Table 3. Pearson's r correlations between the PASI and QoL in the groups of patients with various temperament profiles.
Level of TRF | Psoriasis severity | Physical symptoms | Functioning | Emotions | QoL (total) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
High-TRF group (n=45) | PASI | 0.53*** | 0.50*** | 0.47*** | 0.55*** |
Moderate-TRF group (n=60) | 0.32* | 0.41*** | 0.39** | 0.41*** | |
Low-TRF group (n=45) | 0.29 | 0.19 | 0.08 | 0.21 |
TRF: temperament risk factor, PASI: Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, QoL: quality of life. Statistically significant (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001).
