This study aims to explore the measurement agreement between direct and indirect health utility measures in four chronic dermatological conditions (atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, pemphigus, psoriasis). Outpatients survey data collected between 2015 and 2021 were analysed. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcome measures included time trade-off (TTO), EQ-5D-5L and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).

The relationship between psoriasis and osteopenia remains undetermined. Patients with psoriasis tend to have a higher Body Mass Index (BMI) compared to those without the condition. While it appears plausible that BMI could mediate this association, further study is required to confirm this hypothesis.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and immune dysregulation. Narrow band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy is a common treatment for psoriasis due to its efficacy and safety profile. NOD2 is an intracellular pattern recognition receptor involved in immune responses and inflammation, and its expression is elevated in psoriatic skin.

Ionizing radiation on the skin has the potential to cause various sequelae affecting quality of life and even leading to death due to multi-system failure. The development of radiation dermatitis is attributed to oxidative damage to the skin's basal layer and alterations in immune response, leading to inflammation. Past studies have shown that [18F]F-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography ([18F]F-FDG PET/CT) can be used effectively for the detection of inflammatory activity, especially in conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis, and early atherosclerosis.
