Treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in adults: An expert consensus statement using a Delphi method to produce a decision-making algorithm.

Background: New highly effective drugs for moderate-to-severe cutaneous psoriasis are regularly marketed, and the hierarchy of treatments thus requires frequent review.

Objectives: A Delphi method was used to enable a structured expert consensus on the use of systemic treatments and phototherapy among adults with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Methods: The Delphi method consists in achieving a convergence of opinions among a panel of experts using several rounds of questionnaires with controlled feedback between rounds.

Patient Perception of the Diagnosis Announcement and its Impact on Quality of Life of Patients with Primary Melanoma or Basal Cell Carcinoma.

An improved understanding of the impact of skin cancer on patients' daily life may optimize disease management. This questionnaire survey of adult patients in real-world settings aimed to assess patient perception of the diagnosis announcement, and the impact of the diagnosis on the patients' professional and personal life. Data from 355 patients with melanoma and 320 patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) were analysed.

CITY-PSO: Prescribing behaviour of French private-practice dermatologists in psoriasis management: An observational, multicentre, cross-sectional study.

Objectives: First, to describe the population of PPDs involved in psoriasis management. Second, to describe the population of adult patients treated for psoriasis and their management.

Pruritus, Pain, and Depression Associated with the Most Common Skin Diseases: Data from the French Study "Objectifs Peau".

Background: The prevalence and impact of pruritus, pain, and other sensory symptoms in skin diseases are poorly known.

Objective: To assess the frequency of these symptoms with dermatoses and their association with depression using data from the "Objectifs Peau" survey.

Methods: A representative sample of 20,012 French individuals was created using the usual quota method.

Psychological Consequences of the Most Common Dermatoses: Data from the Objectifs Peau Study.

The prevalence of psychological disorders in patients with common skin diseases was assessed in a large representative sample of the French adult population. General health, as measured by the EQ5D score, was significantly lower if patients reported having rosacea, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, fungal infections, psoriasis or acne. The proportions of participants reporting being extremely anxious or depressed were higher in those who reported having rosacea, atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis.

The clinical aspect was suggestive of squamous cell carcinoma of the glans developing on lichen sclerosus, but histological examination revealed penile malakoplakia.
