| A significant positive correlation of the CRP value with age and disease duration was found, but the coefficient values indicate that the trait relationship is weak. The variable CRP was also positively correlated with the values of the PASI, VAS, and NRS scales. The values of the coefficients indicate that the trait relationship was moderate. They are also significant positive correlation of the HADS-A and HADS-D with PASI scale and HADS-D with BDI. | ||||||||||
