Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis belong to the most common inflammatory dermatoses that we treat in everyday clinical practice. AD manifests in more than 70% of cases before the age of 5 years. Approximately one-third of psoriasis patients report on onset of disease in the first two decades of life. Here, we are going to review both disorders in the light of pediatric dermatology. We are going to discuss selected subtypes and present clues for further examination with respect to the differential diagnoses and comorbidities. The article provides insight into current therapeutic developments that are relevant for the treatment of children and adolescents.

Impact of Thyroid Status on Incident Kidney Dysfunction and Chronic Kidney Disease Progression in a Nationally Representative Cohort. Mayo Clin Proc 2024; 99:39-56. [PMID: 38176833 PMCID: PMC10795379 DOI: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2023.08.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between thyroid status and incident kidney dysfunction/chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. PATIENTS AND METHODS We examined incident thyroid status, ascertained by serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels measured from January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2018, among 4,152,830 patients from the Optum Labs Data Warehouse, containing deidentified retrospective administrative claims data from a large national health insurance plan and electronic health record data from a nationwide network of provider groups. Associations of thyroid status, categorized as hypothyroidism, euthyroidism, or hyperthyroidism (TSH levels >5.0, 0.5-5.0, and <0.5 mIU/L, respectively), with the composite end point of incident kidney dysfunction in patients without baseline kidney dysfunction and CKD progression in those with baseline CKD were examined using Cox models. RESULTS Patients with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism had higher risk of incident kidney dysfunction/CKD progression in expanded case-mix analyses (reference: euthyroidism): adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) (95% CIs) were 1.37 (1.34 to 1.40) and 1.42 (1.39 to 1.45), respectively. Incrementally higher TSH levels in the upper reference range and TSH ranges for subclinical, mild overt, and overt hypothyroidism (≥3.0-5.0, >5.0-10.0, >10.0-20.0, and >20.0 mIU/L, respectively) were associated with increasingly higher risk of the composite end point (reference: TSH level, 0.5 to <3.0 mIU/L): aHRs (95% CIs) were 1.10 (1.09 to 1.11), 1.37 (1.34 to 1.40), 1.70 (1.59 to 1.83), and 1.70 (1.50 to 1.93), respectively. Incrementally lower TSH levels in the subclinical (<0.5 mIU/L) and overt (<0.1 mIU/L) hyperthyroid ranges were also associated with the composite end point: aHRs (95% CIs) were 1.44 (1.41 to 1.47) and 1.48 (1.39 to 1.59), respectively. CONCLUSION In a national cohort, TSH levels in the upper reference range or higher (≥3.0 mIU/L) and below the reference range (<0.5 mIU/L) were associated with incident kidney dysfunction/CKD progression.

Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for Incident Hypothyroidism in a National Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 108:e1374-e1383. [PMID: 37186674 PMCID: PMC11009786 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 04/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Hypothyroidism is a common yet under-recognized condition in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which may lead to end-organ complications if left untreated. OBJECTIVE We developed a prediction tool to identify CKD patients at risk for incident hypothyroidism. METHODS Among 15 642 patients with stages 4 to 5 CKD without evidence of pre-existing thyroid disease, we developed and validated a risk prediction tool for the development of incident hypothyroidism (defined as thyrotropin [TSH] > 5.0 mIU/L) using the Optum Labs Data Warehouse, which contains de-identified administrative claims, including medical and pharmacy claims and enrollment records for commercial and Medicare Advantage enrollees as well as electronic health record data. Patients were divided into a two-thirds development set and a one-third validation set. Prediction models were developed using Cox models to estimate probability of incident hypothyroidism. RESULTS There were 1650 (11%) cases of incident hypothyroidism during a median follow-up of 3.4 years. Characteristics associated with hypothyroidism included older age, White race, higher body mass index, low serum albumin, higher baseline TSH, hypertension, congestive heart failure, exposure to iodinated contrast via angiogram or computed tomography scan, and amiodarone use. Model discrimination was good with similar C-statistics in the development and validation datasets: 0.77 (95% CI 0.75-0.78) and 0.76 (95% CI 0.74-0.78), respectively. Model goodness-of-fit tests showed adequate fit in the overall cohort (P = .47) as well as in a subcohort of patients with stage 5 CKD (P = .33). CONCLUSION In a national cohort of CKD patients, we developed a clinical prediction tool identifying those at risk for incident hypothyroidism to inform prioritized screening, monitoring, and treatment in this population.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease that involves a complex interplay between infiltrated immune cells and keratinocytes. Great progress has been made in the research on the molecular mechanism of coding and non-coding genes, which has helped in clinical treatment. However, our understanding of this complex disease is far from clear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation, characterised by their role in mediating gene silencing. Recent studies on miRNAs have revealed their important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. We reviewed the current advances in the study of miRNAs in psoriasis; the existing research has found that dysregulated miRNAs in psoriasis notably affect keratinocyte proliferation and/or differentiation processes, as well as inflammation progress. In addition, miRNAs also influence the function of immune cells in psoriasis, including CD4+ T cells, dendritic cells, Langerhans cells and so on. In addition, we discuss possible miRNA-based therapy for psoriasis, such as the topical delivery of exogenous miRNAs, miRNA antagonists and miRNA mimics. Our review highlights the potential role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, and we expect more research progress with miRNAs in the future, which will help us understand this complex skin disease more accurately.

