A training tool for the diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis
Introduction
At least 60 million people have psoriasis worldwide.
Misdiagnosis is common, and access to medical care is limited in many countries.
Research into the epidemiology of psoriasis is faced with a multitude of challenges, one of which is the lack of a clinical diagnostic tool for psoriasis.
The global psoriasis atlas (GPA) has conducted an e-Delphi consensus study to develop clinical examination-based diagnostic criteria for chronic plaque psoriasis (CPP).
This has been used to develop an e-learning resource (training tool) for non-dermatologists.
Purpose of the training tool
The GPA collaborated with patients, dermatologists, and other healthcare providers internationally to ascertain the key, diagnostic features of psoriasis. The training tool presents these key features using photographs and illustrations of psoriasis on different skin colours. This is an educational resource (training tool) for non-dermatologists to help them identify chronic plaque psoriasis correctly in any skin colour and in any setting.
