Back to the Future: Looking at the Skin to Predict Death-A Lesson from Psoriasis
Abstract
Noe et al. have documented that an objective measure of psoriasis severity, the body surface area as assessed at a single time point, could predict the risk of all-cause mortality in psoriatic patients. The results have important implications for disease management. Socioeconomic variables may, in part, confound the association between severe psoriasis and increased mortality.
