The majority of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients present at dermatology clinics with cutaneous psoriasis up to 10 years prior to arthritis onset; therefore, applying a suitable screening tool to detect PsA early is essential for dermatologists. This study aimed to validate and evaluate the Persian version of two PsA screening questionnaires, the early arthritis for psoriatic patients questionnaire (EARP) and the psoriasis epidemiology screening tool (PEST) in Iranian psoriatic patients.
