N. da Silva Burger, K.V. Tran, M. Typou, R. Sommer, D. Neasham, M. Cordey & M. Augustin

Plaque-type psoriasis affects the genital area in 7–42% of patients, and can impose significant quality of life (QoL) impairments. In this case, systemic treatment is recommended regardless of the affected body surface area. This real-world study compared treatment effects and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between patients with and without genital lesions, undergoing apremilast treatment for 6 ± 1 months. Secondary analyses were conducted using data from the observational, retrospective, cross-sectional APPRECIATE study.

The aim of this study was to compare stigmatization and QoL in individuals with AA and AGA in German-speaking (GS) and US samples and identify stigmatization predictors.
