Abstract:
AIM: To assess the efficacy of Quyin Koufuye in different types of psoriasis vulgaris and analyzes the relationship between efficacy and various disease-related factors, as well as its complementary role in biologic therapy. METHODS: This study included a total of 396 patients with psoriasis. Based on the patient history, participants were categorized into the biologics group (n=98), Quyin Koufuye-assisted biologics group (n=62), and Quyin Koufuye monotherapy group (n=236). Patient history data were collected, including gender, duration of illness, disease type, initial site of onset, degree of itching, recurrence status and time, smoking habits, joint pain, family history of psoriasis, nail damage, treatment plan, and PASI/BSA scores. A retrospective analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing the efficacy of Quyin Koufuye and to analyze its combined effects with biologics. RESULTS: Combining Quyin Koufuye with biologics significantly boosted the PASI90 response rate to 72.6% (P=0.014). Responders to PASI50 with Quyin Koufuye experienced longer recurrence intervals (> 6 months) than non-responders (50% vs. 33.6%, P= 0.045). Influencing factors included psoriasis-affected body surface area (OR=0.960, P=0.000), prolonged smoking history (OR=2.10, P=0.046), and psoriasis type (OR=2.47, P=0.015). CONCLUSION: This study underscores the synergy of Quyin Koufuye and biologics in treating psoriasis, particularly for longer recurrence intervals-factors like smoking history, psoriasis type, and affected body surface area impact Quyin Koufuye's efficacy.
