Infection Risk May Not Differ Among Biologics for Psoriasis
Among biologics used for the treatment of psoriasis, there do not appear to be differential risks for serious infection or respiratory tract infection.
Psoriasis
Use of Antihypertensive Drugs May Increase Risk for Psoriasis
Antihypertensive drugs are associated with an increased risk for psoriasis.
Biologic Agents Reduce Psoriatic Arthritis Incidence
The effect of psoriasis treatment with biologic agents and incidence of psoriatic arthritis is examined.
Body Surface Area of Psoriasis Strongly Predicts Psoriatic Arthritis Risk
Researchers examined the association between psoriasis severity and the development of psoriatic arthritis.
Effect of Tofacitinib on Quality of Life Mediated by Itch in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis
The extent to which tofacitinib affects the health-related quality of life in patients with psoriatic arthritis was studied, based on improvements in itch.
Incidence of Psoriatic Arthritis Increased With More Severe Psoriasis
Progression to psoriatic arthritis is common among patients with psoriasis, with increased incidence observed among patients with more severe disease.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures May Inform Psoriasis Treatment
The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to complement CROs may yield important information for assessing disease severity and guiding treatment of psoriasis.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Risk in Patients With PsA and AS Initiating Treatment With IL-17 Inhibitors
Researchers assessed the association between initiation with IL-17 inhibitors and risk for inflammatory bowel disease in patients with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis
Increased Risk for Cardiovascular Disease in Patients With Concomitant Gout and Psoriasis
Using a population-based cohort, researchers assessed the effects of gout on risk for cardiovascular disease in patients with psoriasis.
Factors Linked to Development of Pediatric Psoriasis Identified
Factors were independently linked to development include atopic dermatitis, family history of psoriasis, skin and fungal infections.
