Perceived quality of life by patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases treated with biological therapies. SACVINFA study. FARMACIA HOSPITALARIA 2024:S1130-6343(24)00056-4. [PMID: 38789316 DOI: 10.1016/j.farma.2024.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate health-related quality of life perceived by patients with the most prevalent immune-mediated inflammatory diseases in Spain: inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), psoriasis (Ps), psoriatic arthritis (AP), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and spondyloarthropathies (SpAs), and to determine the factors that influence patient quality of life. METHODS The SACVINFA study (SA=satisfaction, CV=quality of life, IN=immune-mediated, FA=pharmacy) consisted of an observational study conducted in 4 hospitals in the Community of Madrid. A cross-sectional analysis was made for adult patients diagnosed with an immune-mediated inflammatory disease who attended the Pharmacy Service. Quality of life was assessed using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and specific questionnaires: SIBDQ-9, DLQI, PsAQoL, QoL-RA, and ASQoL. RESULTS A total of 578 patients were analysed (inflammatory bowel disease=25.3%; psoriasis=19.7%; spondyloarthropathies=18.7%; rheumatoid arthritis=18.5%; psoriatic arthritis=17.8%). The mean age (standard deviation) was 49.8 (12.3) years and 50.7% were male. The average score (standard deviation) for the global EQ-5D-5L was 0.771 (0.2) and the mean (standard deviation) visual analogue scale score was 71.5 (20.0). Type of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases was associated with differences in quality of life showing psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease higher values of EQ5D-5L than psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and spondyloarthropathies, p<.05 in all comparisons. Patients with RA, IBD, and Ps achieved 70% of the maximum score, while patients with PsA and SpAs did not reach 50% of the maximum possible score. Female gender, a state of moderate/severe disease severity, an older age, and a higher number of previous treatments were correlated with worse quality of life. Conversely, persistence to current treatment correlated with better quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases have markedly affected quality of life, mainly in the pain/discomfort dimension, especially in those immune-mediated inflammatory diseases with a rheumatological component.

Enhanced impact of psoriasis severity on the treatment demands of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study based on a national psoriasis registry in China. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e079627. [PMID: 38367975 PMCID: PMC10875510 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-079627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The personalised treatment demands of patients with psoriasis did not get significant attention during the pandemic lockdown. This study aimed to investigate the treatment demands of patients with psoriasis with different severities, stratified by COVID-19 pandemic conditions. DESIGN Cross-sectional study design. SETTING Multicentre study based on a national psoriasis registry in China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 22 425 adult patients with psoriasis were enrolled between August 2020 and September 2021. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes were patient demands for quick healing of skin lesions and improving mental health, which were collected by questionnaires. Multivariable logistic models were used to examine the impact of disease severity, as measured by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), body surface area (BSA) and Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA), on treatment demands, as stratified by COVID-19 pandemic conditions (lockdown vs non-lockdown). RESULTS Increasing PASI score significantly increased patient demands for rapid healing of skin lesions and improving mental health during non-lockdown periods. The magnitude of both associations further increased during the COVID-19 lockdown from an OR of 1.45 (95% CI 1.27 to 1.65) to 2.19 (95% CI 1.57 to 3.05) and 2.21 (95% CI 2.03 to 2.40) to 2.82 (95% CI 2.24 to 3.55), respectively. The skin lesion healing demand was more triggered by the overall irritation level (measured by IGA, OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.35 to 1.99 during non-lockdown periods vs OR 2.70, 95% CI 1.63 to 4.49 during lockdowns), while the mental health improving demand was more triggered by lesion coverage (measured by BSA, OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.85 to 2.19 vs OR 3.27, 95% CI 2.57 to 4.15). CONCLUSIONS Psoriasis aggravation significantly increased patients' treatment demands, especially during lockdowns. The used psoriasis severity measures highlighted patients' treatment demands differently. This suggests more accessible and personalised healthcare for patients with psoriasis should be available during future pandemics.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with genetic and immunological susceptibility. The objective of the study was to evaluate pruritus and sleep quality in correlation (r) to psoriasis severity and to detect their impact on quality of life. Two hundred (200) patients with psoriasis were included. Psoriasis severity was determined using the psoriasis area severity index (PASI), the quality of life (QoL) was assessed by the psoriasis disability index (PDI) questionnaire, and the sleep quality was evaluated by the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Finally, the severity of itching was evaluated using a 12-item pruritus severity scale (PSS). Poor sleep quality was found in 16.0% of patients in this study. Poor sleep was detected among 50.0% of cases with severe psoriasis. PASI scores correlated significantly with sleep quality, duration and sleep disturbances (p < 0.001). The global PSQI and PASI were also significantly correlated (p = 0.004). In conclusion patients complaining of psoriasis exacerbated by pruritus and sleep problems demonstrated lower quality of life in all domains. Sleep disturbances and depressive symptoms impairing quality of life should be taken into consideration when screening patients suffering from psoriasis.

