General health status in psoriasis patients, as assessed by the SF‐12 questionnaire, is poorly associated with PASI

Abstract

An important issue in medicine is how to measure the clinical severity of a disease. In psoriasis this is traditionally assessed using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Assessment (PASI). However, it is a concern that this measure does not really capture the burden that the disease has on patients. The aim of this observational study was to assess, in patients with psoriasis, the relationship between health status and clinical severity measures.
