<h3>Background</h3> Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis (JPsoA) is a subtype of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) present in 7% of JIA patients (1). Psoriasis is present in 0.5–1% of children. Diagnosis is often difficult, with the articular manifestations often preceding skin disease by years. Data is scarce in the Spanish population. <h3>Objectives</h3> Describe demographical and clinical caracteristics of our cohort of JPsoA. <h3>Methods</h3> Descriptive, transversal study of patients attended from 1/2012–12/2016. Included were all complyers with ILAR Criteria (2) for JPsoA (Edmonton 2001). We also included the Wallace Criteria for clinical inactive disease (3) as a variable and endpoint. Data were included and analyzed using SPSS MAC 20. <h3>Results</h3> 31 patients were included: 18 (59%) girls, 13 (41%) boys. All Caucasian. They comprised 5% of all our JIA patients in that period. Mean age at diagnosis was 7.4 years. All were RF-; 9 (29%) ANA+; 4 (12.9%) HLA-B27+; articular onset 17 (55%) and cutaneous onset 14 (45%). 9 (29%) had Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) symptoms: 5 (16%) had pain and 4 (12.9%) had a positive MRI for TMJ synovitis. Plaque psoriasis 14 (45%), guttata 3 (9.6%) and 3 (9.6%) had both. Dactylitis 8 (26.6%); enthesitis 6 (19.35%). Joint disease was mainly oligoarticular 15 (48%), monoarticular 14 (45%) and polyarticular 1 (3.2%). Axial disease 4 (12.9%) at follow-up. 7 (22.5%) uveitis; 5 (77%) were ANA +. 3 (9.6%) onicodistrophia and 6 (19.3%) enthesitis. All patients received NSAIDs; 30 (96%) methotrexate; 6 (19.3%) switched to leflunomide. 16 (51.6%) received biologic treatment and 9 (29%) more than one. Articular debutants 10 (32.2%) received biologic treatment more than the those with cutaneous onset 6 (19.35%). We report 3 (9.6%) anti-TNF/paradoxal psoriasis events. Wallace Inactivity Criteria were achieved in 25 (80.6%), with no differences between the biologic and DMARDS groups in time up to Achieving Wallace Criteria (TimeWall). TMJ positive MRI did have a negative effect on TimeWall with 2 (66.6%) ≥8 yr (8, 11y) to TimeWall. <h3>Conclusions</h3> We describe the clinical features and demographics of a series of spanish JPsoA patients. We found more oligoarticular and monoarticular involvement and an important presence of enthesitis and dactylitis; higher frecuency of uveitis than published data (22.5% vs. 10–15%). Some were ANA-, reinforcing the need for screening. More than half required biologic treatment, and several cases we needed to switch drugs. Almost 60% of the patients were girls. Articular onset was associated with more active, harder to treat disease. TMJ positive RMI was associated with longer TimeWall. However, Wallace Criteria were not achieved globally. <h3>References</h3> T.R.Southwood, R.E. Petty, P.N. Malleson, et al. Psoriatic arthritis in children, Arthritis Rheum. 32 (1989) 1007–1013.
