Exploring comorbidity and pharmacological treatment patterns in psoriasis - a retrospective population-based cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals with psoriasis face an increased risk of suffering from various comorbid conditions. However, there haven´t been any studies conducted in Sweden to examine the frequency of comorbidities and the corresponding treatment for these conditions among psoriasis patients.

Methods

The Cosmic electronic medical record represents a comprehensive repository of medical information including all residents of Region Jönköping. To conduct a population-based retrospective cross-sectional study, all individuals diagnosed with psoriasis between April 9, 2008 and July 1, 2016, were identified via the electronic medical records using ICD-10 codes. Data on comorbidity and dispensation of prescribed drugs against these comorbid conditions were analyzed.
