Abstract

Purpose of Review

The purpose of this review was to determine the most frequently utilized outcome measures in clinical trials and to review the scoring criteria, advantages, disadvantages, and application in research and clinical settings, as well as provide an overview of the published guidelines on the use of outcome measures in clinical practice.

Recent Findings

The most frequently utilized physician-reported outcome measurement instruments in clinical trials from 2018 to 2019 were Physician Global Assessment (PGA), Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), and body surface area. The most frequently utilized patient-reported outcome measurement instruments were Dermatology Quality of Life Index, EQ-5D-5L, and patient global assessment.

Summary

In research, further standardization of outcome measures may allow for more useful comparison of different treatment modalities. In clinical practice, although, the PASI provides a detailed measurement of disease severity, and the PGA score has the advantage of being more clinically useful to physicians and patients.
