Brief Summary

Treatment of moderate to severe Psoriasis (Pso) and Psoriasis-Arthritis (PsA) is largely confined to systemic therapy in Germany. Systemic therapy includes conventional systemic therapy (e.g. fumaric acids, methotrexate, ciclosporin A) and biological treatment (e.g. adalimumab, etanercept). While short- and middle-term efficacy of most systemic treatments has been shown in clinical studies (and is incorporated in international guidelines), knowledge about long-term outcomes, optimal treatment and effectiveness under real-world conditions is still missing. PsoBest, the German registry on the treatment of moderate to severe Pso and PsA started in 2008 and documents the long-term course of patients being administered any biologic or conventional systemic antipsoriatic drug authorized in Germany for the first time. The registry evaluates the long-term course of 3,500 patients with Pso and PsA treated with systemic antipsoriatics.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * patients with diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis or psoriasis arthritis confirmed by a dermatologist * age ≥ 18 years * being administered a specific systemic drug for the first time * informed consent to participate * sufficient language skills (German) Exclusion criteria: * lack of informed consent * patients being participants of clinical trials at the day of admission to the registry (if a patient is included into a clinical trial during the registry follow-ups, the patient data will be recorded, but analysed separately)
