Online decision aid for patients with psoriasis

Abstract

There are many treatment options for psoriasis and it can be challenging to choose the best option for an individual patient. Evidence based medicine indicates treatment decisions should be based on the best available evidence, physicians’ clinical expertise and the values and desires of the patient. While guidelines and meta‐analysis support physicians by providing overviews of the evidence, a recent systematic review showed that the patient perspective is often underexposed in consultations with psoriasis patients.(1)
