| Summary: | Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with a reduced life-quality. Severe disease forms put the patients at risk for life-treating cardiovascular events, metabolic, and other immune-mediated disorders. Psoriasis patients are often not sufficiently informed about their condition leading to suboptimal treatment adherence and, consequently, worse patient outcome. We investigated the value of an educational program on knowledge and self-expertise about the disease in psoriasis patients in general and dependent on age and disease duration. |
