    The DAPSA (Disease Activity in PSoriatic Arthritis) Score is used to assess disease activity in patients with psoriatic arthritis. It consists of counting the number of tender and swollen joints, measuring C-reactive protein levels, and having the patient rate their average disease activity and joint pain levels over the past week on 11-point scales. The scores from each component are added to calculate an overall DAPSA score, with higher scores indicating more active disease.
