Abstract

Background:
Evidence demonstrates sex differences in disease presentation, physical function, treatment response and drug retention in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Data from observational cohort studies indicate female sex is associated with reduced effectiveness of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis). Although, conflicting results are also reported3,4. We sought to validate prior studies using data from a large multinational cohort based on real-life clinical practice.
