Psoriatic Arthritis Quality of Life Scale

The PsAQoL is a disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure of quality of life impact in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a chronic inflammatory condition affecting joints and skin. Developed by McKenna and Doherty in 1997, PsAQoL comprises 20 items assessing the multidimensional impact of PsA on physical function, emotional well-being, work productivity, and social participation. PsAQoL captures the patient's lived experience of the disease, complementing clinical disease activity measures (CRP, joint counts) and providing a holistic view of treatment benefit in PsA research and practice.
