Non-interventional Study of the Effect of Smoking Status of the Patient on the Success of Etanercept Therapy in Psoriasis

PASI score is the combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score range: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease), with higher scores representing greater severity of psoriasis. Body divided into 4 sections (head and neck [h], arms [u], trunk [t], legs [l]); each area scored by itself and scores combined for final PASI score. For each section, percent body surface area (A) of skin involved was estimated: 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90-100 percent involvement), severity estimated by clinical signs: erythema (E), induration (I), scaling (S); 5 point scale: 0 (no involvement) to 4 (very marked involvement). Final PASI score = 0.1Ah (Eh + Ih + Sh) + 0.2Au (Eu + Iu + Su) + 0.3At (Et + It + St) + 0.4Al (El + Il + Sl), where head: 0.1; upper limbs: 0.2; trunk: 0.3; lower limbs: 0.4.

PASI75 response was defined as at least a 75 percent (%) reduction in PASI relative to Baseline.

Percentage improvement in PASI score from baseline was calculated at Week 12 and 24 in terms of percent change from baseline.

Smoking habit questionnaire that was conducted on Day 1, assessed the data on smoking status of participants. Smoking status of participants was classified as never smoked, current smokers, and former smokers. Former smokers were defined as those participants who had stopped smoking at least 1 year prior to the study.

Smoking habit questionnaire that was conducted on Day 1, assessed the data on smoking which included the age of participants at which they started smoking and the age at which they quitted smoking. Former smokers were defined as those participants who had stopped smoking at least 1 year prior to the study.

Smoking habit questionnaire which was conducted on Day 1, assessed the data on smoking which included the mean duration (in years) of smoking among participants. Former smokers were defined as those participants who had stopped smoking at least 1 year prior to the study.
