Optimizing Patient Outcomes in Moderate to Severe Psoriasis

Patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis experience a high burden of disease, including physical factors, such as itching and pain; and psychosocial factors, such as embarrassment, anxiety, or depression. They experience frustration with chronic treatments that may or may not work, and quality of life (QoL) issues. Collaborative patient-clinician communication and shared-decision making are crucial to identify appropriate treatment strategies. Implementing individualized treat-to-target strategies with patient goal-setting can help reduce disease burden and improve QoL.
