Psoriasis is a chronic dermatological disease with great impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of secukinumab treatment on different patient-reported outcomes (PROs) during a long-term follow-up in Spanish patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis under real-world conditions. Retrospective, observational, open-label, nationwide multicenter cohort study that included patients who initiated treatment with secukinumab in daily clinical practice conditions. PROs assessing disease impact and QoL included Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Patient's Global Psoriasis Assessment, Itch Numerical Rating Scale and EuroQoL Thermometer Visual Analogue Scale. Outcomes, including PROs and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), were assessed at months 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 during treatment. A total of 238 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients had a mean DLQI score of 14.9 at baseline; 78.3%, 73.7%, and 71.7% of them achieved a DLQI 0/1 response at months 6, 12, and 24, respectively. DLQI score was lower in the long term for naïve patients. A sharp decrease in mean DLQI was observed during the first 3 months, reaching a plateau that was maintained until the end of follow-up. Similar findings were observed for the rest of QoL assessments. There was a close association between improvement in QoL and skin clearance (PASI), which progressively increased during follow-up. In this study, secukinumab sustainably improved patient's QoL during a 24-month follow-up, with strongest effects in patients naïve to biological therapies and with a direct correlation with PASI improvement.
银屑病是一种慢性皮肤病,对患者的生活质量(QoL)有重大影响。本研究的主要目的是评估司库奇尤单抗治疗对现实环境中中重度银屑病西班牙患者在长期随访期间不同患者报告结局(PROs)的影响。这是一项回顾性、观察性、开放标签、全国多中心队列研究,纳入了在日常临床实践中开始接受司库奇尤单抗治疗的患者。评估疾病影响和 QoL 的 PROs 包括皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI)、患者整体银屑病评估、瘙痒数字评分量表和 EuroQoL 温度计视觉模拟量表。在治疗期间的第 3、6、12、18 和 24 个月评估结局,包括 PROs 和银屑病面积和严重程度指数(PASI)。共有 238 名患者入组本研究。患者基线时的平均 DLQI 评分为 14.9;分别有 78.3%、73.7%和 71.7%的患者在第 6、12 和 24 个月时达到 DLQI 0/1 应答。初治患者的长期 DLQI 评分较低。在最初的 3 个月内,平均 DLQI 明显下降,达到一个稳定的平台,直至随访结束。其余 QoL 评估也观察到类似的结果。QoL 的改善与皮肤清除(PASI)密切相关,在随访期间逐渐增加。在这项研究中,司库奇尤单抗在 24 个月的随访期间持续改善患者的 QoL,在从未接受过生物治疗的患者中效果最强,并且与 PASI 改善呈直接相关。
