Popular Treatments of Psoriasis on Social Media: Google Trends Analysis

Popular Treatments of Psoriasis on Social Media: Google Trends Analysis

Notably, two widely used resources in the psoriasis community are the “Psoriasis” group on Facebook and “r/Psoriasis” on Reddit, which collectively have over 110,000 users worldwide. We aimed to analyze the most frequently mentioned treatments on these forums while also exploring how interest has evolved over time. By comparing patient discussions with search trends, this research provides valuable insights into treatment preferences and shifts in public awareness.

Impact of the Mediterranean Diet on Patients With Psoriasis: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Impact of the Mediterranean Diet on Patients With Psoriasis: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Growing evidence suggests that the Med Diet may influence the progression and severity of psoriasis [12,13]. In a 2018 cross-sectional study by Phan et al [14], which included 35,735 participants from the Nutri Net-Santé cohort, 3557 participants had psoriasis, with 878 classified as severe cases.

Ensuring Appropriate Representation in Artificial Intelligence–Generated Medical Imagery: Protocol for a Methodological Approach to Address Skin Tone Bias

Ensuring Appropriate Representation in Artificial Intelligence–Generated Medical Imagery: Protocol for a Methodological Approach to Address Skin Tone Bias

In total, 2 standard AI models, Dall-E 3 [18] and Midjourney [19] were each asked to generate 100 images of skin with psoriasis. A prompt (“a photograph of an example of psoriasis”) instructed the AI to produce an image in a photographic style, as opposed to an illustration or cartoon. The inclusion of “an example of” was necessary to circumvent content restrictions that were occasionally deployed by the software.

AI in Psoriatic Disease: Scoping Review

AI in Psoriatic Disease: Scoping Review

We conducted a literature search from the databases MEDLINE, Pub Med, and Embase using the keywords “AI AND psoriasis OR psoriatic arthritis OR psoriatic disease,” “ML AND psoriasis OR psoriatic arthritis OR psoriatic disease,” and “prognostic model AND psoriasis OR psoriatic arthritis OR psoriatic disease” until June 1, 2023. Reference lists of relevant papers were also cross-examined for other papers not detected in the initial search. RB and MAG screened papers and discrepancies were reviewed by AB.

Google Search Trends About Systemic Psoriasis Treatment: What Do People Want to Know About Biologics and Janus Kinase Inhibitors?

Google Search Trends About Systemic Psoriasis Treatment: What Do People Want to Know About Biologics and Janus Kinase Inhibitors?

Recognizing the internet’s profound influence on patients, our study aimed to examine the most frequently asked questions concerning systemic treatment for psoriasis vulgaris and evaluate the quality of medical information available online. The Google Trends tool was utilized to compare the relative search volume (RSV) of traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, biologics, and small molecule inhibitors used to treat psoriasis between January 31, 2019, and January 31, 2024. Trade names were used.

Development, Feasibility, and Acceptability of the Electronic Patient Benefit Index for Psoriasis in Clinical Practice: Mixed Methods Study

Development, Feasibility, and Acceptability of the Electronic Patient Benefit Index for Psoriasis in Clinical Practice: Mixed Methods Study

They all enhance the management of psoriasis and, thereby, improve patients’ lives [8]. Many PROs are already included in data sets for documenting psoriasis in clinical practice [9], for example, the Patient Benefit Index (PBI) by assessing patients’ treatment goals and benefits [10]. Analyzing patient needs on an individual level facilitates shared decisions by patients and physicians and optimizes personalized treatment [11].

Digital Media Usage Behavior and Its Impact on the Physician-Patient Relationship: Cross-Sectional Study Among Individuals Affected by Psoriasis in Germany

Digital Media Usage Behavior and Its Impact on the Physician-Patient Relationship: Cross-Sectional Study Among Individuals Affected by Psoriasis in Germany

The aims of this study were to (1) examine sociodemographic and medical factors influencing the health-related use of the internet among individuals affected by psoriasis, (2) rank specific digital media platforms and assess reasons for their use in the context of psoriasis, and (3) examine digital media within the physician-patient relationship from the perspective of individuals affected by psoriasis with and without dermatological treatment.

Geographic Disparities in Online Searches for Psoriasis Biologics in the United States: Google Trends Analysis

Geographic Disparities in Online Searches for Psoriasis Biologics in the United States: Google Trends Analysis

Twelve biologics targeting cytokines TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor alpha), IL-12/23 (interleukin 12/23), IL-17 (interleukin 17), and IL-23 (interleukin 23) have been approved for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis in the United States, including most recently bimekizumab in October 2023 [1,2]. In this study, we used publicly available Google Trends data to monitor search volumes for psoriasis biologics, a methodology that has been used in prior studies [3,4].

Risk Factors Associated With Burden of Disease of Psoriasis From 1990 to 2019: Epidemiological Analysis

Risk Factors Associated With Burden of Disease of Psoriasis From 1990 to 2019: Epidemiological Analysis

Country-level indicator data was extracted from the World Health Organization Global Health Observatory database for possible associations with psoriasis [3]. Linear regression analyses were conducted between risk factors and incidence, prevalence, and YLD rates of psoriasis. This paper was conducted using publicly available databases. Therefore, no ethics approval was required. The global age-standardized prevalence rate of psoriasis per 100,000 people in 1990 was 660 (95% CI 637-681).

Automated Machine Learning Analysis of Patients With Chronic Skin Disease Using a Medical Smartphone App: Retrospective Study

Automated Machine Learning Analysis of Patients With Chronic Skin Disease Using a Medical Smartphone App: Retrospective Study

As the educational program alone did not show any influence on these psychological symptoms [17], the use of the monitoring app provided an additional benefit to the mental health of patients with psoriasis. This is particularly relevant given that psychiatric comorbidities are highly prevalent in chronic diseases such as psoriasis [18,19]. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that has systemic pathological effects and is associated with psoriatic arthritis in almost 30% of the cases [20].
