What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the prevalence of undiagnosed psoriatic arthritis in patients presenting with plaque psoriasis using the PASE (Psoriatic Arthritis Screening and Evaluation) questionnaire based on a score of ≥ 44 on the questionnaire

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Evaluate the positive predictive value between PASE (Psoriatic Arthritis Screening and Evaluation) score ≥ 44 and rheumatologist-confirmed diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis in a population of tertiary Australian psoriasis patients

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluate the proportion of patients within the enrolled patient population with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PASI [Psoriasis Area and Severity Index] > 10)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Evaluate the proportion of patients in a tertiary population with moderate-to-severe psoriasis with respect to treatment history and current treatment

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Describe quality of life (QoL) in a tertiary psoriasis patient population

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Explore the relationship between disease severity and QoL (quality of life) and stratified by the presence or absence of psoriatic arthritis in a tertiary population

    Measured: 14 days
