In our study, more than half of PsA patients had a diagnostic delay of > 2 years, and no significant improvement in time to diagnosis was noted between 2000 and 2017. Patients with younger age at PsA symptom onset, higher BMI, or enthesitis before diagnosis were more likely to have a diagnostic delay of > 2 years, whereas patients with sebopsoriasis were less likely to have a diagnostic delay.
