Clinical, patient and estimated cost benefits of proactive management versus reactive management with calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate foam for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in Finland.

The analysis found a consistent clinical benefit of proactive management compared to reactive management on all response criteria, and a markedly lower cost-per-responder for the response criteria of mPASI 75, mPASI ≤ 2 and DLQ1 ≤ 1. The analysis was robust to sensitivity analyses on key inputs and demonstrates the cost and clinical benefits of proactive over reactive management of plaque psoriasis with Cal/BD foam in the Finnish healthcare setting.
