          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad, la seguridad, la calidad de vida y la satisfacción de pacientes con psoriasis palmo-plantar (PP) no pustulosa tratados con espuma de calcipotriol y betametasona dipropionato (Cal/BD). Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, prospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes adultos con diagnóstico de psoriasis no controlada con afectación PP para los que estuviera indicado iniciar tratamiento tópico con Cal/BD. Las variables recogidas fueron: demográficas (sexo y edad), antropométricas (índice de masa corporal (IMC)), relacionadas con la patología (Body Surface Area (BSA) categorizado como <10% o bien ≥10%) y relacionadas con el tratamiento (tratamientos farmacológicos previos). Para evaluar la efectividad y la seguridad del tratamiento se empleó el Palmoplantar Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PPASI) y el Physician’s Global Assessment (PGA), y se recogió la incidencia y gravedad de los efectos adversos. Para valorar la calidad de vida se utilizó el Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), así como el Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-14) para valorar la satisfacción del paciente con el tratamiento a las 4 semanas. Las variables de efectividad y de calidad de vida se evaluaron al inicio y a las 4 semanas de tratamiento, calculándose la diferencia en términos absolutos entre ambas. Resultados: Se incluyeron 19 pacientes (11 mujeres) con una edad de 59 (RIQ 11,4) años y un IMC de 25,9 (RIQ 6,0) kg/m2, todos ellos con un BSA <10%, previamente pretratados con tratamientos tópicos (74%; 14/19), acitretino (48%; 9/19) e inmunosupresores (26%; 5/19), entre otros. La mediana de reducción de PPASI fue de 3,6 (RIQ 7,8) (p=0,0284), mientras que la mediana de reducción del PGA fue de 1,0 (RIQ 2,0) (p=0,0047). Ningún paciente presentó reacciones adversas relacionadas con el tratamiento. La mediana de reducción del DLQI fue de 3,0 (RIQ 4,0) (p=0,1592). La satisfacción global del paciente fue de 76,9 (RIQ 32,2) sobre 100. Conclusiones: La espuma de Cal/BD para administración tópica en pacientes con psoriasis PP demuestra ser efectiva y segura, obteniendo un buen resultado en términos de satisfacción global del paciente con la medicación, sin demostrarse diferencias en términos de calidad de vida.

          Summary Objective: To evaluate effectiveness, safety, quality of life and satisfaction of patients with non-pustular palmo-plantar (PP) psoriasis treated with calcipotriol and betamethasone (Cal/BD) foam. Material and methods: Observational, prospective study. We included adult patients with a diagnosis of uncontrolled PP psoriasis in which topical treatment was indicated. Demographic (sex and age), anthropometric (body mass index (BMI)), related to the pathology (Body Surface Area (BSA) categorized as <10% or ≥10%) and related to the treatment (previous pharmacological treatments) variables were studied. To evaluate effectiveness and safety of the treatment, Palmoplantar Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PPASI) and Physician’s Global Assessment (PGA) were used, and the incidence and severity of the adverse effects were collected. To assess quality of life, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was used, as well as Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-14) to assess patient satisfaction with treatment at the 4th week. The variables of effectiveness and quality of life were evaluated at the beginning and at 4th week of treatment, calculating the difference in absolute terms between them. Results: We included 19 patients (11 women) with a median of 59 (IQR 11.4) years old and a BMI of 25.9 (IQR 6.0) kg/m2. All the patients showed a BSA <10% and were previously treated with topical treatments (74%; 14/19), acitretin (48%; 9/19) and immunosuppressants (26%; 5/19), among others. The median reduction in PPASI was 3.6 (IQR 7.8) (p=0.0284), while the median reduction in PGA was 1.0 (IQR 2.0) (p=0.0047). No patient presented adverse reactions related with the medication. The median reduction in DLQI was 3.0 (IQR 4.0) (p=0.1592). The overall satisfaction of the patient was 76.9 (IQR 32.2) over 100. Conclusion: Cal/BD foam for topical administration in patients with PP psoriasis shows to be effective and safe, obtaining a good result in terms of overall patient satisfaction with the medication, without obtaining differences in terms of quality of life.

            Pathogenesis and therapy of psoriasis.

            Psoriasis is one of the most common human skin diseases and is considered to have key genetic underpinnings. It is characterized by excessive growth and aberrant differentiation of keratinocytes, but is fully reversible with appropriate therapy. The trigger of the keratinocyte response is thought to be activation of the cellular immune system, with T cells, dendritic cells and various immune-related cytokines and chemokines implicated in pathogenesis. The newest therapies for psoriasis target its immune components and may predict potential treatments for other inflammatory human diseases.

              Validation of a general measure of treatment satisfaction, the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM), using a national panel study of chronic disease

              Background The objective of this study was to develop and psychometrically evaluate a general measure of patients' satisfaction with medication, the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM). Methods The content and format of 55 initial questions were based on a formal conceptual framework, an extensive literature review, and the input from three patient focus groups. Patient interviews were used to select the most relevant questions for further evaluation (n = 31). The psychometric performance of items and resulting TSQM scales were examined using eight diverse patient groups (arthritis, asthma, major depression, type I diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, migraine, and psoriasis) recruited from a national longitudinal panel study of chronic illness (n = 567). Participants were then randomized to complete the test items using one of two alternate scaling methods (Visual Analogue vs. Likert-type). Results A factor analysis (principal component extraction with varimax rotation) of specific items revealed three factors (Eigenvalues > 1.7) explaining 75.6% of the total variance; namely Side effects (4 items, 28.4%, Cronbach's Alpha = .87), Effectiveness (3 items, 24.1%, Cronbach's Alpha = .85), and Convenience (3 items, 23.1%, Cronbach's Alpha = .87). A second factor analysis of more generally worded items yielded a Global Satisfaction scale (3 items, Eigenvalue = 2.3, 79.1%, Cronbach's Alpha = .85). The final four scales possessed good psychometric properties, with the Likert-type scaling method performing better than the VAS approach. Significant differences were found on the TSQM by the route of medication administration (oral, injectable, topical, inhalable), level of illness severity, and length of time on medication. Regression analyses using the TSQM scales accounted for 40–60% of variation in patients' ratings of their likelihood to persist with their current medication. Conclusion The TSQM is a psychometrically sound and valid measure of the major dimensions of patients' satisfaction with medication. Preliminary evidence suggests that the TSQM may also be a good predictor of patients' medication adherence across different types of medication and patient populations.
