Abstract

Rationale: Severe treatment-resistant psoriasis and comorbidities are on the rise.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of comorbidities in a  hospital-based cohort of patients with severe psoriases.

Materials and methods: We performed a  retrospective analysis of medical files of 890  patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PASI > 10) treated in a  hospital from 2010 to 2015 (men, 516 [58%], women, 374 [42%]; mean age 51.9 ± 11.6 years; mean PASI, 44.3 ± 7.8  scores).

Results: Comorbidities were found in 61% (543 / 890) of the patients with severe psoriasis, with cardiovascular disorders ranking first (59%, or 516 / 890) and gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disorders ranking second (46,4%, or 413 / 890). Psoriatic arthritis was diagnosed in 34% (303 / 890) of the patients and other disorders of the musculoskeletal system unrelated to psoriasis in 19.8% (176 / 890). The proportion of diabetes was 15.4% (137 / 890).

Conclusion: Psoriasis has a high rate of comorbidities, in particular of cardiovascular disorders. It significantly deteriorates the course of psoriasis and its response to therapy, and in some cases may reduce the possibility of adequate anti-psoriatic treatment due to contraindications.
