Disease Severity, Quality of Life and Health Care in Plaque-Type Psoriasis: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study in Germany
Abstract
Background: Plaque-type psoriasis produces significant morbidity, has negative effects on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and represents an economic burden. Objectives: The assessment of disease severity, HRQoL and health care in plaque-type psoriasis in everyday German medical practice. Methods: Details of patients with plaque-type psoriasis were recorded by 48 dermatologists in Germany. During the visit, demographic data, medical history, previous and current treatments, occupational impairment, the current state of the disease (measured by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index; PASI), overall lesion severity, and HRQoL were evaluated. Results: In total, 1,511 plaque-type psoriasis patients were included. The average PASI score was 12.0. The average Dermatology Life Quality Index score was 8.6. Among the patients with the severest psoriasis (PASI >20), only 45.4% had ever been prescribed systemic treatments. Conclusions: Psoriasis patients have a reduced HRQoL and are not sufficiently treated in practice. A more widespread use of systemic treatment and the definition of treatment goals are essential to improve the standard of care for psoriasis patients.

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.
