Objectives: Cost of illness of patients with psoriasis (Ps), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and both diseases (PsA+Ps) is an important subject with implications from a health management perspective. To describe the economic burden of direct non-healthcare and indirect resources of patients with Ps, PsA and PsA+Ps in Spain. Methods: COEPSO was an observational, retrospective, cross-sectional study performed in 22 Spanish centres, including moderate to severe Ps and PsA patients (with or without Ps), naive to biological therapies. Direct non-healthcare (social services, home care, physical adaptations, private health and non-health professionals, non-reimbursed and nonpharmaceutical therapies), indirect (loss of productivity) and total costs (direct nonhealthcare and indirect costs) related to the disease during the previous year to the study were obtained (V, 2018). Results: Three hundred eighteen patients were included (196, Ps; 43 PsA and 79, PsA+Ps), mean age, 48.7; 51.3% males. Metabolic syndrome was the most frequent comorbidity in all groups. The average annual total cost per patient was 1,042.
