Popis: Abstract Introduction The Understanding Psoriatic Disease Leveraging Insights for Treatment (UPLIFT) survey study was conducted globally in 2020 to understand how disease perceptions, including disease severity, treatment goals, and quality of life (QoL), have evolved recently, especially for mild-to-moderate psoriatic disease. Here, key findings from the UPLIFT survey based on respondents located in the US are presented. Leveraging results from the UPLIFT survey could lead to more effective interactions between patients and physicians and greater patient satisfaction. Methods UPLIFT was a multinational web-based survey of dermatologists, rheumatologists, and patients who self-reported a healthcare provider diagnosis of psoriasis (PsO) and/or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) conducted from March 2, 2020, to June 3, 2020. Results US respondents included 1006 patients (26.4% of global population; PsO only, n = 535; PsA only, n = 72; PsO and PsA, n = 399) and 216 physicians (dermatologists, n = 115; rheumatologists, n = 101). Most patients (66.4%) reported a body surface area (BSA; assessed by number of palms) of ≤ 3; of these, 56.2% rated their disease as moderate or severe. Most patients with PsO felt they were somewhat (40.1%) or very (49.3%) closely aligned with their dermatologists regarding treatment goals. Alternately, most patients with PsA felt that they were not too closely (32.1%) or not at all (59.3%) aligned with their rheumatologists. Most patients reported either a moderate (PsO, 35.5%; PsA, 31.8%) or strong (PsO, 47.7%; PsA, 53.9%) need for better treatments. Across BSA subgroups, most patients (60.8% to 86.1%) had a Dermatology Life Quality Index score ≥ 6, indicating at least a moderately impacted QoL. Conclusions Despite more treatment options, management of psoriatic disease remains suboptimal, with many patients reporting moderate-to-severe disease and impaired QoL, even with limited skin involvement. Results further suggest an unmet need for alignment between patients and physicians in the US to optimize the management of PsO and PsA. Graphical Abstract