Abstract
Enhanced treatment options for psoriasis and growing use of guidelines increased the potential to better quality of psoriasis care in Europe. The aim of the PsoBarrier EU study is to compare the quality and processes of psoriasis care in four European countries with different healthcare systems, based on validated quality indicators. This cross-sectional survey was conducted in dermatology centres in Denmark, Germany, Poland and Spain on 1,304 patients, using standardized patient and physician questionnaires. Measured by quality of psoriasis care indicators, patients in Poland had the most critical outcomes, such as the highest disease severity (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index; PASI) and lowest health-related quality of life (Dermatology Life Quality Index; DLQI). This indicates differences in psoriasis care, with Polish participants experiencing more severe psoriasis and its consequences. Differences in the healthcare systems, which create barriers to accessing treatments, could explain variations in quality of care.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis is a common skin disease that affects physical, psychological, and social well-being of patients. Several studies have assessed health-related quality of life of patients with psoriasis in different populations with large variations. Objective To investigate, for the first time, the impact of psoriasis on quality of life of Afghan patients with psoriasis. Methods This is a prospective observational study conducted at the dermatology department of Maiwand Teaching hospital in Kabul City during April 2018 to May 2019. Patients with plaque psoriasis with age ≥16 years were included in the study. Psoriasis Disability Index was used for the assessment of health-related quality of life. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index was used to define the severity of disease. Appropriate tests were performed using Statistical Package for Social Science. Results A total of 174 patients with psoriasis were included in the study, 89 of them were male (51.1%) and 85 of them were female (48.9%). The mean age of the patients was 27.7 years with 13.2 years SD, and the average duration of the disease was 3.2 years with 4.7 years SD. The mean of PASI score was 13.3 with 7.8 SD, while the mean of total PDI was 9.6 with 3.7 SD; there was a strong correlation between total PDI and PASI score (r=0.751, p<0.001). The mean of total PDI was higher among moderate-to-severe psoriasis, female patients, younger age, and those who were single. Conclusion Our study highlighted that psoriasis disability index was highly correlated with psoriasis area and severity index. Furthermore, the quality of life was more affected among female patients, patients younger than 40 years, and those patients who were single.

Correlation Between Change in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and Dermatology Life Quality Index in Patients with Psoriasis: Pooled Analysis from Four Phase 3 Clinical Trials of Secukinumab. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2021; 11:1373-1384.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with psoriasis (PsO) experience impaired health-related quality of life due to physical and psychosocial burdens. The objective of this study was to assess the correlation between change in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score and selected Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) domain scores in patients with moderate-to-severe PsO and those with PsO and comorbid psoriatic arthritis (PsA). METHODS This post hoc analysis of four phase 3 clinical trials included patients with moderate-to-severe PsO randomized to secukinumab 150/300 mg, etanercept, or placebo. Pairwise latent growth models were applied to assess the longitudinal correlation between change in PASI scores and changes in three DLQI domain scores (daily activities, leisure activities, and symptoms/feelings). The initial (baseline to week 12) and sustained (week > 12 to week 52) treatment exposures were analysed by population type (total, PsO only, and PsO with comorbid PsA) and treatment arm (secukinumab, etanercept, or placebo). RESULTS Among the total population (N = 2401), PASI change was positively correlated with change in each assessed DLQI domain; correlations were weak to moderate over the initial treatment exposure period (β range, 0.20-0.29; all P < 0.001) and moderate to strong over the sustained exposure period (β range, 0.63-0.69; all P < 0.001). Similar trends were observed regardless of the presence of comorbid PsA. These relationships were confirmed among patients treated with secukinumab, etanercept, or placebo. CONCLUSIONS Improvements in PASI scores were directly moderately related to improvements in DLQI domain scores from initiation of treatment and extended over time, regardless of presence of comorbid PsA or treatment received. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ERASURE (NCT01365455), FIXTURE (NCT01358578), FEATURE (NCT01555125), and JUNCTURE (NCT01636687).

