measuring psoriasis severity at home

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis that develops in approximately 2.9% of patients with psoriasis each year1,2. Early prediction of which patients will develop PsA is crucial for a patient&#39;s quality of life as a diagnostic delay of as little as six months may cause irreversible damage to the joints3. A previous study had identified features associated with early-stage PsA. The three components of the Investigator&#39;s Global Assessment (IGA)-induration (thickness), erythema (redness), and desquamation (scaliness)-were highly correlated with each other and were nominally associated with subsequent PsA development. Multivariate analysis showed that a history of fingernail psoriasis and untreated induration of psoriasis lesions were independent PsA predictors4. Other studies have also identified psoriasis severity as associated with psoriatic arthritis2,5,6. The collection of these clinical factors is likely to be important in future PsA screening.
Several PsA screening tests exist7,8,9,10, but they require physicians to conduct them. A questionnaire-based screening test that can be completed by patients without physician assistance is an ideal format because it will not burden the dermatology and primary care clinics. Previously, the authors described a questionnaire with images that depict different severities of erythema and desquamation in multiple skin tones11. However, the measurement of induration requires a reference card corresponding to various plaque severities, such as that developed by the National Psoriasis Foundation12. The reference card is characterized by multiple raised areas of varying elevations, each corresponding to a number representing induration severity. To assess a patient&#39;s psoriasis severity in terms of induration, the card user compares the thickest psoriasis patch on a patient&#39;s body to the elevated areas on the card.
However, distributing a reference card to psoriasis patients may not be the most efficient approach for reaching a broad audience, especially for patients located outside the USA and for online survey studies. For researchers and clinicians gathering induration self-assessments from numerous patients, an alternative option could involve creating a homemade induration card using inexpensive office supplies. For patients, creating a homemade device from inexpensive office supplies can be more cost-effective than purchasing commercially available alternatives. This protocol describes how to create the Psoriasis Thickness Reference Card, an induration reference card that psoriasis patients can feel to assess the severity of their psoriasis induration. The Card can be made with standard office supplies and is inexpensive to make.

Misurazione della gravità della psoriasi a casa

Our research focuses on the healthcare of patients affected with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. One of the questions we try to answer is how to predict psoriatic arthritis among psoriasis patients using a cost-efficient approach that is accessible to remote locations. Our protocol enables patients to measure the severity of their psoriasis lesions without the need for a physician's assistance.They can even perform these assessments at home. The protocol will improve population-based research by expanding patient outreach and accessibility. Additionally, patient can utilize the protocol for direct treatment response effectively.
