Treatment Goals for Psoriasis as Measured by Patient Benefit Index: Results of a National Psoriasis Foundation Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This cross-sectional survey was conducted with National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) to capture treatment perspectives and expectations in patients with psoriasis (PsO) using Patient Needs Questionnaire (PNQ) of Patient Benefit Index (PBI).

Methods

Adult participants with self-reported diagnosis of PsO responded to the PNQ portion of PBI by indicating how much they valued different treatment attributes. All the treatment goals were captured on a five-point Likert scale (0 = "Not important", 4 = "Very important"). Treatment goals were obtained for overall population and subgroups based on severity of disease Patient Global Assessment (PGA), age, gender, and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) total score. All data were expressed as mean and standard deviation [SD
