The social value of a PASI 90 or PASI 100 response in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Spain. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1000776.

Abstract
Introduction Psoriasis is a chronic disease involving the skin, which significantly impacts the quality of life. Disease severity and treatment efficacy (i.e., response) are assessed through the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI). A PASI 75 response, i.e., an improvement of at least 75% with respect to the baseline PASI score, has traditionally been used as a therapeutic benchmark in clinical trials. Therapeutic advances have made PASI 90 or PASI 100 responses possible in most patients treated with some biologics. A greater response may generate social value beyond clinical outcomes that would benefit both patients and society. Methods A 1-year economic model was applied to estimate the impact of having a PASI 75, PASI 90, or PASI 100 response in four areas of analysis (quality of life, activities of daily living, work productivity, and out-of-pocket expenditures) and the social value of having a PASI 90 or PASI 100 response in comparison with a PASI 75 response. A mixed-methods approach based on the scientific literature, a focus group with patient, and an advisory committee with psoriasis stakeholders was used. The model included three different scenarios: having a PASI 90 vs a PASI 75 response; a PASI 100 vs a PASI 90 response; and a PASI 100 vs a PASI 75 response. A sensitivity analysis was included. Results The annual economic impact per patient with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis having a PASI 75 response was estimated at Ł 6,139, mainly related to labour productivity losses and quality of life reductions. Having a PASI 90 or a PASI 100 response would reduce this impact to €3,956 or €1,353, respectively. Accordingly, the social value of having a PASI 90 instead of a PASI 75 response was estimated at €2,183, and €4,786 with a PASI 100 response. Discussion A PASI 90 or PASI 100 response would have a lower economic impact and a greater social value than a PASI 75 response for patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Elevating the Standard of Care for Patients with Psoriasis: 'Calls to Action' from Epicensus, a Multistakeholder Pan-European Initiative. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2023; 13:245-268. [PMID: 36484915 PMCID: PMC9734585 DOI: 10.1007/s13555-022-00846-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite advances in treatment options and the management of patients with psoriasis, considerable unmet needs remain. Our objective was to identify ways to elevate the standard of care for patients with psoriasis by combining the perspectives of three important stakeholders: patients, clinicians and payors, and define 'Calls to Action' designed to achieve the identified changes. METHODS Eight themes relevant to elevating the standard of care were identified from an insights-gathering questionnaire completed by all three stakeholder groups. A modified Delphi exercise gained consensus on statements informed by the insights. Statements were then used to inspire 'Calls to Action' - practical steps that could be taken to realise the desired changes and elevate the standard of care. RESULTS In total, 18 European experts (10 dermatologists, 3 payors and 5 patient representatives) took part in the Delphi process. Consensus was reached on statements relating to all eight themes: improve healthcare systems to better support multidisciplinary team working and digital services, real-world data generation and optimal use, improve patient access, elevate quality-of-life measures as the most important outcomes, involve patients in patient-centred and personalised approaches to care, improve the relevance and reach of guidelines, education, and multistakeholder engagement. 'Calls to Action' common to all three stakeholder groups recognised the need to capitalise on the shift to digital healthcare, the need for consistent input into registries to generate real-world evidence to support guideline development, and the necessity of educating patients on the benefits of reporting outcomes to generate real-world data. The enormous quality-of-life burden and psychological impact of psoriasis, as well as the clinical needs of patients must be better understood, including by healthcare commissioners, so that funding priorities are assessed appropriately. CONCLUSION This unique initiative identified a practical 'Call-to-Action Framework' which, if implemented, could help improve the standard of care for patients with psoriasis.

J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2023; 37:194-203. [PMID: 35994204 DOI: 10.1111/jdv.18554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of genodermatoses characterized by localized or generalized skin and/or mucosal fragility. The objective of this work was to evaluate in France the burden of disease and out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures for families with a child affected by EB. MATERIAL AND METHODS A digital questionnaire was built and distributed to parents of children with EB in partnership with the patients' association DEBRA France. The questionnaire collected clinical and socioeconomic characteristics including the estimated amount of money caregivers had to pay out of their own pockets. The burden of caregivers was assessed using the validated Epidermolysis Bullosa Burden of Disease (EB-BoD) tool. Linear univariate regression models were conducted to search for factors associated with higher burden and higher OOP. RESULTS Between October and December 2021, 77 parents answered the questionnaire. The responder was the child's mother in 77% (n = 59) of cases. Parents represented 40 girls and 37 boys with a mean age of 7.5 years and with different EB types and disease severity. The mean BE-BOD score was 63.9 ± 20.2. The mean score observed in children with severe EB was 69.0 ± 21 versus 59.0 ± 18.6 for moderate/mild. Similarly, the mean BE-BOD scores observed in parents performing daily wound care were 67.9 ± 19.6. All parents (100%) reported OOP expenses. The mean annual OOP cost was 4129€ ± 4321€. Linear regression demonstrated that for each one-point increase in the EB-BoD score, OOP expense increases by 91.1 euros (35.1-147) p = 0.002. CONCLUSION EB places a considerable burden on families' daily lives. This burden is closely associated with OOP expenditures to manage EB which were on average 20 times higher compared with the French population.
