Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Duration of Drug-Free Interval Prior to Treatment Cycle 2 [Cycle 1 Week 24 up to Cycle 2 Week 0]

    Average duration of participant's drug-free interval between the end of treatment Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 was reported in weeks. Duration of drug-free interval was computed as: (date of start of new treatment cycle minus date of last application of etanercept prior to drug free interval plus 1) divided by 7 and it was determined for only those participants who had information available regarding drug-free interval.

  2. Duration of Drug-Free Interval Prior to Treatment Cycle 3 [Cycle 2 Week 24 up to Cycle 3 Week 0]

    Average duration of participant's drug-free interval between the end of treatment Cycle 2 and Cycle 3 was reported in weeks. Duration of drug-free interval was computed as: (date of start of new treatment cycle minus date of last application of etanercept prior to drug free interval plus 1) divided by 7 and it was determined for only those participants who had information available regarding drug-free interval.

  3. Duration of Drug-Free Interval Prior to Treatment Cycle 4 [Cycle 3 Week 24 up to Cycle 4 Week 0]

    Average duration of participant's drug-free interval between the end of treatment Cycle 3 and Cycle 4 was reported in weeks. Duration of drug-free interval was computed as: (date of start of new treatment cycle minus date of last application of etanercept prior to drug free interval plus 1) divided by 7 and it was determined for only those participants who had information available regarding drug-free interval.

  4. Duration of Drug-Free Interval Prior to Treatment Cycle 5 [Cycle 4 Week 24 up to Cycle 5 Week 0]

    Average duration of participant's drug-free interval between the end of treatment Cycle 4 and Cycle 5 was reported in weeks. Duration of drug-free interval was computed as: (date of start of new treatment cycle minus date of last application of etanercept prior to drug free interval plus 1) divided by 7 and it was determined for only those participants who had information available regarding drug-free interval.

  5. Duration of Drug-Free Interval Prior to Treatment Cycle 6 [Cycle 5 Week 24 up to Cycle 6 Week 0]

    Average duration of participant's drug-free interval between the end of treatment Cycle 5 and Cycle 6 was reported in weeks. Duration of drug-free interval was computed as: (date of start of new treatment cycle minus date of last application of etanercept prior to drug free interval plus 1) divided by 7 and it was determined for only those participants who had information available regarding drug-free interval.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score [Week 0, 12, 24 of Cycle 1 to 6]

    Combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score. Body was divided into 4 sections: head, arms, trunk, legs. For each section, percent (%) area of skin involved was estimated: 0= 0% to 6= 90-100%. Severity was estimated by clinical signs: erythema, induration, desquamation; scale: 0= none to 4= maximum. Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each section*area score*weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2, body: 0.3, legs: 0.4); total possible score range: 0= no disease to 72= maximal disease. PASI score at Week 0 of each cycle signifies the disease activity at the time of resumption of etanercept therapy.

  2. Percentage of Body Surface Area (BSA) Affected by Psoriasis [Week 0, 12, 24 of Cycle 1 to 6]

    Percentage of body surface area affected by psoriasis was estimated using the palm method: one of the participant's palm to proximal interphalangeal and thumb = 1% of total BSA. Regions of the body were assigned specific number of palms with percentage [Head and neck = 10% (10 palms), upper extremities = 20% (20 palms), Trunk (axillae and groin) = 30% (30 palms), lower extremities (buttocks) = 40% (40 palms)]. The total BSA affected was the summation of individual regions affected. The results of this outcome measure was summarized separately for participants without drug-free interval, participants with drug-free interval and remaining participants, as per planned analysis.

  3. Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) of Disease Activity [Week 0, 12, 24 of Cycle 1 to 6]

    Static physician global assessment (sPGA) of disease activity was assessed as 0 (no psoriasis) to 5 (severe disease) based on severity of induration, scaling, and erythema across all psoriatic lesions.

