Abstract

Objective: Describe the clinical characteristics and quality of life of patients with common psoriasis aged 18 years and older who visited Hanoi Dermatology Hospital from May 2024 to October 2024. Subject and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 158 patients diagnosed with common psoriasis according to typical clinical criteria and/or histopathological criteria at Hanoi Dermatology Hospital. Results: The majority of patients were between the ages of 20 and 60, with the onset mainly before the age of 40 (72.8%). The average duration of the disease was 4.9 ± 3.8 years. Of which, 37.3% had the disease for 5 to 10 years, and 28.5% for less than 5 years; 3.8% of patients had a family history of psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis was mainly moderate (47.5%). Skin lesions were distributed in many locations, mainly concentrated on the trunk, accounting for the highest rate of 91.8% and the head, 85.4%. The patients' quality of life score (DLQI) was mainly from 6 to 10, accounting for the highest rate of 36.1%. Psoriasis patients with lipid metabolism disorders accounted for 32.3%, hypertension 20.3%. Conclusion: Psoriasis patients were mainly moderate, with onset before the age of 40, with an average duration of the disease of about 5 years. Lesions often started on the scalp and were widely distributed on the trunk. Patients' quality of life scores ranged from 6-10, accounting for the highest percentage of 36.1%.