Deterioration of Health-Related Quality of Life After Withdrawal of Risankizumab Treatment in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis: A Machine Learning Predictive Model. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2021; 11:1291-1304. [PMID: 34019229 PMCID: PMC8322223 DOI: 10.1007/s13555-021-00550-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Risankizumab has demonstrated efficacy in treating moderate-to-severe psoriasis. The phase-3 IMMhance trial (NCT02672852) examined the effect of continuing versus withdrawing from risankizumab treatment on psoriasis severity, including the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA). However, the effect of withdrawal on health-related quality of life (HRQL) was not assessed. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the impact of risankizumab withdrawal on HRQL measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Because DLQI was not measured beyond week 16 in IMMhance, a machine learning predictive model for DLQI was developed. METHODS A machine learning model for DLQI was fitted using repeated measures data from three phase-3 trials (NCT02684370, NCT02684357, NCT02694523) (pooled N = 1602). An elastic-net algorithm performed automated variable selection among candidate predictors including concurrent PASI and sPGA, demographics, and interaction terms. The machine learning model was used to predict DLQI at weeks 28-104 of IMMhance among patients re-randomized to continue (N = 111) or withdraw from (N = 225) risankizumab after achieving response (sPGA = 0/1) at week 28. RESULTS The machine learning predictive model demonstrated good statistical fit during tenfold cross-validation and external validation against observed DLQI at weeks 0-16 of IMMhance (N = 507). Predicted improvements in DLQI from baseline were lower in the withdrawal versus the continuation cohort (mean DLQI change at week 104, -5.9 versus -11.5, difference [95% CI] = 5.6 [4.1, 7.3]). Predicted DLQI deteriorated more extensively than PASI (49.7% versus 36.4%) after treatment withdrawal. CONCLUSIONS The predicted DLQI score deteriorated more rapidly after risankizumab withdrawal than the PASI score, an objective measure of disease. These findings suggest that the deterioration in HRQL reflects more substantial impacts after risankizumab discontinuation than those measured by PASI only.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, and multifactorial dermatosis that impairs quality of life (QoL). Health-related QoL has become an important element in medical decision-making along with the effectiveness and the harmlessness of the treatments. OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of psoriasis in the QoL of patients with psoriasis by using the DLQI scales. METHODS A cross-sectional study from January to June 2018 was conducted in the Department of Dermatology of the University Hospital Joseph Raseta Befelatanana, Antananarivo, Madagascar, including patients more than 18 years old with mild to severe psoriasis. The severity of psoriasis was assessed using the "Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)". QoL of patients with psoriasis was evaluated by using the DLQI scales. RESULTS 80 patients were included, their mean age was 36.5 years, and the male to female was 1.5 : 1. The mean DLQI score was 13.8. Symptoms, feelings, and psychic were the most altered dimensions. QoL was impaired in young patients, single, having medium level education. Even though patients with disease duration more than 5 years had higher DLQI score than other patients, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.36). Furthermore, the clinical presentation of psoriasis did not influence the patient's QoL (p = 0.73). Patients with nail involvement had QoL impaired but the difference with another localization was not statistically significant (p = 0.2). The quality of life was influenced by body area involved. The higher the body surface area involved, the more QoL is impaired (p = 0.002). Furthermore, the higher the PASI, the more QoL is altered (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Psoriasis has a negative impact in the quality of life in Malagasy patients with psoriasis, especially in younger and single patients. Worse quality of life is correlated to severity of psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin condition, affecting 2-4% of the worldwide population. Psoriasis remains an important public health challenge because there are many clinical forms of psoriasis in particular sites, probably related to the dysregulation of different cytokines. Therefore, there is a continuous need to improve treatment options with mechanisms of action different from those of the currently known therapies. Advances in knowledge of the molecular bases of pathogenesis lead to a better understanding of the disease, thus influencing the development and management of effective treatments. Moreover, data from recent published work indicate that psoriasis coexists with cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus and psychiatric disorders. We present results from our 52-week open-label trial in a cohort of psoriatic and psoriatic arthritis patients treated with daily p.o. doses of apremilast 60 mg. We confirmed the efficacy and safety of the drug in favoring the improvement of skin and joint disease as well as the modulation of metabolic biomarkers in diabetic and non-diabetic psoriatic patients. Apremilast could be used successfully in psoriatic patients affected by cardiometabolic comorbidities, ensuring an improvement in both diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of psoriasis on quality of life (QoL), sexuality and empathy requires better understanding in patient-partner relationships. