随着美国医疗保健环境的变化，拥有关于美国牛皮癣患病率的最新流行病学数据是很重要的。开发一种心理测量工具，对评估牛皮癣患者的生活质量问题也变得越来越重要。由英国开发的牛皮癣残疾指数在评估美国皮肤科医生看过的牛皮癣患者的生活质量问题上可能并不适用。在这篇文章中，介绍了最新的基于人群的牛皮癣流行病学数据，以及一种新的心理测量问卷的使用，该问卷强调对生活质量的评估，而不是残疾。
With the changing health care scene in the United States, it is important to have up-to-date epidemiological data with regard to the prevalence of psoriasis in the United States. It is also becoming more important to develop a psychometric instrument that is useful in assessing quality of life issues among psoriasis patients. The Psoriasis Disability Index, which was developed in England, may not be optimally applicable in assessing quality of life issues among psoriasis patients seen by American dermatologists. In this article, the latest nationwide population-based epidemiologic data on psoriasis are presented, along with the use of a new psychometric questionnaire that emphasizes the assessment of quality of life rather than disability.