Risk of Infection in Children With Psoriasis Receiving Treatment With Ustekinumab, Etanercept, or Methotrexate Before and After Labeling Expansion. JAMA Dermatol 2023; 159:289-298. [PMID: 36753234 PMCID: PMC9909570 DOI: 10.1001/jamadermatol.2022.6325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
Importance Psoriasis in children is increasingly treated with systemic medications, yet their risk of serious infection is not well characterized in clinical practice. Pediatric clinical trials for these medications were often small and placebo controlled. Objective To estimate the 6-month rate of infections among children with psoriasis who started treatment with ustekinumab, etanercept, or methotrexate. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study used insurance claims data from clinical practices across the US on children aged 17 years or younger with psoriasis who were receiving treatment with a topical medication for psoriasis and started new treatment with ustekinumab, etanercept, or methotrexate. The analysis was stratified by the time before pediatric labeling (2009-2015) and after pediatric approval (2016-2021). Patient follow-up started 1 day after initiating treatment and ended at 6 months. Exposures New treatment with ustekinumab, etanercept, and methotrexate. Main Outcomes and Measures During follow-up, the frequency of inpatient serious infections and outpatient infections requiring treatment was compared. Event rates and rate ratios were estimated after propensity score decile stratification. Results After exclusions, we identified 2338 patients (1368 girls [57.8%]) who initiated new treatment with a targeted immunomodulating agent. In all, 379 patients started treatment with ustekinumab, 779 patients started treatment with etanercept, and 1180 patients started treatment with methotrexate from 2009 through 2021. The propensity score-adjusted incidence rate of serious infection was 18.4 per 1000 person-years (3 events) for ustekinumab users, 25.6 per 1000 person-years (9 events) for etanercept users, and 14.9 per 1000 person-years (8 events) for methotrexate users. The adjusted rate of outpatient infections was 254.9 per 1000 person-years (39 events) for ustekinumab users, 435.7 per 1000 person-years (139 events) for etanercept users, and 433.6 per 1000 person-years (209 events) for methotrexate users. The adjusted rate ratio of outpatient infections was 0.58 (95% CI, 0.41-0.83) for ustekinumab vs etanercept, 0.66 (95% CI, 0.48-0.91) for ustekinumab vs methotrexate, and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.75-1.21) for etanercept vs methotrexate. Rate ratios were similar during the off-label use era and after pediatric labeling. Conclusions and Relevance Among children with psoriasis who started treatment with immunomodulating agents, serious infections were infrequent. This cohort study suggests that there was no increase in the risk of outpatient infections for children who started treatment with ustekinumab compared with etanercept or methotrexate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent comorbidity in adult patients with psoriasis, but there is a paucity of data on NAFLD in paediatric patients with psoriasis. AIM To estimate the prevalence of NAFLD in children and adolescents with psoriasis compared with age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) and to evaluate risk factors for NAFLD in paediatric psoriasis. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study performed from July 2019 to December 2020 in a single tertiary care centre, which enrolled 52 children/adolescents aged 2-18 years diagnosed with psoriasis at least 6 months previously, and 52 HCs matched for age and sex. Anthropometric, metabolic and radiological assessment was performed for all participants. NAFLD prevalence was determined by liver enzyme (serum glutamic pyruvic transferase) levels, ultrasonography, shear wave elastography and aspartate aminotransferase/platelet index. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the independent risk factors for NAFLD. RESULTS The frequency of NAFLD was found to be 28·8% in patients with paediatric psoriasis compared with 3·8% in HCs. Logistic regression showed that greater disease severity (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index ≥ 10), obesity and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level were independently associated with NAFLD, and thus can be considered risk factors for NAFLD. CONCLUSION Patients with paediatric psoriasis have a higher prevalence of NAFLD compared with HCs. Children who are obese or have moderate to severe psoriasis or decreased HDL-C levels are at a higher risk of developing NAFLD.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a skin disorder which mostly affects adults, beginning in childhood in almost one-third of patients. In adults it is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), while this association is still debated at younger age. Our aim was to evaluate the association between psoriasis and metabolic markers and cardiovascular findings in this age group. Twenty consecutive patients previously diagnosed with psoriasis (group A) were enrolled and compared with healthy non- psoriatic age- and sex-matched subjects (group B). The severity of the disease, CV risk factors, including anthropometric data with adiposity and its distribution, blood pressure (BP), laboratory metabolic tests, echocardiography and vascular ultrasound (transcranial echo-Doppler and carotid artery echo-Doppler with carotid intima-media thickness, cIMT) were performed for each subject. Personal history for CV risk, BP, anthropometric data were similar between the two groups, while familiar history for psoriasis was more frequent in group A (p < 0.02). C-IMT was significantly higher in group A compared to B (right, p = 0.001; left, p = 0.002). In addition, c-IMT was positively correlated with disease duration, triglycerides and triglycerides/glucose. Cerebral flow velocities, cardiac measurements, systo-diastolic function, ventricle geometry and mass were normal and comparable between the two groups, and did not correlate with CV risk factors. In childhood psoriasis c-IMT could represent a marker of pre-clinical cardiovascular involvement and contribute to start a personalized management, while cardiac findings seem to be normal in the early stage of disease. Longitudinal studies can clarify the progression of CV involvement in paediatric-onset psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the skin and is associated with multiple comorbidities with a considerable reduction in quality of life of affected patients. One-third of psoriasis cases begin in childhood and are associated with significant medical comorbidities such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, and psychiatric disorders. In addition, because of its chronic nature and frequent relapses, psoriasis tends to require long-term treatment. Treatment of pediatric psoriasis usually involves the same methods used for adults. However, most treatments for pediatric psoriasis are used off-label, and research in this regard is still lacking. Targeted therapies involving the use of newly developed biologic drugs are also increasingly being applied to childhood psoriasis. This review summarizes the clinical features of pediatric psoriasis and focuses mainly on the updated concepts of pathogenesis and biological treatments of pediatric psoriasis.

