Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To review the literature on validated tools for measuring patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in psoriasis in Spain. To evaluate the psychometric properties of the tools and describe the results of their practical application.
METHODS: Systematic review of studies validating or using instruments for assessing PROs in Spanish patients with psoriasis. Literature searches were performed in international (PubMed/Medline) and Spanish (Medes, Ibecs) databases. We also searched databases of instruments for measuring PROs (BiblioPRO, PROQOLID). The review included studies published in English or Spanish up to January 9, 2017. We also checked the reference lists of the key publications identified. The quality of the questionnaires was evaluated based on their psychometric properties (construct, transcultural adaptation, reliability, validity, feasibility, and sensitivity to change).
RESULTS: Eighteen publications were included. Six articles described the validation of Spanish versions of 5 PROs tools: 4 health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires specific to psoriasis and dermatologic diseases and 1 questionnaire specific to satisfaction with treatment. Our assessment of the HRQoL tools\' psychometric properties showed that the PSO-LIFE questionnaire received the highest scores, although specific properties varied from instrument to instrument. The 12 remaining articles were observational studies that used the validated instruments. In use, these tools detected the high impact of psoriasis on HRQoL, especially in young female patients with severe disease.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified 5 specific instruments validated in Spain for scoring PROs in patients with psoriasis. The tools\' psychometric properties vary, and it is essential to understand their strengths and weaknesses when selecting the right one for each situation. In use, these questionnaires are able to detect the high impact of psoriasis on patients\' HRQoL. PROs provide useful information to complement routine clinical findings in psoriasis and may contribute to improving disease management.
