Association of Patient Mental Health Status With the Level of Agreement Between Patient and Physician Ratings of Psoriasis Severity.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The emerging paradigm of treat-to-target in psoriasis requires accurate monitoring of treatment response. The commonly used physician global assessment tool does not capture the patient's perception of their disease. Patient assessments facilitate shared decision-making and foster patient-centered care; however, recent research reports a discordance between patient- and physician-reported psoriasis severity. Understanding the factors underlying this discordance may improve treatment satisfaction and disease outcomes.

Objectives

To evaluate the discordance between patient- and physician-reported measures of psoriasis severity and assess the association with patient mental health status.

Design, setting, and participants

A cohort study using repeated cross-se
