“…All these may culminate in impairments in work, leading to a loss in employment and productivity. PsA patients are less likely to have work-for-pay (WFP) than healthy controls [ 2 ]. Even when having WFP, the work impairment caused by PsA is reported to be between 24 and 38 percent of total potential work productivity [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Background Psoriatic arthritis can cause pain, disability, and permanent joint damage. This can lead to impairments in work and social participation. Little is known about the extent of these impairments in routine practice. With this study, we aim to examine the extent of work and activity impairment in (subgroups of) Dutch patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and to examine determinants associated with this impairment. Methods This is an observational study using data collected from the electronic health records of PsA patients treated at the Sint Maartenskliniek, the Netherlands. Data about work and activity impairment were collected via the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire. To compare our PsA-cohort with the Dutch general population, we used age- and sex-matched data derived from the Central Bureau of Statistics. Regression analyses were performed to examine determinants of work and activity impairment. Results In total, 246 patients were included, of which 126 (51.2%) were female. Mean age (S.D.) was 55.7 (13.2) years. Compared with the Dutch general population, work for pay (WFP) was significantly lower in PsA (52.9% versus 62.6%, P < 0.001). In PsA, younger age and better physical function were associated with WFP status (P < 0.05). Higher disease activity, worse physical function, and worse mental health-related quality of life were associated with both more work and activity impairment (P < 0.05). Furthermore, reaching low disease activity status (LDA) according to Psoriatic ArthritiS Disease Activity Score (PASDAS; ≤ 3.2) was associated with less work and activity impairment than reaching LDA according to DAS28-CRP (≤ 2.9) (P < 0.05). Conclusions In PsA patients, worse physical function was associated with a lower likelihood of having WFP, and higher work and activity impairment. PASDAS LDA as a goal for treat to target, compared to DAS28-CRP, appears to favour the reduction of work and activity impairment.

“…In addition, patients may be dissatisfied with treatments and healthcare in general. Unemployment rate was also found higher in chronic skin diseases compared to health controls, and a proportion of patients also face a lower earning potential [15][16][17][18]. Dissatisfaction with life has been earlier reported in patients with atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, melanoma, systemic lupus erythematosus and urticaria [19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Subjective well-being in patients with pemphigus: a path analysis

et al. 2019

Background Pemphigus is a chronic autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucosa severely impairing patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). To date, no studies have measured subjective well-being in terms of life satisfaction in pemphigus. Our main objective was to evaluate satisfaction with life in patients with pemphigus, and to analyse its relationship with clinical severity and HRQoL. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out enrolling 77 patients with pemphigus. Subjective well-being was measured using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). HRQoL was assessed by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and EQ-5D-5L. Disease severity was measured by Autoimmune Bullous Skin Disorder Intensity Score (ABSIS). Results Mean ABSIS, DLQI, EQ-5D-5L and SWLS scores of patients were 11.7 (SD 17.3), 5.4 (6.8), 0.84 (0.22) and 4.76 (SD 1.52), respectively. The proportion of patients indicating extreme dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction, slightly below average in life satisfaction, average satisfaction, high satisfaction and very high satisfaction with life was 6 (7.8%), 5 (6.5%), 14 (18.2%), 16 (20.8%), 21 (27.3%) and 15 (19.5%), respectively. Life satisfaction was independent from age, gender, level of education and type of disease. A path analysis revealed that there was no direct relationship between ABSIS and SWLS (beta = − 0.09; p = 0.428); however, the following indirect path was confirmed: ABSIS → DLQI → EQ-5D-5L → SWLS. Conclusions Disease severity and HRQoL measures regularly used to assess patients' health status may be complemented with a measure of subjective well-being, such as SWLS, to achieve a more holistic assessment of patients' lives and optimise pemphigus care.

“…Psoriasis is a chronic disease, easily relapse, noninfectious, painful, destructive, and cripple for which there is no cure, with a large and significant negative impact on a patient's quality of life. 1,2,3,4,5 The cause of psoriasis is still unclear, although there is evidence of genetic predisposing factor. Although it is suspected that psoriasis may be an autoimmune disease, the responsible autoantigen cannot be determined yet.…”

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic, painful, destructive, and disabling disease that has no cure, with a large negative impact on a patient’s quality of life. Sick leave is one of common challenges for people with psoriasis.Aim: To know the absenteeism risk of workers with psoriasis.Method: A literature search using search engine PubMed and Google Scholar was conducted. The inclusion criteria are systematic review, cohort, or case control studies; the subjects of studies are workers; the indicator listed in the title is psoriasis that is not differentiated in any form or type of psoriasis; and the outcome is absenteeism and its synonyms. The exclusion criteria are the articles not written in English, full text is not available, the articles have been used in the recent systematic review, the subjects are blue collar worker or non-office worker, and not relevant according to PICO. Critical appraisal was conducted using standard validity criteria for etiologic/harm/risk studies.Result: A retrospective matched case control analysis was selected with the level of evidence 3b –. Psoriasis patients were significantly more likely than controls to skip working hours (OR = 1.37; 95% CI 1.00 - 1.89; p <0.05) and days (OR = 1.21; 95% CI 0.72 - 2.05) at the previous week due to health reasons. Conclusion: Psoriasis increases the risk of sick leave/absenteeism due to illness than those without psoriasis.

The impact of psoriasis on professional life: PsoPRO, a French national survey

Abstract: The occupational impact of psoriasis is important and significant in patients who receive systemic therapy or have concurrent PsA but minimal or absent in other psoriasis patients. The findings show that psoriasis patients have a high level of motivation to work.