Abstract
Background The close relationship between psoriasis and concomitant diseases is widely accepted. However, a comprehensive analysis of organ-based comorbidities in psoriasis is still lacking. Objective The authors aimed to present the risk of organ-based comorbidities in psoriasis by comparing the general population. Methods The authors retrieved a search of Pubmed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases for studies reporting organ-based comorbidities in psoriasis versus the general population. Observational studies that met the following criteria were assessed: 1) Psoriasis diagnosis; 2) Cardiovascular or kidney or liver or respiratory or cerebrovascular outcomes; 3) Comparison group of individuals without psoriasis. Pooled Relative Risks (pRRs) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) were calculated by using the random-effect model. Results Fifteen observational studies with 216,348 psoriatic patients and 9,896,962 individuals from the general population were included. Psoriasis showed a greater risk of organ-based comorbidities. Compared to the general population, pRR for all organ-based comorbidities was 1.20 (95% CI 1.11‒1.31) in psoriasis, and pRR was lower in mild 0.61 (95% CI 0.46‒0.81) than in moderate/severe patients. pRR was 1.20 (95% CI 1.11‒1.30) for cardiovascular, 1.56 (95% CI 1.20‒2.04), and 1.75 (95% CI 1.33‒2.29) for cerebrovascular and liver diseases, respectively. pRR for coexisting renal and cardiovascular events was 1.09 (95% CI 1.01‒1.18). pRR for coexisting renal and cerebrovascular events was 1.28 (95% CI 0.99‒1.66). pRR for coexisting renal and liver diseases was 1.46 (95% CI 1.10‒1.94). pRR for coexisting cardiovascular and liver diseases was 1.41 (95% CI 1.11‒1.80). Study limitations There is heterogeneity. Conclusion Psoriasis has a higher risk of single and multiple organ-based comorbidities than the general population. The present study will further improve attention to psoriasis as a systemic inflammatory disease.

J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2022; 36:1969-1979. [PMID: 35666614 DOI: 10.1111/jdv.18296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Patients with psoriasis are at an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS); however, a systematic analysis of its global prevalence has not been performed to date. Here, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prevalence of MetS among patients with psoriasis. We searched five databases from inception through September 2021 and used the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) tools to assess observational study quality. Stata SE 15.1 was used to perform the data analysis. Subgroup, meta-regression and sensitivity analyses were used to evaluate interstudy heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated using Egger's and Begg's linear tests. The global prevalence of MetS in patients with psoriasis was 32% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.26-0.38). The prevalence in adults was 32% (95% CI, 0.29-0.36), while that in children and adolescents was 9% (95% CI, 0.00-0.18). Latin America had the highest prevalence of 47% (95% CI, 0.43-0.51), whereas North America had the lowest prevalence of 26% (95% CI, 0.16-0.37). Patients with psoriasis vulgaris (29%; 95% CI, 0.23-0.35) or severe psoriasis (37%; 95% CI, 0.27-0.46) had a higher prevalence of MetS than those with other psoriasis types. These findings suggest that MetS should be appropriately recognized and managed in patients with psoriasis. More population-based prospective observational studies are required to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the coexistence of MetS in patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
Purpose To review the literature on guidance on the follow-up of psoriasis and its comorbidities and to provide practical recommendations. Patients and Methods A PubMed search was conducted using MeSH terms and free text keywords related to “psoriasis”, “obesity”, “hypertension”, “diabetes”, “dyslipidemia”, “metabolic syndrome” and “Psoriatic arthritis”. The search was conducted between September 2021 and January 2022. References of selected articles were scanned to identify additional articles. Results Recommendations on the follow-up of hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, psoriatic arthritis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease in psoriasis patients were extracted from the included articles. These data are presented in summary tables for both adults and children. A practical and feasible approach for each comorbidity is discussed. Conclusion Awareness among dermatologists for relevant psoriasis-associated comorbidities is crucial. The dermatologist should function as gatekeeper and screen for comorbidities, in order to make timely referrals when indicated.

