Figure 3. Disease Severity Scores in Current, Former, and Never Smokers.

Figure 3.

A, In the UK cohort, Palmoplantar Pustulosis Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PPPASI) scores are highest in current smokers, intermediate in former smokers and lowest in never smokers. Data are presented as median (interquartile range). P < .01 per Kruskal-Wallis test. B, In the Northern European sample, the proportion of individuals with moderate to severe disease was elevated in current and former smokers compared with never smokers. Physician Global Assessment (PGA) measures severity as 0 (clear), 1 (almost clear), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), and 4 (severe). PPPASI measures severity with scores from 0 (no sign of disease) to 72 (very severe disease). PPP indicates palmoplantar pustulosis.
