Association between psoriasis and asthma: a systematic review and bidirectional meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The risk of asthma in patients with psoriasis has been identified in previous studies, but the bidirectional association between the two has not been fully explored.

Methods

We thoroughly searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to find relevant observational studies published from the inception of these databases to October 2023. All the risk and bias assessments were analyzed by STATA 16.0. Where the heterogeneity was less than 50%, the fixed effect model was utilized. While where the level of heterogeneity was more than 50%, the random effect model was applied. Moreover, to identify publication bias, a visual funnel chart, and Egger's test were applied.

Results

A total of 12,396,911 participants from 16 studies, published between 2011 and 2023 w
