Thus, the authors aimed to investigate the association of psoriasis with GT/FT in the Han population in southwestern China.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This study was conducted on 230 psoriatics and 230 healthy controls at West China Hospital. The authors compared the proportion of subjects with GT/FT in the two groups and compared age, gender, smoking, alcohol consumption, age at onset of psoriasis, duration of psoriasis, nail and joint involvement, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, Body Surface Area, Dermatology Life Quality Index, and proportion using biologics in psoriatics with or without GT /FT.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The authors have found a strong association between psoriasis and FT (<em>p</em> < 0.001), and a non-significant association between psoriasis and GT (<em>p</em> = 0.760). Compared to psoriasis patients without FT, the authors found that psoriasis patients with FT were older (<em>p</em> = 0.021) and had an increased frequency of late-onset psoriasis (<em>p</em> = 0.014); they also had more severe psoriasis (<em>p</em> = 0.047) and poorer quality of life (<em>p</em> = 0.045).</div></div><div><h3>Study limitations</h3><div>GT has periods of exacerbation and remission, so the authors cannot avoid a deviation of the prevalence of GT in this study from the true prevalence rate. Also, biologics have been found to lead to remission of GT and FT, which may have influenced the GT/FT ratio in the case group in this study.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Psoriasis was associated with FT in the Han population in southwestern China, attention must be paid to the treatment of psoriatics with FT and skin diseases in patients with FT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7787,"journal":{"name":"Anais brasileiros de dermatologia","volume":"99 6","pages":"Pages 826-832"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141900741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
