Methods: We identified 154 patients with psoriatic arthritis and 35 patients with psoriasis who were treated at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan, between September 2018 and January 2019. Results: There were significant differences in the Nail Psoriasis Severity Index scores and Glasgow Ultrasound Enthesitis Scoring System scores between patients with psoriasis and those with psoriatic arthritis. B-mode ultrasonography revealed that onychopathic changes were more common in the psoriasis group. The psoriatic arthritis group showed a higher proportion of lower-limb enthesopathy, with significant differences in distal patellar ligament thickness and Achilles tendon thickness. Conclusion: The findings of nail ultrasonography were more severe in psoriasis cases, and the ultrasonographic findings of enthesopathy of the lower limb were more severe in cases of psoriatic arthritis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11216296","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]],"date-time":"2022-10-26T05:11:33Z","timestamp":1666761093000},"page":"6296","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Ultrasound Can Be Usefully Integrated with the Clinical Assessment of Nail and Enthesis Involvement in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yu-Shin","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Huei","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiung-Hung","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Thoracic Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9770-5730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chang-Fu","family":"Kuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"},{"name":"Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6226-6635","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yun-Ju","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"278","article-title":"Diagnosis and management of psoriasis","volume":"63","author":"Kim","year":"2017","journal-title":"Can.
