ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the minimal important change (MIC) and meaningful change value (MCV) of the Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) and the effect size (ES) of DAPSA.

METHODS:

This was a retrospective cohort study, recruiting 106 patients who agreed to participate in the research from the Department of Dermatology, Xiangya Hospital, between November 1, 2019, and April 1, 2023. An anchor-based method using linear regression analyses was used to determine the MICs and MCVs of the DAPSA. The anchor question assessed whether the patient's well-being had changed since their previous visit, employing a 5-point Likert scale that ranged from "much improved" to "much deteriorated."

RESULTS:

The overall MIC value was 8.4 (95% CI 0.01-16.75). The MIC improvement was 9.5 (95% CI 0.89-18.14) and MIC deterioration was 1.1 (95% CI -9.81 to 12.05). The overall MCV was 10.5 (95% CI 4.34-16.72). MCV improvement was 11.4 (95% CI 5.95-16.95) and MCV deterioration was 1.1 (95% CI -9.81 to 12.05). The ES was 0.6.

CONCLUSION:

A change in DAPSA of 8.4 is indicative of an MIC, offering physicians an additional means to contextualize the patient's perception of disease activity during treatment, and a change in DAPSA of 10.5 is likely to be regarded as MCV. These values can enhance the utility of DAPSA in psoriatic arthritis clinical trials.
