Health status and quality of life in patients with psoriasis: an Iranian cross-sectional survey.

Abstract

This is the first study from Iran that assesses HRQOL in adult patients with psoriasis by EQ-5D and EQ VAS. Reduction in general HRQOL measured with EQ-5D and EQ-VAS is considerable, mostly in anxiety/depression and pain/discomfort dimensions. EQ-5D scores evaluated in this study provide country-specific data for economic evaluations.
