Abstract

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease characterized by mild localized plaques to severe plaques involving any part of the skin; it has a pronounced effect on patients’ quality of life. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), there are limited local guidelines for the management of patients with psoriasis in daily clinical practice.

Objectives: The study aimed to develop consensus statements for the evaluation and management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in the UAE.

Methods: To develop consensus statements, the Emirates Dermatology Society set up advisory board meetings in which local key opinion leaders (KOLs), including dermatologists from the UAE, participated. A targeted literature review was conducted to review current international and regional guidelines on the management of psoriasis, based on which the statements were formulated. A final consensus on each statement was reached based on collective agreement among the KOLs.

Results: Consensus statements were generated with the intention of supporting physicians in clinical decision-making with respect to the classification of disease severity, treatment options including biologic and non-biologic systemic therapies, transitioning and adjusting of systemic therapies, and monitoring and management of psoriasis in special populations.

Conclusion: These consensus statements could provide useful, practical guidance on the diagnosis and management of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and would cater to the needs of physicians in the UAE.

Keywords: Psoriasis, Consensus statement, Dermatology, Medication therapy management, Non-biologic therapy, Biologic therapy.
