Development of Psoriasis Assessment Tools Among Patients in the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dermatologists would benefit from an easy to use psoriasis severity assessment tool in the clinic.

Objective

To develop psoriasis assessment tools to predict PASI and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) using simple measures typically collected in clinical practice.

Methods

Data included 33 605 dermatology visits among plaque psoriasis patients enrolled in the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry (4/15/15-7/11/20). Performance (adjusted coefficient of determination [R² _adj], root mean square error [RMSE]) in predicting PASI and DLQI was assessed for 16 different linear regression models (specified a priori based on combinations of BSA, Investigator's Global Assessment [IGA], itch, skin pain, patient global assessment, age, sex, BMI, comorbid
