Scores on the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) range from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating worse disease. PASI 75, PASI 90, and PASI 100 responses indicate a reduction from baseline ...

We randomly assigned patients with a score of 12 or higher on the psoriasis area-and-severity index (PASI, on which scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating more severe disease ...

PASI score is a measure of the level of severity. It stands for Psoriasis Area Severity Index. It looks at 3 dimensions, erythema, induration, and scaling or discrimination.

PASI scores were separated in 5 groups, 0—49, 50–74, 75–89, 90–99, and 100, meaning the percentage of skin cleared of lesions. Nonresponders, ...

HealthDay News — Women have lower median Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores than men, according to a study published online March 24 in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology.

Sixteen weeks into the treatment regimen, 94% of the patients presented PASI 75 response, 76% PASI 90, and 39% were in complete remission (PASI 100). These results were similar in both study groups.

Significantly more patients had at least a 4-point improvement in itch score with icotrokinra at 16 weeks (58% vs 13%, P<0.001) and a Psoriasis Symptom and Sign Diary score of 0 (20% vs 1%).

The percentage decrease in PASI score was 65.3% in the apremilast group and 38.3% in the placebo group, which the authors called a significant difference (P < .0001).

Arguments over the most appropriate PASI score overlook a key issue, said Kim Papp, MD, PhD, of Probity Medical in Waterloo, Ontario. "We should remember that clinical trial results do not tell us ...

Mean PASI scores also showed significant decreases from the 11.6 score at baseline, including scores of 6.5 at week 4, 2.2 at week 16, 1.8 at week 28 and 1.6 at week 52 (P < .001 for all).

Among prior PASI 90 responders, 79% (n=117) regained PASI 90 response and 67% of prior PASI 100 responders (n=67) regained a PASI 100 response. [hmicms_related_articles] ...
