- W3048333079 abstract "Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with comorbidities known to increase risk of severe COVID-19, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity.1, 2 Use of systemic therapies may increase a patient’s risk of infections.3 Our study aims to evaluate the association of psoriasis systemic therapy and COVID outcomes. This retrospective cohort study used RPDR, a clinical data registry, to identify patients with psoriasis (ICD-10 code L40) and positive COVID RT-PCR, between March and May/2020. By reviewing medical records on EPIC, active psoriasis prior to COVID was confirmed. The exposure was psoriasis systemic therapy for at least three months prior to COVID. Our primary outcome was a composite of ICU admission, intubation and/or death. Logistic regression assessed the association of therapy status with COVID-19 severe composite outcome (SCO). We adjusted for age and diabetes, based on prior knowledge. In addition, given the small number of outcomes, we used a propensity score (PS), calculated as a predicted probability of receiving or not systemic treatment as a function of all clinically relevant variables. The effect of systemic treatment was adjusted using this PS as covariate in another model (SPSS 20.2, IBM, USA). Our study included 104 patients. Among 37 patients on systemic therapy, 27 patients were using biologics (18, on anti-TNFα; 4, on anti-IL17; 3, on anti-IL12/23; and 2, on anti-IL23). There were 13 patients on methotrexate (10 to 22.5 mg/week). Three patients were taking both. Most comorbidities and demographics were similar between groups. Analysing patients on methotrexate and biologics separately did not show differences (Table 1). There were no significant differences in the SCO or other outcomes between patients taking or not systemic therapies. 8.3% of patients on biologics, 20% of patients on methotrexate and 16.4% of patients not on systemic therapy had the SCO. Older patients and the presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular and renal disease significantly increased the OR of developing the SCO (Table 2). Adjusting for age and diabetes, systemic therapy remained not associated with our main outcome (OR 0.82, 0.21–3.24, P = 0.77). In another model, all covariates became balanced between exposure groups after adjusting for the PS and systemic treatment remained not associated with the SCO (OR 0.91, 0.17–4.81, P = 0.92). Amidst this pandemic, dermatologists have to decide whether holding psoriasis therapies may protect patients or trigger a ‘cytokine storm’.4 In our study, we did not find increased rates of severe COVID in patients receiving systemic therapy. Prior studies have not shown worsen COVID-19 outcomes among psoriasis patients on biologics.5-7 A large Italian study did not detect ICU admissions or deaths suspected for COVID-19.8 Few studies evaluated conventional systemic therapies. One study reported no deaths or hospitalizations in patients using cyclosporine.9 Methotrexate was associated with more hospitalizations in one study.10 In our study, methotrexate did not significantly increase severe outcomes. In our cohort, by requiring confirmation of COVID by PCR testing, patients with more severe infection may have been included and 15 patients were admitted to an ICU, intubated and/or died. However, these proportions were similar in both exposure groups. As expected, increased age, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and renal diseases increased the odds of SCO. As a result of real-world data, patients with increased number of comorbidities may have decreased likelihood of receiving systemic therapy for psoriasis. As an attempt to circumvent that, we used PS analysis, comparing patients with similar chance of allocation in the exposure groups. Detection of COVID-confirmed severe outcomes in psoriasis population and detailed information on significant covariates allowed evaluation of crude and adjusted effect of systemic therapy. Our study suggests that systemic psoriasis therapy does not worsen COVID-19. Larger detailed studies are needed.