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of psoriasis on partner QoL, presence of sexual dysfunction (SDy) in couples and empathy in partners of psoriasis patients. METHODS A total of 183 adult psoriasis patients and their partners participated in this observational, cross-sectional and non-comparative study. Severity of psoriasis was measured using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index. Patient QoL was assessed using the Dermatology Life Quality Index and the Short Form-12 (SF12). The impact of psoriasis on partner QoL was measured with the Family Pso and the SF12. Presence of SDy and empathy in partners were assessed using the Family Pso. RESULTS Overall, 49.7% of the patients had moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Patient psoriasis severity and patient QoL were correlated with partner psychological distress. The largest QoL impairment was observed in female patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. The stronger QoL alteration observed in female psoriasis patients, compared to their partners, was not observed in male psoriasis patients vs. their partners. There was no relationship between partner QoL and patient age and duration of psoriasis. Most patients, but less than half of the partners, reported SDy with age being a being a significantly more important impacting factor than disease severity. Both psoriasis clinical severity and/or a significant impact on QoL were associated factors for SDy in male partners of psoriasis women, but not in female partners of psoriatic men. Reporting empathy was higher among young male partners of psoriasis patients. In both male and female partners, patient psoriasis clinical severity was not associated with empathy. CONCLUSIONS Psoriasis impact on patient-partner QoL, sexuality and empathy should be considered more thoroughly by dermatologists when formulating treatment plans and making treatment decisions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review the literature on validated tools for measuring patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in psoriasis in Spain. To evaluate the psychometric properties of the tools and describe the results of their practical application. MATERIAL AND METHODS Systematic review of studies validating or using instruments for assessing PROs in Spanish patients with psoriasis. Literature searches were performed in international (PubMed/Medline) and Spanish (Medes, Ibecs) databases. We also searched databases of instruments for measuring PROs (BiblioPRO, PROQOLID). The review included studies published in English or Spanish up to January 9, 2017. We also checked the reference lists of the key publications identified. The quality of the questionnaires was evaluated based on their psychometric properties (construct, transcultural adaptation, reliability, validity, feasibility, and sensitivity to change). RESULTS Eighteen publications were included. Six articles described the validation of Spanish versions of 5 PROs tools: 4 health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires specific to psoriasis and dermatologic diseases and 1 questionnaire specific to satisfaction with treatment. Our assessment of the HRQoL tools' psychometric properties showed that the PSO-LIFE questionnaire received the highest scores, although specific properties varied from instrument to instrument. The 12 remaining articles were observational studies that used the validated instruments. In use, these tools detected the high impact of psoriasis on HRQoL, especially in young female patients with severe disease. CONCLUSIONS We identified 5 specific instruments validated in Spain for scoring PROs in patients with psoriasis. The tools' psychometric properties vary, and it is essential to understand their strengths and weaknesses when selecting the right one for each situation. In use, these questionnaires are able to detect the high impact of psoriasis on patients' HRQoL. PROs provide useful information to complement routine clinical findings in psoriasis and may contribute to improving disease management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This analysis examined the association between psoriasis severity, assessed by body surface area (BSA) and the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA; previously used only in clinical trials), and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in a real-world setting. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis within the Corrona Psoriasis Registry, an independent, prospective registry. SETTING 70 dermatology practices in the USA. PARTICIPANTS 1529 adult patients with psoriasis being treated with biological or non-biological systemic psoriasis treatment by 31 May 2016. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Psoriasis severity was assessed by percentage of affected BSA (mild (0%-5%), moderate (>5%-10%), severe (>10%-15%), very severe (>15%)) and IGA scores (clear/almost clear (0-1), mild (2), moderate (3), severe (4)). PROs (pain, itch, fatigue; Dermatology Life Quality Index [DLQI]; EuroQoL Visual Analogue Scale [EQ-VAS]; Work Productivity and Activity Impairment [WPAI]) were compared across BSA and IGA levels using analysis of variance and X2 tests. The association between psoriasis severity and PROs was examined using multivariable regression models. RESULTS The mean age was 50.6 years and 47% of patients were female. Consistently with more severe psoriasis, symptoms worsened, DLQI scores increased (p<0.05 for each level of BSA and IGA), EQ-VAS decreased (p<0.05 for each level of BSA and IGA) and WPAI scores increased. By BSA score, moderate to very severe psoriasis was associated with poorer outcomes for the 'impairment while working' and 'daily activities impaired' WPAI domains (all p<0.05 vs mild psoriasis). Very severe psoriasis was associated with increased 'work hours missed' and 'work hours affected' (both p<0.05 vs mild psoriasis) Findings were similar by IGA. Results were confirmed by multivariable regression analyses. CONCLUSIONS In a real-world setting, more severe psoriasis, assessed by BSA and IGA, was consistently associated with worse PROs.

