Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

The Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Clinics Multicenter Advancement Network (PPACMAN) was established to optimize the clinical care of patients with psoriatic disease through multidisciplinary collaboration, education, and innovative research. This article is a report of the 2018 PPACMAN Annual Meeting held in New York City, on December 8, 2018. At this meeting, attendees discussed the benefits and challenges of combined dermatology/rheumatology clinics and PPACMAN ongoing project updates. In addition, collaborators participated in breakout sessions and plenary voting dedicated to achieving consensus on terminology for preclinical psoriatic arthritis studies, one of PPACMAN’s main areas of interest. The data obtained from this voting exercise were used to draft a formal Delphi survey that is currently underway.
