Complete Skin Clearance is Associated with the Greatest Benefits to Health-Related Quality of Life and Perceived Symptoms for Patients with Psoriasis

With newer biologics, the achievement of complete skin clearance has become an attainable treatment goal for patients with plaque psoriasis. We evaluate how improvements in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) responses, particularly at incremental improvements approaching complete skin clearance (PASI 100), translate into improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and patient-perceived symptoms.
