Quality of life of psoriasis patients measured by the PSOdisk: a new visual method for assessing the impact of the disease.

CONCLUSIONS: PSOdisk instrument proved to be effective and optimal for widespread distribution in the outpatient activity. It also encourages dialogue between doctor and patient; it increases compliance of the latter with regard to the therapy and a desirable improvement in outcomes. A systematic assessment of the impact of psoriasis on patients' QoL is fundamental and must complement the objective assessment in clinical practice. PMID: 28906085 [PubMed - in process]
