Histogram showing first-year monetized QALY improvements with the label "A Biologic only." The x-axis represents Monetized QALY gains ($), and the y-axis represents Simulated patients (No.). Mean (SD) is $24107 ($7916).

In this economic evaluation, #psoriasis treatments provided substantial patient value, with biologics delivering the largest mean gains, phototherapy remaining effective but underused, and step-therapy regimens achieving comparable efficacy at lower cost. ja.ma/4l56iN1