Abstract
The key players in different chronic inflammatory skin diseases are cytokines belonging to the IL-17 group, IL-17 receptors and a T helper cell population, Th17 cells. Successful therapeutic strategies that target either IL-17 or the major IL-17 receptor IL-17RA have confirmed the immune-pathogenic pathway. To study the IL-17-ligand - receptor axis at the molecular level, a number of cutaneous cell types from healthy human subjects has been cultured and analyzed for the expression of IL-17 receptors. IL-17RA was the most abundantly expressed receptor type in keratinocytes, epidermal stem cells, fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, hemo- and lymphovascular endothelial cells. IL-17RC and IL-17RD showed moderate expression, while the genes for IL-17RB and IL-17RE were poorly expressed. In none of the investigated cell types, IL-17 ligands caused an increased expression level of the five receptor types in time- and dose-dependent experiments. No evidence for IL-17A, -C, -E or -F induced signal transduction cascades could be obtained by a qRT-PCR and western blot analyses. Further studies are necessary to identify relevant co-stimulating factors from IL-17 subtypes under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a more appropriate general predicate to describe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The new definition lists metabolic dysfunction as an important cause of liver disease, demonstrates the high heterogeneity of this condition, and speeds up the transformation path to new treatment. The incidence of extrahepatic complications and related diseases of MAFLD far exceed that of the liver disease itself, which seriously threatens human health. In view of the current insufficient understanding of its severity, and the imperfect understanding of the disease scope, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of extrahepatic complications, especially the lack of effective drug treatment, this paper introduces and reviews the research status and progress of extrahepatic complications of MAFLD.

Abstract
Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the most prevalent form of liver disease worldwide, accounting for a high liver-related mortality and morbidity with extensive multi-organ involvement. This entity has displaced viral hepatitis as the main cause of severe forms of hepatic diseases, although the onset and transition of MAFLD stages still remains unclear. Nevertheless, innate and adaptive immune responses seem to play an essential role in the establishment and further progression of this disease. The immune system is responsible of safeguard and preserves organs and systems function, and might be altered under different stimuli. Thus, the liver suffers from metabolic and immune changes leading to different injuries and loss of function. It has been stablished that cell-cell crosstalk is a key process in the hepatic homeostasis maintenance. There is mounting evidence suggesting that MAFLD pathogenesis is determined by a complex interaction of environmental, genetic and host factors that leads to a full plethora of outcomes. Therefore, herein we will revisit and discuss the interplay between immune mechanisms and MAFLD, highlighting the potential role of immunological markers in an attempt to clarify its relationship.

Abstract
Background: Psoriasis is a polygenic multifactorial immune-mediated skin disease associated with comorbidities. As one-third of adult psoriasis starts during childhood, early detection of these comorbidities might help to mitigate their impact on future health. Objectives: To investigate the risk for cardiovascular events and their relationship with psoriasis severity among Iraqi children and adolescents. Patients and methods: A prospective, case-control, cross-sectional study on 150 patients with psoriasis and 150 age and sex-matched individuals. The study was carried out at the Department of Dermatology/Basra Teaching Hospital from December 2018 to December 2020. Psoriasis severity was assessed by PASI (psoriasis area severity index) score, and in both groups, blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) were measured. Laboratory tests including fasting blood sugar (FBS) and lipid profile were also done. Results: More patients were overweight and obese in the psoriatic group compared to the control group (26.7% and 40% versus 11% and 8%), 5.3% of psoriatic patients who had stage 2 hypertension (defined as any blood pressure [BP] measurement higher than 99th plus 5 mm of mercury applied to BP levels for boys and girls by age and height percentile charts), none of the control group was hypertensive, and the difference was statistically significant (p-value<0.05). A significantly higher proportion of the psoriatic patients had abnormal lipid profiles compared with the control group, 62% versus 30% (p<0.05), 15.3% versus 6.7% had elevated cholesterol (p<0.05), 24.7% versus 8% had raised low-density lipoprotein (LDL, p<0.05), 18% versus 8.6% had low high-density lipoprotein (HDL, p<0.05), and 12.6% versus 6% had elevated very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglyceride (TG, p<0.05), 8% patients had elevated FBS (more than 100 mg per deciliter) versus 2.6% (p<0.05), and metabolic syndrome in 65 versus 2% (p<0.05). These changes were related to the severity of psoriasis. Conclusions: Pediatric psoriatic patients in our population may have an atherogenic lipid profile with an increased prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, especially those with moderate to severe psoriasis.

