[Translated article] Psoriatic Patient-Reported Outcomes, Adherence, and Satisfaction

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are outcomes evaluated by patients based on their perception of their disease and treatment.

Determine antipsoriatic treatment-related adherence, quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction.

We conducted an observational cross-sectional, prospective, and single-center study in which PROs surveys were conducted on adherence (Morisky-Green [MG] test), treatment satisfaction (Spanish Questionnaire of Treatment Satisfaction in Psoriasis [CESTEP]) and QoL (Skindex-29 and DLQI). Additional variables include: PASI, BSA.

A total of 100 surveys were conducted. Based on the MG questionnaire, we found that 75% (75/100) of patients were adherent vs 94% (94/100) from the dispensation records. Regarding CESTEP, a mean score of 7.4±7.7 (close to maximum satisfaction 0) was obtained, while DLQI yielded a score of 2.6±4.6 (indicating a small effect on QoL), and SKINDEX-29 a score of 14.6±15.4 (68% indicating mild (<5) or very mild (6-17) impact according to Nijsten et al.). Based on CESTEP a p.Rho Spearman value of 0.338 (p=0.004) was obtained in relation to PASI when the study was conducted with a BSA of 0.255 (p=0.050), DLQI results of 0.508 (p<0.001) and Skindex-29 results of 0.397(p<0.001). At the time of the study, the correlation matrix between DLQI result and PASI was 0.365 (p=0.002) with a BSA of 0.347 (p=0.007). Skindex-29 results with PASI were 0.380 (p=0.001) and with BSA, 0.295 (p=0.022).

Patients on therapy exhibit a good QoL, high adherence and satisfaction with their treatment. A significant correlation was seen among satisfaction, QoL, and PASI-BSA at the time of the study.
