Impact of psoriasis severity on patient-reported clinical symptoms, health-related quality of life and work productivity among US patients: real-world data from the Corrona Psoriasis Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This analysis examined the association between psoriasis severity, assessed by body surface area (BSA) and the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA; previously used only in clinical trials), and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in a real-world setting.

Design

Cross-sectional analysis within the Corrona Psoriasis Registry, an independent, prospective registry.

Setting

70 dermatology practices in the USA.

Participants

1529 adult patients with psoriasis being treated with biological or non-biological systemic psoriasis treatment by 31 May 2016.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Psoriasis severity was assessed by percentage of affected BSA (mild (0%-5%), moderate (>5%-10%), severe (>10%-15%), very severe (>15%)) and IGA scores (clear/almost clear (0-1), mild (2), moderate (3), severe (4)). PROs (pain, itch, fatigue; Dermatology Life Quality Index [DLQI]; EuroQoL Visual Analogue Scale [EQ-VAS]; Work Productivity and Activity Impairment [WPAI]) were compared across BSA and IGA levels using analysis of variance and X² tests. The association between psoriasis severity and PROs was examined using multivariable regression models.

Results

The mean age was 50.6 years and 47% of patients were female. Consistently with more severe psoriasis, symptoms worsened, DLQI scores increased (p<0.05 for each level of BSA and IGA), EQ-VAS decreased (p<0.05 for each level of BSA and IGA) and WPAI scores increased. By BSA score, moderate to very severe psoriasis was associated with poorer outcomes for the 'impairment while working' and 'daily activities impaired' WPAI domains (all p<0.05 vs mild psoriasis). Very severe psoriasis was associated with increased 'work hours missed' and 'work hours affected' (both p<0.05 vs mild psoriasis) Findings were similar by IGA. Results were confirmed by multivariable regression analyses.

Conclusions

In a real-world setting, more severe psoriasis, assessed by BSA and IGA, was consistently associated with worse PROs.

Project description:BackgroundReal-world studies evaluating patients with challenging-to-treat localizations of psoriasis (scalp, nail, and palmoplantar) are limited.ObjectiveTo characterize patients with versus without psoriasis in challenging-to-treat areas seen in routine US clinical practice.MethodsThis retrospective observational study included all adult patients with psoriasis enrolled in the Corrona Psoriasis Registry between April 2015 and May 2018 who initiated a biologic therapy at registry enrollment. Patients were stratified by the presence of scalp, nail, or palmoplantar psoriasis (nonmutually exclusive groups). Patient demographics, clinical char-acteristics, disease activity, and patient-reported outcome measures (pain, fatigue, itch, EuroQol visual analog scale [EQ VAS], Dermatology Life Quality Index [DLQI], and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire [WPAI]) were assessed at registry enrollment and compared between patients with versus without each challenging-to-treat area using nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis tests for continuous variables and χ2 or Fisher exact tests for categorical variables. Generalized linear regression models were used to estimate differences in disease activity and patient-reported outcomes between patients with versus without each challenging-to-treat area.ResultsAmong 2,042 patients with psoriasis (mean age [±SD], 49.6 ± 14.7 years; 51.5% male), 38.4% had psoriatic arthritis (PsA), 38.1% had scalp psoriasis, 16.0% had nail psoriasis, 10.9% had palmoplantar psoriasis, and 26.2% had a combination of ≥2 challenging-to-treat areas and PsA; only 34.2% had body plaque psoriasis without PsA or challenging-to-treat areas. Patients in all challenging-to-treat groups reported higher (mean [95% CI]) itch (scalp, 58.01 [57.62-58.40] vs. 54.35 [53.99-54.72]; nail, 56.42 [56.02-56.81] vs. 55.59 [55.20-55.97]; palmoplantar, 60.22 [59.86-60.59] vs. 55.15 [54.79-55.54]) and lower EQ VAS (scalp, 68.12 [67.78-68.48] vs. 69.46 [69.12-69.81]; nail, 66.21 [65.89-66.55] vs. 69.48 [69.14-69.83]; palmoplantar, 66.21 [66.07-66.75] vs. 69.29 [68.94-69.94]) scores than those without the respective challenging-to-treat localization. Patients with nail or palmoplantar psoriasis reported higher pain, fatigue, and DLQI scores than those without. Higher proportions of patients with scalp or palmoplantar psoriasis reported work impairment compared with those without.ConclusionTwo-thirds of patients with psoriasis who initiated biologic therapy had PsA and/or ≥1 challenging-to-treat area. Patients with challenging-to-treat areas had worse patient-reported outcome scores than those without, indicating a significant burden of challenging-to-treat areas on patients' quality of life.