Abstract
Childhood psoriasis is recognized as a potential multisystem disorder and hence it is imperative to optimize disease management to arrest progression, minimize psychological burden and evolution of metabolic syndrome. Clinical practice recommendations are necessary to assist practitioners in appropriate decision making based on available evidence. Owing to the lack of Indian recommendations on childhood psoriasis, the SIG Pediatric Dermatology under IADVL Academy undertook an evidence-based approach based on published literature on the topic, between January 2000 and July 2020 to frame the recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis affects 0.13%-2.1% of children and adolescents. Despite a high unmet need, the current treatment options approved for pediatric psoriasis are limited. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 secukinumab dosage regimens (low dose: 75/75/150 mg; high dose: 75/150/300 mg) stratified and randomized by weight (<25 kg, 25 to <50 kg, ≥50 kg) and disease severity (moderate, severe) in pediatric patients aged 6-<18 years with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS This is a phase 3, open-label, randomized, multicenter study (NCT03668613). RESULTS Both secukinumab doses were superior to historical placebo with respect to psoriasis area and severity index (PASI)-75/90 and investigator global assessment 0/1 responses at week 12. The estimated probability of a positive treatment effect (ie, log odds ratio > 0) for low- or high-dose secukinumab compared to historical placebo is 1 (ie, 100%). For the low and high doses at week 12, the investigator global assessment 0/1 response rates were 78.6% and 83.3%, respectively, and the PASI-90 response rates were 69% and 76.2%, respectively. The PASI-75 response rate was 92.9% for both the doses. LIMITATIONS This is an open-label study design without a control arm. CONCLUSION Secukinumab dosing regimens were efficacious and well tolerated in pediatric patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving the periodontium. The precise nature of the association between periodontitis and psoriasis has not been determined. OBJECTIVE This nationwide population-based study investigated the relationship between periodontitis and the risk of psoriasis. METHODS A health screening database, which is a sub-dataset of the Korean National Health Insurance System database, was used in this study. Subjects with (n = 1,063,004) and without (n = 8,655,587) periodontitis who underwent health examinations from January to December 2009 were followed for 9 years. RESULTS In multivariable analysis, compared to the non-periodontitis group, periodontitis patients had a significantly higher risk of developing psoriasis (hazard ratio 1.116, 95% confidence interval 1.101-1.13). Non-smokers with periodontitis had an 11% increase in risk of psoriasis and smokers with periodontitis had a 26.5% increase in risk of psoriasis compared to non-smokers without periodontitis. CONCLUSION Our study highlights periodontitis as a potential independent risk factor for psoriasis, increasing awareness of the synergistic role of smoking and periodontitis in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease characterized by abnormal T cell activation and excessive proliferation of keratinocytes. In addition to skin manifestations, psoriasis has been associated with multiple metabolic comorbidities, such as obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. An increasing amount of evidence has highlighted the core role of adipokines in adipose tissue and the immune system. This review focus on the role of adiponectin in the pathophysiology of psoriasis and its comorbidities, highlighting the future research avenues.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are limited real-world data on treatment patterns, comorbidities, and healthcare burden in pediatric patients with psoriasis. We examined patient demographics, comorbidity burden, treatment patterns, and healthcare use and costs in pediatric psoriasis. METHODS A retrospective, real-world, exploratory study was conducted using US claims databases. Pediatric patients aged < 18 years with newly diagnosed psoriasis (index date) were selected from IBM® MarketScan® databases (2016-2018). Patients were enrolled continuously for ≥ 12 months pre- and post-index date. Pre-index demographics, comorbidity, treatment drug classes prescribed, and post-index healthcare resource utilization and costs were studied. Study measures are reported for total population and by severity (categorized as mild and moderate-to-severe psoriasis). Variables were compared using t-test (continuous) or chi-square and Fisher's exact test (categorical). RESULTS Overall, 4754 pediatric patients with psoriasis (58.3% females) met the selection criteria and were included in the study. Mean and standard deviation (SD) age was 12.6 (3.7) years on index date, with 13.4% patients having moderate-to-severe psoriasis. The mean (SD) Deyo-Charlson Comorbidity Index was 0.14 (0.40); anxiety (6.6%), depression (4.1%), and obesity (3.9%) were the most prevalent comorbidities observed. Topical treatments were prescribed to most patients as first-line treatment of mild (79.1%) and moderate-to-severe (52.0%) psoriasis. Other first-line therapies prescribed in moderate-to-severe cases included non-biologic systemics (21.0%), phototherapy (15.0%), and biologics (9.2%). Healthcare use and costs increased with psoriasis severity during the post-index period. Mean annual total all-cause costs per patient were higher for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis compared with mild psoriasis ($27,541 vs. $5,034; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Psychiatric, metabolic, and inflammatory disorders were observed comorbidities in pediatric patients with psoriasis. For moderate-to-severe psoriasis, topicals, phototherapy, and biologics were a common first-, second-, and third-line treatment sequence. Higher unadjusted healthcare costs by severity were driven by outpatient prescription costs.

