PCS score was 43.8 for CU, and 46.5, 44.1 and 40.3 for mild/moderate/severe psoriasis. Health utility score was 0.67 for CU, and 0.72, 0.67 and 0.65 for mild/moderate/severe psoriasis. More CU patients reported depression (39%), anxiety (42%) and sleep difficulties (50%) than psoriasis patients (any severity).
