Dear Editor, The temporal relationship between the onset of skin psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a long and well-known feature of psoriatic disease. The diagnosis of psoriasis before or after 40 years of age was defined as type 1 psoriasis or type 2 psoriasis, respectively.4 The primary analytical variable was the time elapsed (months) between the diagnosis of skin psoriasis and PsA, with negative times indicating the diagnosis of PsA before psoriasis. Of these patients, 71 (4-4%) were diagnosed with PsA earlier than psoriasis by at least 12 months, 309 (18-9%) were diagnosed with PsA and psoriasis within 12 months, and 1251 (76-7%) were diagnosed with psoriasis at least 12 months earlier than PsA (Table 1).