Abstract
Background An evident relationship has been shown between psoriasis and metabolic comorbidities. However, the results in pediatric psoriasis vary from study to study, and no meta-analysis exists on the association of metabolic comorbidities with pediatric psoriasis. Objective To evaluate the association between psoriasis and metabolic comorbidities in pediatric patients. Methods We searched articles published in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to April 30, 2019. All observational studies reporting the prevalence of obesity or metabolic comorbidities in pediatric patients with psoriasis were included. Results The meta-analysis included 16 unique studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The pooled odds ratios in pediatric patients with psoriasis was 2.40 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.60~3.59) for obesity (13 studies), 2.73 (95% CI, 1.79~4.17) for hypertension (8 studies), 2.01 (95% CI, 1.09~3.73) for diabetes mellitus (8 studies), 1.67 (95% CI, 1.42~1.97) for dyslipidemia (7 studies), and 7.49 (95% CI, 1.86~30.07) for metabolic syndrome (4 studies). Conclusion Pediatric patients with psoriasis showed a significantly higher prevalence of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. Adequate monitoring and timely management of metabolic comorbidities should be considered in these patients.

Abstract
Psoriasis, which affects up to 2% of children may be associated with significant comorbidity, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, and reduced quality of life. Screening and decision-making require a multidisciplinary approach with the management of potential comorbidities championed by primary care providers and supported by respective specialists and subspecialists. Research into the comorbidities and systemic manifestations has generated significant data culminating in several proposals for a consensus guideline for both pediatric and nonpediatric populations. Our aim is to provide a summary targeted to the pediatric primary care provider from the best available evidence when caring for children with psoriasis.

Abstract
Taodan granules (TDGs) are clinically efficacious for treating psoriasis, buttheir specific mechanisms of action are unclear. In this study, we determined the concentrations of tanshinone IIA and curcumol using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to establish quality control parameters for assessing the mechanism of TDGs in treating psoriasis. Thereafter, a mouse model of psoriasis was treated with TDGs. TDGs attenuated imiquimod-induced typical erythema, scales, and thickening of the back and ear lesions in the psoriatic mouse model. Furthermore, PCNA and Ki67-positive cells were reduced in the epidermis of psoriatic lesions following TDG treatment. Finally, the sequencing results were verified using a multitude of methods, and the mechanism of action of TDGs against psoriasis was found to be via the upregulation of metabolic signaling pathways such as the Gly-Ser-Thr axis, the downregulation of immune and inflammatory pathways, and the decrease in Rac2 and Arhgdib concentrations. Overall, this study clarified the mechanism of TDG treatment for psoriasis and provided evidence for its clinical application.

Abstract
Background Secukinumab has demonstrated sustained long‐term efficacy with a favourable safety profile in various psoriatic disease manifestations in adults. Objectives Here, the efficacy and safety of two secukinumab dosing regimens [low dose (LD) and high dose (HD)] in paediatric patients with severe chronic plaque psoriasis over one year are reported. Methods In this multicentre, double‐blind study (NCT02471144), patients aged 6 to <18 years with severe chronic plaque psoriasis were stratified and randomized by weight (<25 kg, 25 to <50 kg, ≥50 kg) and age (6 to <12 years, 12 to <18 years) to receive low‐dose (LD: 75/75/150 mg) or high‐dose (HD: 75/150/300 mg) subcutaneous secukinumab or placebo or etanercept 0.8 mg/kg (up to a max of 50 mg). Results Overall, 162 patients were randomized to receive secukinumab LD (n = 40) or HD (n = 40), etanercept (n = 41) or placebo (n = 41). The co‐primary objectives of the study were met with both secukinumab doses (LD and HD) showing superior efficacy compared to placebo (P < 0.0001) with respect to PASI 75 response (80.0%, 77.5% vs. 14.6%) and IGA mod 2011, 0 or 1 response (70%, 60% vs. 4.9%) at Week 12. Both secukinumab doses were superior to placebo (P < 0.0001) with respect to PASI 90 response at Week 12 (72.5%, 67.5% vs. 2.4%). The efficacy of both doses was sustained to Week 52 with secukinumab achieving higher responses vs. etanercept (PASI 75/90/100: LD, 87.5%/75.0%/40.0% and HD, 87.5%/80.0%/47.5.% vs. etanercept, 68.3%/51.2%/22.0% and IGA 0 or 1: LD, 72.5% and HD, 75.0% vs. etanercept, 56.1%). The safety profile of secukinumab was consistent with the adult Phase 3 studies, with no new safety signals identified. Conclusions Both doses of secukinumab demonstrated high and sustained efficacy up to Week 52 with a favourable safety profile in paediatric patients with severe chronic plaque psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis in adults is associated with an increased risk of metabolic disease. Various cardiometabolic comorbidities have been reported in childhood psoriasis, but only a few studies have analyzed the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. We performed a single-center prospective study investigating the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in children with psoriasis. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was evaluated in 60 pre-pubertal children with psoriasis (age: 3-10 years), accordingly to recently established criteria for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in children. Insulin resistance was considered altered when the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) for insulin resistance was ≥ 90th sex- and age-specific percentile and HOMA 2-IR was > 1.8. Eighteen (30%) children with psoriasis were found to have metabolic syndrome. Sixteen (27%) children were found to have insulin resistance.Conclusion: Our data underline the importance of assessing metabolic syndrome not only in adults and adolescents but also in young children with psoriasis. What is Known: • Psoriasis in adults is strongly associated with metabolic disease and insulin resistance. • Very limited data are available on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in pre-pubertal children with psoriasis. What is New: • This study reports that in pre-pubertal children with psoriasis, there is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. • In children with psoriasis metabolic syndrome risk factors should be assessed.

