The study included 306 patients with PPP, out of which 22% had concomitant plaque psoriasis (n = 68), and 7041 patients with plaque psoriasis only. EQ-5D and DLQI were compared between patients with PPP and patients with plaque psoriasis, overall and stratified by sex. A subgroup analysis compared outcomes for patients with PPP vs. patients with severe plaque psoriasis (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index ≥10).
