriatic arthritis; talk about classification criteria for PsA and different patient-reported and provider-assessed outcome measures; and discuss treatment recommendations and strategies, as well as various types of current and emerging therapies. Finally, they highlight some of the key issues and challenges of the management of PsA through reviewing patient case studies.

Statement of Educational Need

According to the Rochester Epidemiology Project, 250,000 persons in the United States have psoriatic arthritis (PsA). An estimated 80% of patients with PsA suffer progressive joint damage despite the availability of safe, effective medications approved for PsA. As a consequence, patients with PsA generally experience impaired activities of daily living and patient function, health-related quality of life, and a substantial socioeconomic burden. Patients with PsA often experience difficulty bending down to pick up clothes from the floor (26%), dressing (15%), getting in and out of the car (15%), or bathing (12%). Fatigue and psychological morbidity are common as well. Despite experiencing substantial morbidity, many individuals with PsA view available treatment options as equally or more burdensome than the disease itself. Extra-articular complications are common and may affect lungs, heart, skin, eyes, and other organs; anemia is common as well.

The pharmacologic treatment of patients with PsA has evolved over the past decade. Several categories of medications are now approved, including oral small molecules, tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, interleukin-12/23 inhibitor, interleukin-17 inhibitors, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 immunoglobulin, and Janus kinase inhibitor. Within the past 2 years alone, abatacept, ixekizumab, and tofacitinib have been approved for PsA based on safety and efficacy results in phase 3 clinical trials.

Upon receiving a patient with possible PsA in referral, the specialist is tasked with confirming the diagnosis, followed by initiation of evidence-based therapy to induce remission and relieve patient morbidity. Doing so is often complicated by gaps in knowledge and competence.

Target Audience

The intended audience for this activity is pulmonologists and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with influenza.

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Utilize evidence-based guidelines to diagnose influenza to improve earlier detection and treatment.
• Compare currently available treatments for influenza based on their efficacy, effect on duration of virus, as well as the ability to improve outcomes for patients at normal and high risk for complications.
• Implement best practices for prophylaxis, prevention, and treatment of influenza to reduce the duration of illness, viral shedding, and complications associated with the disease.

Activity Description

Although the impact of influenza varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that influenza has resulted in 9.2 million to 35.6 million illnesses, 140,000 to 710,000 hospitalizations, and 12,000 to 56,000 deaths annually since 2010. Antiviral agents with different targets and mechanisms of action provide multiple therapeutic options and have promise of improving treatment effectiveness. In this continuing education activity, experts examine how to effectively diagnose and treat patients with influenza.
