Measuring the societal impact of psoriasis in the United Kingdom through a non-interventional study of patients

Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to measure total societal costs of moderate-to-severe, chronic plaque psoriasis in adults, and was conducted at 10 National Health Service hospitals in the United Kingdom between June-November 2014. Data capture was via hand-held electronic devices. Investigators at participating sites identified participants. Eligible patients were ≥18 years of age and diagnosed with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≥10, and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) >10).