Abstract
Psoriasis (skin psoriasis, PsO) is a chronic inflammatory condition. In about one-third of cases, the joints are affected (psoriatic arthritis, PsA). Both conditions, especially PsA, profoundly impact patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). To describe the impact of psoriasis on HRQoL and patients’ contact with the healthcare system in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, the NORdic PAtient survey of Psoriasis and Psoriatic arthritis (NORPAPP) asked 22,050 adults randomly selected in Sweden, Denmark and Norway if they had psoriasis. 1264 individuals who reported physician-diagnosed PsO/PsA were invited to the full survey; 1221 responded (74.6% diagnosed with PsO alone; 25.4% with PsA ± PsO). Respondents with PsA most frequently consulted a rheumatologist; however, 14.3% had never seen a rheumatologist. Respondents with PsO alone most frequently consulted a general practitioner and 10.7% had never seen a dermatologist (although those with severe symptoms visited dermatologists more often). Negative impacts on HRQoL were reported by 38.1% of respondents with PsO [mostly limitations on clothing (22.6%), sleep disorders (16%), and depression/anxiety (16%)] and by 73% of respondents with PsA [mostly limitations on clothing (41.8%), sports/leisure (44.0%), or daily routine (45.1%) and sleeping disorders]. Absence from work/education was more common with PsA ± PsO (51.9%) than PsO alone (15.1%). In this survey in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, the impact of psoriasis on the respondents’ HRQoL was profound and was greater for PsA than for PsO, as was sickness absence. Sleeping disorders and depression were common and should not be overlooked.

J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2017; 31:1316-1323.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Moderate-to-severe psoriasis is associated with reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Individuals with psoriasis are at increased risk for other medical conditions, but little information quantifies the incremental burden of psoriasis-associated comorbidity among European adults, and data have generally been limited to clinical samples. OBJECTIVE To quantify the incremental burden of cardiovascular comorbidity and psoriatic arthritis among adults with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in the general population of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom (EU5). METHODS All measures were self-reported and came from the 2010-2013 EU5 National Health and Wellness Surveys (NHWS). Moderate-to-severe psoriasis was identified by >10% body surface area affected by psoriasis and/or use of therapies for moderate-severe disease. Outcomes were SF-12v2/SF-36v2 mental and physical component summary scores (MCS and PCS, respectively), SF-6D health utility, Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire and healthcare use in the past 6 months. Generalized linear models compared across cardiovascular comorbidity (CV) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) groups vs. non-CV or non-PsA groups with appropriate link functions to adjust for covariates. RESULTS Among moderate-to-severe psoriasis respondents (n = 957), 19.8% (n = 190) reported CV comorbidity and 12.3% (n = 118) reported PsA. After adjustment for covariates, CV comorbidity was associated with 3.0 points lower MCS, 3.4 points lower PCS and 0.05 points lower SF-6D (all P < 0.01). Likewise, they had greater mean work impairment (48% vs. 33%), more activity impairment (48% vs. 37%), and more healthcare provider visits (8.8 vs. 6.9), emergency room visits (0.65 vs. 0.31) and hospitalizations (0.61 vs. 0.22) (all P < 0.05). Compared to non-PsA respondents, PsA respondents also had worse mean MCS (2.6 points), PCS (6.3 points) and SF-6D scores (0.07 points), and more work impairment (52% vs. 34%), activity impairment (54% vs. 38%) and healthcare provider visits (10.5 vs. 6.9) (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION CV comorbidity and PsA were associated with significant incremental burden among EU5 adults with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.
