PASI Score Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Index PASI včera, dnes a zajtra
Od publikovania hodnotenia výsledkov liečby psoriázy pomocou indexu PASI (Psoriasis Area Severity Index, t.j. ukazovatefa rozsahu a závažnosti psoriázy) v roku 1978 sa technické možnosti zobrazovania kožných prejavov výrazné změnili. Zdokonalila sa digitalna fotografia, je možné určit rozsah ložísk počítačom, kolorimetricky zhodnotit farebné změny a hrůbku koze odmerať ultrazvukom. Čím viac však stupa kvalita týchto možností, tým viac sa zmenšuje aj ich dostupnost'. Napriek tomu (alebo právě preto) ostává hodnotenie psoriázy pomocou indexu PASI pre prax stále najvhodnejšou a najpoužívanejšou metodikou. Zlučujú sa v nej teoretické poznatky i praktické skúsenosti so správné vyškoleným okom dermatológa.

Overview
Since publication of psoriasis treatment efficacy evaluation according to PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, i.e. indicator of extent and severity of psoriasis) in the year 1978 the technical possibilities of skin lesions imaging have changed significantly. The digital photography improved, it is possible to measure the surface of lesions by computer, to evaluate the colour changes by colorimetry and to measure the skin thickness by ultrasonography. The higher is the quality of evaluation systems, the lower is their availability. In spite of that (or therefore) the evaluation of psoriasis by PASI remains the most convenient and the most used method in practice. It combines the theoretical knowledge and practical experience with a properly trained dermatologist eye.
