牛皮癣是一种慢性炎症性皮肤病，每个患者的体征都会随着时间的推移而变化。传统上，医生使用各种参数来评估疾病的严重程度：覆盖的身体表面积百分比、红斑、斑块厚度、结垢程度和关节炎等全身症状。然而，仅靠这些临床评估并不能准确地反映疾病对患者日常活动的整体影响。除了受影响地区的临床严重性外，牛皮癣还可能对患者的生活质量产生深刻的心理社会影响。这一概念是多维的，包括人的身体、社会和心理健康，并基于患者对自己状况的看法。
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease in which the signs vary from one patient to another and over time. Traditionally, physicians have used various parameters to assess the severity of the disease: percentage of body surface area covered, erythema, plaque thickness, degree of scaling and systemic symptoms such as arthritis. However, these clinical assessments alone do not accurately reflect the overall effect of the disease on patients' daily activities. Apart from the clinical severity of affected areas, psoriasis can also have a profound psychosocial impact on the patient's quality of life. This concept is multidimensional, encompassing the physical, social and psychological wellbeing of the person and is based on the patient's view of their condition.
