Development and validation of a psoriasis treatment acceptability measure through group concept mapping.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Psoriasis is a common autoimmune dermatologic condition which has a pronounced negative impact on patient quality of life and disease burden. Currently, there are a number of treatments available for psoriasis, with differences in efficacy, mechanism of action, mode of administration, adverse effects, and tolerability. However, a reliable, validated patient-reported instrument to address patient expectations and of psoriasis treatment has not been developed. This project was undertaken with the aim of developing a fit-for-purpose self-reported instrument to inform patient expectations and preferences of psoriasis treatments.

Methods

Two studies, both utilizing qualitative and quantitative methods, were conducted in patients within the entire spectrum of psoriasis
