由于客观测量银屑病严重程度的难度和费用，在人群中关于银屑病严重程度的信息非常少，我们使用经过验证的自我给药银屑病面积和严重程度指数(SAPASI)来确定银屑病患者的严重程度，该人群包括578名大学皮肤科诊所的银屑病患者，并对317名(55%)问卷调查对象的数据进行了分析。与以前的一些研究相比，在我们的样本中，皮肤和关节症状的报告频率如下：瘙痒(95%)，皮肤灼热(81%)，关节痛(69%)，关节炎(51%)，银屑病关节炎(20%)，SAPASI与瘙痒、灼热、关节痛和牛皮癣关节炎的严重程度显著相关，治疗次数与SAPASI显著负相关。这项研究提供了牛皮癣患者群体中牛皮癣严重程度的详细测量结果，并将这一严重程度与人群特征联系起来。
Because of the difficulty and expense of objectively measuring psoriasis severity, very Little information exists on the severity of psoriasis in populations, We determined severity in a psoriasis patient population using the validated self-administered psoriasis area and severity index (SAPASI), This population consisted of 578 university dermatology clinic psoriasis patients, and data were analyzed from 317 (55%) questionnaire respondents. The majority of our sample was women (57%), and non-Caucasians represented a larger portion (8%) in our sample compared with some previous studies, In our population, the reported frequencies of skin and joint symptoms were as follows: pruritus (95%), skin burning (81%), joint pain (69%), arthritis (51%), and psoriatic arthritis (20%), The SAPASI was significantly associated with severity of pruritus, burning, joint pain, and psoriatic arthritis, There was a significant negative correlation between the number of treatments employed and the SAPASI, This study provides results of a detailed measurement of the severity of psoriasis in a psoriasis patient population and relates this severity to population characteristics.
