Abstract
Despite aggressive therapy, physical quality of life was worse in psoriatic arthritis patients compared to psoriasis patients. The mental quality-of-life indices were comparable in both the groups and were still below the population norm. These results suggest need for screening for psoriatic arthritis in patients with psoriasis to reduce the burden of physical quality of life and screening for early signs of psychiatric illnesses in both these disease populations.
