PsARC

PsARC is the acronym for Psoriatic Arthritis Response Criteria. The index comprises specific criteria that are used to assess the success of treatment in patients with psoriatic arthritis.

The PsA response criteria cover various aspects of the disease, including reduction in joint pain and swelling, improvement in physical function and quality of life, and reduction in inflammatory markers in the blood. The assessment is usually based on standardized questionnaires, clinical examinations and laboratory values.

A positive PsA response means that the patient is responding to treatment and an improvement in symptoms and disease progression can be observed. The PsA response criteria help physicians to monitor the success of a therapy and make adjustments if necessary to achieve the best possible results for the patient.
