Psoriasis is a chronic-recurrent inflammatory disease with a significant impact on patients' physical and psychological well-being. Fortunately, in recent years, the introduction of increasingly selective biologic therapies on the market has resulted in an excellent control of the disease, with high rates of complete (PASI100) or nearly complete (PASI90) in treated patients. At the same time, however, various studies have shown that these patients' quality of life and satisfaction with these therapies do not always correlate with the high levels of efficacy of these drugs, and this is often a limitation, as it has negative feedbacks on treatment adherence. This study aims to identify, through the use of questionnaires, demographic, clinical and psychological factors that might best correlate with the satisfaction of psoriatic patients on therapy systemic with biologic drugs for more than one year afferent to the Dermatology Outpatient Clinics of the Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli-IRCCS.
