Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Enbrel as a Biological Treatment in Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is to evaluate available local data in Iraqi patients with moderate to severe psoriasis on Enbrel treatment with regards to efficacy, treatment regimen adherence and patient characterization (i.e. age, gender, smoking status) using data from the Dermatologists in Baghdad Teaching Hospital registry

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change From Baseline in Percent Body Surface Area (BSA) at Month 12 | Four body regions were evaluated: head and neck, upper limbs, trunk (including axillae and groin) and lower limbs (including buttocks). Scalp, palms and soles were excluded. BSA was calculated using handprint method. Number of handprints (size of participant's full palmer hand) fitting in affected area of a body region was counted. Maximum number of handprints were 10 for head and neck, 20 for upper limbs, 30 for trunk and 40 for lower limbs. Surface area of body region equivalent to 1 handprint: 1 handprint equal to (=) 10 percent (%) for head and neck, 5% for upper limbs, 3.33% for trunk and 2.5% for lower limbs. Percent BSA for a body region = total number of handprints in a body region * % surface area equivalent to 1 handprint. Overall % BSA for an individual: arithmetic mean of % BSA of all 4 body regions, ranged from 0 to 100%. Higher % BSA = greater severity of psoriasis. | Baseline, Month 12 (from the data retrieved and observed in approximately 2.8 months of this study) | 
| Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score at Month 12 | DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire that measures the impact of skin disease on participant's quality of life over the last week. Each question was evaluated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much); where higher scores indicated more impact on quality of life. Scores from all 10 questions added up to give DLQI total score range from 0 (not at all) to 30 (very much). Higher scores indicated more impact on quality of life of participants. | Baseline, Month 12 (from the data retrieved and observed in approximately 2.8 months of this study) | 
| Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score at Month 12 | The PASI quantifies the severity of a participant's psoriasis based on both, lesion severity and the percent of BSA affected. PASI is a composite scoring by the investigator of degree of erythema, induration, and scaling (each scored separately) for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk [including axillae and groin], and lower limbs [including buttocks]), with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The PASI score can vary in increments of 0.1 and range from 0.0 (no disease) to 72.0 (maximum disease), with higher scores representing greater severity of psoriasis. | Baseline, Month 12 (from the data retrieved and observed in approximately 2.8 months of this study) | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Percent Body Surface Area (BSA) at Baseline, Month 4, and Month 12 in Participants Adherent and Not Adherent to Treatment | Four body regions were evaluated: head and neck, upper limbs, trunk (including axillae and groin) and lower limbs (including buttocks). Scalp, palms and soles were excluded. BSA was calculated using handprint method. Number of handprints (size of participant's full palmer hand) fitting in affected area of body region was counted. Maximum number of handprints were 10 for head and neck,20 for upper limbs,30 for trunk and 40 for lower limbs. Surface area of body region equivalent to 1 handprint: 1 handprint = 10% for head and neck, 5% for upper limbs, 3.33% for trunk and 2.5% for lower limbs. % BSA for body region=total number of handprints in a body region * % surface area equivalent to 1 handprint. Overall % BSA for individual: arithmetic mean of % BSA of all 4 body regions, ranged from 0 to 100%. Higher % BSA=greater severity of psoriasis. This outcome measure evaluated comparison in % BSA between participants adherent and not adherent to treatment at Baseline, Month 4 and 12. | Baseline, Month 4 and Month 12 (from the data retrieved and observed in approximately 2.8 months of this study) | 
| Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score at Baseline, Month 4 and Month 12 in Participants Adherent and Not Adherent to Treatment | DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire that measures the impact of skin disease on participant's quality of life over the last week. Each question was evaluated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much); where higher scores indicated more impact on quality of life. Scores from all 10 questions added up to give DLQI total score range from 0 (not at all) to 30 (very much). Higher scores indicated more impact on quality of life of participants. This outcome measure evaluated comparison in DLQI score between participants adherent and not adherent to treatment at Baseline, Month 4 and 12. | Baseline, Month 4 and Month 12 (from the data retrieved and observed in approximately 2.8 months of this study) | 
| Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score at Baseline, Month 4 and Month 12 in Participants Adherent and Not Adherent to Treatment | The PASI quantifies the severity of a participant's psoriasis based on both, lesion severity and the percent of BSA affected. PASI is a composite scoring by the investigator of degree of erythema, induration, and scaling (each scored separately) for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk [including axillae and groin], and lower limbs [including buttocks]), with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body.
