<h3>Background</h3> Comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, osteoporosis and depression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis (PsO) are often under-recognized, and recommendations may improve their identification and treatment. <h3>Objectives</h3> The Canadian Dermatology-Rheumatology Comorbidity Initiative reviewed the literature to develop practical evidence-based recommendations for management of comorbidities in RA, PsA and PsO patients. <h3>Methods</h3> Eight questions regarding comorbidities in RA, PsA and PsO were developed. Literature was systematically searched (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and 2010-2012 ACR-EULAR-AAD-EADV abstracts), selected articles analysed and meta-analyses performed whenever possible. A meeting including rheumatologists, dermatologists, trainees/fellows and invited experts was held to develop consensus-based recommendations using a Delphi voting process with pre-specified cut-off agreement. The level of agreement was measured using a 10-point Likert scale and the potential impact of the recommendations on daily practice was considered. The level of evidence and the grade of recommendation were determined according to the Oxford levels of evidence. <h3>Results</h3> A total of 407 out of 17,575 articles were included in the systematic reviews. Recommendations were synthesized into 19 final recommendations ranging mainly from grade C to D, and relating to a large spectrum of comorbidities observed in clinical practice in patients with RA, PsA and PsO: CVD, obesity, osteoporosis, depression, infections and cancer. The level of agreement ranged from 80.9% to 95.8%. <h3>Conclusions</h3> These practical evidence-based recommendations can guide management of RA, PsA and PsO and optimize outcomes. <h3>Disclosure of Interest</h3> C.
