010 Correlation of psoriasis severity with burden of disease cost in psoriatic patients

Abstract

Access to an electronic data warehouse (EDW) of psoriasis patient data is a rich source of information for big data analytics. University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center (UHCMC) employs a central data archive obtained from various primary sources (inpatient, outpatient, billing etc…). Psoriasis is increasingly being regarded as a systemic inflammatory disorder with various comorbid diseases associated with a high burden of disease. We examined whether or not severe psoriasis patients have a greater associated cost-of-illness and determined if any unique patient cohorts (endotype) could be associated with psoriatic patients with differing burden rates.
