Psoriasis-an index of disability
Abstract
Fifty‐Four patients completed a questionnaire to assess functional lifestyle disability caused by psoriasis and a detailed record of the area of psoriasis involvement was taken. The 10 most relevant and independent questions were identified from the original 28 questions and the final questionnaire score, the Psoriasis Disability Index (PDI), was used to quantify reduction in disability before (34. 1±11. 1) and after (22. 3± 10. 9, n=20, P<0. 002) in‐patient treatment. The total area of involvement of psoriasis is not a reliable guide to disability. The PDI may be used as a repeatable measure and record of disability caused by psoriasis and may potentially aid psoriasis management decision taking.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
