The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score is a combination of the intensity of psoriasis, assessed by the erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness) and desquamation (scaling) on a scale from none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3) or very severe (4), together with the percentage of the area affected, rated on a scale from 0 to 6. PASI scoring is performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher the total score, the more severe the disease. Change from Week 12 to Week 24 is presented as a percentage of the Week 12 value: Week 12 value - Week 24 value / Week 12 value \* 100 so that a positive change indicates improvement. Change was adjusted for treatment using a mixed model.