Project description:IntroductionThis study investigated the effectiveness of adalimumab treatment in improving Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in real-world settings in Japan.MethodsThis 24-week, single-arm, postmarketing surveillance study (2014-2017), conducted at 75 centers in Japan, enrolled adalimumab-naïve patients (paid workers, including part-time) meeting ClASsification criteria for Psoriatic ARthritis (CASPAR). The primary endpoint was improvement in overall work impairment (OWI) scores from baseline to week 24. Secondary endpoints included changes in WPAI-PsA (OWI, absenteeism, presenteeism, and activity impairment), Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), psoriatic arthritis screening and evaluation (PASE) scores, Disease Activity Scores in 28 joints using C-reactive protein (DAS28[CRP]), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) scores, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) scores, and PASI75/90 and American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20/50/70 rates.ResultsIn the effectiveness population (n = 106; 72.6% men; mean ± standard deviation [SD] age, 49.3 ± 10.7 years), OWI scores significantly improved (mean ± SD change, - 25.2 ± 35.3; p < 0.0001) from baseline to week 24. Other WPAI domain scores also improved significantly. Changes in OWI were significantly correlated (p < 0.0001) with PASE (r = 0.6284), DAS28(CRP) (r = 0.6059), BASDAI (r = 0.7281), and HAQ-DI (r = 0.6161) scores and were significantly influenced by previous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use (p = 0.0142), and baseline PASE (p = 0.0098), DAS28(CRP) (p = 0.0026), HAQ-DI (p = 0.0004), and BASDAI (p < 0.0001) scores. At the last evaluation, rate (95% confidence interval) of PASI 75 and 90 (n = 100) was 58.0% (47.7-67.8) and 39.0% (29.4-49.3), respectively, and that of ACR 20, 50, and 70 (n = 58) was 86.2% (74.6-93.9), 70.7% (57.3-81.9), and 53.4% (39.9-66.7), respectively. No new safety signals were observed in the safety population (n = 148).ConclusionAdalimumab treatment improved WPAI in patients with PsA. Improvements in OWI and joint symptoms were significantly associated.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02414633.FundingAbbVie GK and Eisai Co., Ltd.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Reductions in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are thought to be exacerbated by the low hemoglobin (Hb) levels that define anemia, a common complication of CKD. The current analysis evaluated the impact of anemia on HRQoL and work productivity in patients with non-dialysis dependent and dialysis-dependent CKD using real-world data. METHODS:Data were collected in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, the USA and China in 2012-2018 in the Adelphi Real World Disease Specific Programme™ for CKD, a large, cross-sectional, survey of physicians and their patients. Patients completed three patient-reported outcomes (PRO) instruments: the EuroQol 5-Dimension 3-level (EQ-5D-3?L), the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL-36) instrument and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire. PROs were assessed by CKD stage and Hb levels, and regression analyses were performed with CKD stage and Hb level as independent variables and PROs as outcome variables, while adjusting for age, sex, CKD stage, comorbidities and cardiovascular risk. RESULTS:Overall, 5276 patients participated in the survey, including 28% stage 4 and 36% dialysis patients. Patients with lower Hb levels more often reported problems/issues on all EQ-5D-3?L domains (p <?0.0001). Regression analyses showed significant associations between lower Hb levels and the probability of low (<?0.8) EQ-5D-3?L utility scores (p <?0.0001) and low visual analog scale scores (p <?0.05), indicating poorer health status. Associations were seen even when adjusting for CKD stage and other potential confounding factors. Significant associations were observed between Hb level and the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) Physical Component Summary, SF-12 Mental Component Summary and the three KDQOL-36 subscales (all p <?0.0001), and were confirmed using linear regression analyses adjusting for CKD stage and other potential confounders. Numerically greater work productivity losses and greater activity impairment were observed with lower Hb levels. CONCLUSIONS:Lower Hb levels worsen the impact of CKD on HRQoL, and are associated with lower work productivity in patients with CKD. Assessment and treatment of anemia should be recognized as a key component of integral CKD management throughout all stages of the disease.
