PsA is known to be associated with multiple comorbidities, including cardiovascular, metabolic and mental health syndromes, all of which can increase its overall morbidity and mortality. Objective To characterize a cohort of patients with PsA and understand the impact of depression on PsA outcome measures. Methods 527 consecutive patients with PsA were enrolled in an observational, longitudinal registry that followed them prospectively at standard of care visits. Demographics, medical history, medication use, and clinical exam were all recorded. Results Depression was reported in 22.8% of the population, anxiety in 18%, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in 4%. Depression was more common in female participants (P < .001). At baseline, individuals with PsA and concomitant depression had similar tender and swollen joint counts and RAPID3 compared to those without depression, and had lower body surface area affected by psoriasis (P = .04). At year one, all patients had improvement in clinical outcomes. However, patients with depression had a significantly higher tender joint count compared to those without depression (P = .001), despite similar swollen joint count and body surface area. Conclusion In patients with depression, there is a discrepancy between improvement in physician assessed measures and patient reported outcomes. These observations underscore the importance of addressing depression and psychological distress as part of PsA treatment outcomes and points towards the need to address residual pain through co-adjuvant approaches.","PeriodicalId":36656,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135608493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Augustin","doi":"10.55788/27076e04","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.55788/27076e04","url":null,"abstract":"People with chronic skin diseases, such as psoriasis, experience multifaceted impairments that include physical symptoms, such as pain, psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, and social impairments, such as stigmatisation. To address this broad spectrum of impairments, a holistic healthcare approach is needed. The World Health Organization has established the people-centred model of care, in which health services adopt the perspective of people affected and their environment. The needs of patients are respected, and patients are put at the centre of care. This model was also adopted by the global report on psoriasis, which aims to improve the wellbeing of the affected people. This paper gives a brief overview of the status quo and an outline of how to improve people-centred care and patient orientation in dermatology, specifically for people with psoriasis. This includes the application of shared decision-making. Although only a few patient decision aids for psoriasis have been published, promising results regarding the reimbursement of shared decision-making applications in the hospital setting by health insurances are available, which also refer to dermatology departments. In addition, the use of patient-reported outcomes is of great importance to give patients a voice in their own healthcare. In accordance with the people-centred model, it is recommended to not only assess patients' perspectives, such as their needs, goals, and treatment benefits, but also the needs and treatment benefits of the patients' environment, such as their partner and treating healthcare professionals. One recent example of such a people-centred approach is the POSITIVE-study, which is the first study assessing the treatment effect on the wellbeing of patients with psoriasis. Moreover, the treatment benefit on physicians' satisfaction and patients' partners' lives is being evaluated. Therefore, it could act as a best practice example of how to integrate a people-centred approach in research.","PeriodicalId":36656,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75103410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
