Palmoplantar Pustulosis has a Greater Disease Burden than Plaque Psoriasis: Real-World Evidence From the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a rare skin disease characterized by episodes of neutrophilic pustules on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Current treatments for PPP have limited efficacy, and there is little real-world evidence characterizing the disease burden of PPP in patients.

Objective

To describe and compare the clinical characteristics and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of patients with PPP with those of patients with plaque psoriasis.

Methods

This real-world study used data from patients with PPP or plaque psoriasis enrolled in the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry. Disease characteristics, historical medical data, PROs, and quality-of-life measures were compared between patients with PPP and those with plaque psoriasis. These measures w
