Abstract
Generalised pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a chronic, multisystemic, autoinflammatory disease with predominantly cutaneous manifestations, characterised by recurrent episodes of widespread, macroscopic and aseptic pustules. It has a highly unpredictable, heterogeneous and unstable clinical course. There are no consensus guidelines in India for the management of GPP. The objective of this Delphi panel study was to achieve consensus on problem areas in the understanding and management of GPP. Based on the inputs from an expert panel, 19 topics across six domains were identified as being important regarding the understanding and management of GPP. Statements were developed for these 19 topics, and consensus for the statements was sought using the modified Delphi method. Twelve experts evaluated the statements, indicating their agreement or disagreement. Consensus was considered to be reached when ≥80% of experts agreed with a statement. After two rounds of discussion, consensus was reached for 17 out of 19 (89%) statements and no consensus was achieved for two (11%) statements. We have presented the statements along with the respective degrees of consensus. Wherever relevant, clarifications or additional comments by experts are provided in the document.
