What DAPSA score indicates remission?

DAPSA ≤4 = remission; ≤14 = low disease activity; 15-28 = moderate; >28 = high. EULAR/GRAPPA recommends DAPSA as the primary treat-to-target index for peripheral PsA.

How is DAPSA calculated?

DAPSA = tender joint count (68 joints) + swollen joint count (66 joints) + pain VAS (0-10) + patient global VAS (0-10) + CRP (mg/dL). Peripheral arthritis only; skin and axial disease require separate indices.

What about axial and skin disease in PsA?

DAPSA covers peripheral arthritis only. Axial disease is assessed with BASDAI/ASDAS. Skin disease uses PASI or BSA. Comprehensive PsA assessment requires all three domains.

DAPSA Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis Score

Calculate DAPSA (Disease Activity index for PSoriatic Arthritis) for peripheral psoriatic arthritis. Scores tender/swollen joint counts, patient global, pain, and CRP to guide treat-to-target management.
