Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The negative impact of psoriasis on patient quality of life can be as important as the physical consequences of the disease. We could assume that clearance of the disease would also lead to an improvement in its psychosocial impact. The present study assesses the psychological state of patients with psoriasis receiving systemic treatment in a psoriasis unit, especially those with mild or no disease involvement. We performed a cross-sectional, observational, noninterventional epidemiological study of 2 cohorts (cases and controls). The patients self-completed demographic data and 4 questionnaires (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Skindex-29, HADS, and COPE-28 questionnaire) at a single visit. We recruited 111 patients diagnosed with psoriasis and 109 control patients. In self-esteem, the mean and standard deviation (SD) score was 33.5 (4.8) for the psoriasis group and 33.3 (6.7) for the control group, with no significant differences. In the Skindex-29, the mean score for the psoriasis group was almost 3 times higher than that of the control group (30 vs 11). Significant differences were found in the HADS scores of both groups (12.7 vs 9.0, P <.001). The mean HADS-A scores were 8.0 (4.78) for the psoriasis group compared with 5.7 (3.8) for the control group ( P <.001). In the case of HADS-D, the scores were 4.7 (3.9) compared with 3.2 (3.1) ( P <.004), respectively. Our findings indicate that it is necessary to assess the psychological state of patients with psoriasis, because psychological effects persist even in cases where the disease is almost totally controlled. El impacto negativo que la psoriasis tiene en la calidad de vida del paciente puede ser tan importante como sus consecuencias físicas. Podríamos suponer que el blanqueamiento de la enfermedad conllevaría también una mejoría de su impacto psicosocial. El presente estudio valora el estado psicológico de los pacientes con psoriasis controlados con tratamiento sistémico en una Unidad de Psoriasis, especialmente en aquellos con una afectación leve o nula de la enfermedad. Estudio epidemiológico observacional y trasversal, sin intervención, con dos cohortes (casos y controles). Los pacientes autocompletaron datos demográficos y 4 cuestionarios (Cuestionario de autoestima de Rosenberg, Skindex-29, HADS y COPE-28) en una única visita. Se reclutaron 111 pacientes diagnosticados de psoriasis y 109 pacientes control. En autoestima, el promedio y la desviación estándar (DE) del grupo de psoriasis fue de 33,5 (4,8) y de 33,3 (6,7) para el grupo control, sin diferencias significativas. En el Skindex-29, la puntuación media del grupo de pacientes con psoriasis fue casi 3 veces mayor que la media del grupo control (30 vs 11). Se encontraron diferencias significativas en las puntuaciones del HADS de ambos grupos (12,7 vs 9,0; p < 0,001). Las puntuaciones promedio del HADS-A fueron de 8,0 (4,78) en el grupo de psoriasis frente a 5,7 (3,8) en el grupo control ( p < 0,001), mientras que las del HADS-D fueron de 4,7 (3,9) frente a 3,2 (3,1) ( p < 0,004), respectivamente. Los resultados obtenidos indican que es necesario medir el estado psicológico de nuestros pacientes con psoriasis, pues incluso con un control casi total de la enfermedad la afectación psicológica permanece.
