Shared decision-making and satisfaction with care in patients with psoriasis: A population-based study in the United States - 10/10/23

Abstract |
Background |
Shared decision-making (SDM) is a critical component of the patient-physician relationship. Although SDM has been reported to improve patient knowledge in other fields, it is still relatively unknown in dermatology.
Objective |
To determine the association between SDM and satisfaction with care among patients with psoriasis.
Methods |
Cross-sectional study using data from the 2014 to 2017 and 2019 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey.
Results |
A weighted total of 3,715,027 patients with psoriasis were identified. The average SDM score was 3.6 (of 4), and the average satisfaction with care score was 8.6 (of 10). Approximately 42% of the cohort reported having a high SDM (score, ≥3.9). Patients who had high SDM had, on average, 85% higher satisfaction with care (P < .001) after adjusting for covariates.
Limitations |
The results of our study should be interpreted within the context of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey database. The ability to measure SDM was limited by the 7 items from Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, which may not fully capture active participation in shared decision-making.
Conclusion |
A majority of patients with psoriasis are not participating in highly SDM. It is important to construct a framework for carrying out SDM efficiently to enhance physician-patient communication and improve patient outcomes.
