Treat-to-target recommendations provide physicians a useful strategy to reduce the probability of disease progression and in general to manage PsA patients. However, it could be difficult to apply in real life, since PsA is a very heterogeneous disease with different manifestations to be treated. In fact, depending on the patient’s expectation, some aspects of the disease could be prominent or not, beyond the mere achievement of the target of remission or low-disease activity. In this context, the concept of a “target to treat” strategy should be taken in to account.

Abstract

Treat-to-target recommendations provide physicians a useful strategy to reduce the probability of disease progression and in general to manage PsA patients. However, it could be difficult to apply in real life, since PsA is a very heterogeneous disease with different manifestations to be treated. In fact, depending on the patient’s expectation, some aspects of the disease could be prominent or not, beyond the mere achievement of the target of remission or low-disease activity. In this context, the concept of a “target to treat” strategy should be taken in to account.
