ModuleDescription/notes
PASI and BSAPhotographic examples of erythema, induration, and scale, methods of assessing area score, and BSA instruction.
6-point sPGA, v. 1Erythema, induration, and scale assessed 0–5, then averaged and rounded to nearest whole numbers (adaptation of National Psoriasis Foundation Psoriasis score).
6-point sPGA v. 2Erythema, induration, scale each scored 0–5, using slightly different scale descriptions than v1.
6-point sPGA, v. 3Erythema, induration, scale assessed and a single score of 0–5 assigned (no rounding).
5-point sPGAErythema, induration, and scale assessed individually, then averaged and rounded to nearest whole numbers.
5-point IGA2011 “modified”7Erythema, induration, and scale assessed 0–4. Certification module available (3 examples).
NAPSIDescribes features of matrix and nail bed psoriasis and how to perform this measure.
mNAPSIDescription of the rationale and method.
PSSIAdaptation of PASI for scalp assessment.
PPPASIAdaptation of PASI for scoring palmar-plantar pustular or nonpustular psoriasis.
TPSSAssesses target plaques, scores erythema, induration, and scale.
Dactylitis and enthesitis v. 1Dactylitis background and use of dactylometer; enthesitis background, evaluation using LEI, MASES Enthesitis Index, the Enthesitis Skeletal exam, SPARCC Enthesitis Index, Major Enthesitis Index, and 4-point Enthesitis Index.
Dactylitis and enthesitis v. 2Dactylitis background and use of dactylometer; enthesitis background, evaluation using LEI only.
Dactylitis and enthesitis v. 3Dactylitis background and use of dactylometer; enthesitis background, excludes use of dactylometer.
SynovitisIncludes educational content on joint exam and synovitis introductions, video demonstration of examining joints.
Joint count assessmentPragmatic approach to the tender and swollen joint count.
Axial disease assessmentIncludes background and video demonstration of measuring cervical rotation, chest expansion, occiput-to-wall/tragus-to-wall distance, forward flexion, lateral bending of spine, examination of the hip.
BSADescribes background and rationale for the handprint method of determining BSA involvement of psoriasis.