  4. Physician Global Assessment of Efficacy [Week 24 of Cycle 1 to 6]

    Physician assessed the effectiveness of etanercept treatment at the end (Week 24) of each cycle as very good, good, moderate, and insufficient.

  5. Patient Global Assessment of Efficacy [Week 24 of Cycle 1 to 6]

    Participant assessed the effectiveness of etanercept treatment at the end (Week 24) of each cycle as very good, good, moderate, and insufficient.

  6. Number of Injections Per Year [Year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

    Number of etanercept injections per year were calculated up to 5 years. 'By year' analysis was not possible for those participants for whom the data of one or more visits was missing.

    Cumulative dose of etanercept per year was calculated up to 5 years. 'By year' analysis was not possible for those participants for whom the data of one or more visits was missing.

  8. Percentage of Time on Treatment in First Year [Year 1]

    Percentage of time on etanercept treatment for first year was calculated. It was calculated as 100% * (365- sum of durations of drug-free intervals in the first year)/365. Analysis was not possible for participants with missing data of visit 1 (Week 0) of Cycle 1.

  9. Percentage of Time on Treatment Over Entire Period [Cycle 1 up to Cycle 6]

    Percentage of time on etanercept treatment over entire treatment period was calculated. It was calculated as 100% * ([Date of last application - Date of first application + 1] - Sum of duration of drug-free intervals [days])/(Date of last application - Date of first application + 1).

  10. Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PatGA) [Week 0, 12, 24 of Cycle 1 to 6]

    Participants were asked to rate the severity of their disease activity on a 6-point scale, where 0 = no activity and 5 = severe or maximum activity.

  11. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score [Week 0, 12, 24 of Cycle 1 to 6]

    DLQI is the dermatology-specific quality of life measure used for psoriatic population. The 10-item questionnaire has a score range of 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating poor quality of life. An estimate of the minimal clinically important difference of the DLQI total score is a 5 point improvement. Total score range: 0 (best) to 30 (worst).

  12. Euro Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) Time Trade Off (TTO) [Week 0, 12, 24 of Cycle 1 to 6]

  16. Average Cost of Treatment by Disease Severity [Year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

    Average costs for treatment with etanercept up to 5 years was calculated in Euros. Disease severity was categorized as mild (0 to 10 PASI score), moderate (10.1 to 20 PASI score) and severe (20.1 to 72 PASI score) at each year. PASI: Combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score. Body was divided into 4 sections: head, arms, trunk, legs. For each section, percent area of skin involved was estimated: 0= 0% to 6= 90-100%. Severity was estimated by clinical signs: erythema, induration, desquamation; scale: 0= none to 4= maximum. Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each section*area score*weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2, body: 0.3, legs: 0.4); total possible score range: 0= no disease to 72= maximal disease. 'By year' analysis was not possible for those participants for whom the data of one or more visits was missing.

Title Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score
Description Combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score. Body was divided into 4 sections: head, arms, trunk, legs. For each section, percent (%) area of skin involved was estimated: 0= 0% to 6= 90-100%. Severity was estimated by clinical signs: erythema, induration, desquamation; scale: 0= none to 4= maximum. Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each section*area score*weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2, body: 0.3, legs: 0.4); total possible score range: 0= no disease to 72= maximal disease. PASI score at Week 0 of each cycle signifies the disease activity at the time of resumption of etanercept therapy.

Title Effect of Drug-Free Interval on Euro Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) Time Trade-Off (TTO)
Description Effect of drug free interval on EQ-5D was determined by comparing the scores of the sub group "Participants Without Drug-Free Interval" to that of the sub group "Participants With Drug-Free Interval". EQ-5D: participant rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life. Health State Profile component assesses level of current health for 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression; 1 indicates better health state (no problems); 3 indicates worst health state (extreme problems). Score of each domain is transformed into a single TTO value using formula developed by Greiner et al and results in a total score range -0.205 to 0.999; higher score indicates a better health state.