Abstract
Topical and systemic retinoids have long been used in the treatment of ichthyoses and other disorders of cornification. Due to the need for long-term use of retinoids for these disorders, often beginning in childhood, numerous clinical concerns must be considered. Systemic retinoids have known side effects involving bone and eye. Additionally, potential psychiatric and cardiovascular effects need to be considered. Contraceptive concerns, as well as the additive cardiovascular and bone effects of systemic retinoid use with hormonal contraception must also be deliberated for patients of childbearing potential. The Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA) Use of Retinoids in Ichthyosis Work Group was formed to address these issues and to establish best practices regarding the use of retinoids in ichthyoses based on available evidence and expert opinion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Paediatric plaque psoriasis (PedPso) in children and adolescents is often diagnosed and treated for the first time by paediatricians. An early onset of psoriasis is associated with a genetic family burden, higher severity of disease and increased risk of comorbidities, sometimes starting in childhood. However, little information is available on prevalence data and the clinical management of PedPso by paediatricians. METHODS A total of 191 questionnaires were sent out to paediatricians regarding their management of PedPso, with a focus on prevalence, diagnosis, initiation of therapies, screening for comorbidities and collaboration with dermatologists. Of these, 95 (49.7%) were returned and evaluated anonymously. RESULTS Only about one-half of the responding paediatricians reported being certain in their diagnosis of PedPso, even though they regularly see moderate-to-severely affected patients. The questionnaire revealed that there are clear differences in the general management of PedPso if the paediatrician is not certain of the diagnosis of psoriasis. Compared to paediatricians certain of their diagnosis, those who are uncertain less frequently perform whole-body inspection, screen for relevant comorbidities, such as psoriasis arthritis, metabolic syndrome or mental disorders, and prescribe the use of topical or systemic therapies. No responding paediatrician reported the use of modern systemic therapies, such as biologicals, even in severely affected children. The majority of respondents rated their cooperation with dermatologists as good. CONCLUSION The certainty of the diagnosis, the use of system therapies and the screening for comorbidity could improve the care of PedPso through targeted training of paediatricians and intensified interdisciplinary cooperation with dermatologist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES There is an increasing volume of evidence which supports the link between psoriasis and cardiometabolic risk including obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and myocardial infarction. Although one-third to one-half of psoriasis cases start during childhood, it is unclear whether childhood psoriasis is similarly associated with a cardiometabolic risk profile. METHODS Electronic database searches were performed to identify studies comparing the proportion of pediatric psoriasis cases with controls in terms of dichotomous outcomes including the proportion of patients with overweight BMI, obese BMI, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, ischemic heart disease, or heart failure; continuous outcomes recorded include BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. RESULTS A statistically significant association was found between pediatric psoriasis and overweight/obesity as well as waist:height ratio >0.5, in addition to metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and cardiac ischemia and failure. The association with obesity is dependent on the severity of disease, where moderate-severe psoriasis patients have higher odds of obesity compared to mild psoriasis. CONCLUSIONS Our systematic review and pooled meta-analysis demonstrate a significant association between childhood psoriasis and obesity, central adiposity, and other cardiometabolic comorbidities. Clinicians should consider the assessment of comorbidities in children with psoriasis, which may allow for early lifestyle interventions and education.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects 2–3% of the global population and requires an effective treatment. Frankincense has been long known for its potent anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, a structural bioinformatics approach was used to evaluate the efficacy of individual active components of frankincense, macrocyclic diterpenoid derivatives (1-27), and boswellic acids (28-46) in the treatment of psoriasis. Initially, major druggable targets of psoriasis were identified. Subsequently, structure-based screening was employed by using three different docking algorithms and scoring functions (MOE, AutoDock Vina, and MVD) for the target fishing of compounds against 18 possible targets of psoriasis. Janus Kinase 1, 2, 3 (JAK 1/2/3), eNOS, iNOS, interleukin-17 (IL-17), and Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were identified as the preferred molecular targets for these compounds. This computational analysis reflects that frankincense diterpenoids and triterpenoids can serve as excellent anti-psoriatic agents by targeting major cytokines (TNF-α, IL-17, IL-13, IL-23, and IL-36γ,) exacerbated in psoriasis, and inflammatory pathways particularly JAK1/2/3, eNOS, iNOS, MAPK2, and IFNγ. The results were compared with the reported experimental findings which correlates well with our in-silico verdicts.

BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory, multi-system disease that often begins in childhood and characterised by inflammatory skin, nails, scalp, and joint manifestations. The inflammation in psoriasis may promote some effect on the cardiac conduction system. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate myocardial repolarisation anomaly on the conducting system in the paediatric psoriasis using P wave dispersion, Tpeak-Tend interval, and Tp-e/QT ratio. METHODS Forty-two patients diagnosed with psoriasis and 37 age- and sex-matched healthy children were enrolled in the study. Electrocardiographic parameters in psoriasis and control group were recorded from an electrocardiogram for each patient. RESULTS The results indicated that the parameters including Pdis, QTc dis, Tp-e dis interval, and Tp-e max/QTmax ratios, which are known to be key indicators for the prediction of severe atrial or ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death and also important parameters used as the indicators for the non-invasive evaluation of the transmural heterogeneity were significantly longer in the study group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study includes the evidence linking psoriasis with increased myocardial repolarisation heterogeneity. These findings suggest that this patient population may be at an increased risk for arrhythmias. Our findings may be a basis for further studies.

Abstract
The present guidelines are aimed at residents and board-certified physicians in the fields of dermatology, pediatrics, pediatric dermatology and pediatric rheumatology as well as policymakers and insurance funds. They were developed by dermatologists and pediatric dermatologists in collaboration with pediatric rheumatologists using a formal consensus process (S2k). The guidelines highlight topics such as disease severity, quality of life, treatment goals as well as problems associated with off-label drug therapy in children. Trigger factors and diagnostic aspects are discussed. The primary focus is on the various topical, systemic and UV-based treatment options available and includes recommendations for use and treatment algorithms. Other aspects addressed herein include vaccinations in children and adolescents with psoriasis as well as various disease subtypes such as guttate psoriasis, diaper psoriasis, pustular psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Finally, we also provide recommendations for imaging studies and the diagnostic workup to rule out tuberculosis prior to initiating systemic treatment. Note: This article constitutes part 1 of the Sk2 guidelines for the treatment of psoriasis in children and adolescents. Part 2 will be published in the next issue. It contains chapters on UV therapy, systemic treatment, tonsillectomy and antibiotics, vaccinations, guttate psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, complementary medicine, as well as imaging studies and diagnostic workup to rule out tuberculosis prior to systemic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical studies on psoriasis in adolescents have mainly been performed in patients with severe psoriasis. Population-based studies of clinical characteristics and risk factors for later cardiovascular and metabolic disease in children and adolescents are lacking. OBJECTIVES To examine the clinical characteristics of adolescents with psoriasis nested in a general population cohort. Furthermore, to investigate cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in the adolescents with psoriasis compared to parentally predisposed and non-predisposed adolescents without psoriasis from the same birth cohort. METHODS We identified adolescents with and without psoriasis using a nationwide general population birth cohort in Denmark. A clinical examination included skin inspection and scoring of psoriasis severity, completion of a questionnaire on psoriasis and comorbidities, physical measurements, and blood sampling. Participants also completed self-administered questionnaires on quality of life and mental health. RESULTS We included 81 adolescents with psoriasis and 234 controls (110 with genetic predisposition for psoriasis and 124 without predisposition). Median age was 15.6 (13.5-18.5) years, and in those with active psoriasis, median Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score was 1.2 (0.1-11.4). The scalp was the most common site of psoriasis, both at debut and at time of examination. Diaper rash in infancy was more frequent in the psoriasis group. No significant differences regarding quality of life, anxiety and depression were found. More adolescents with psoriasis were obese (8.6% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.008), and physical measures of abdominal obesity were also significantly higher. HbA1c was significantly higher (31.55 vs. 30.81 mmol/mol, P = 0.048), while no differences were found for blood pressure, lipids or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. In a subgroup analysis, this was evident in the non-predisposed psoriasis-free controls only. CONCLUSIONS Overall, adolescents with psoriasis from this general population had mild disease. Still, early markers of cardiovascular and metabolic disease were elevated.

Abstract
PURPOSE Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that frequently debuts in childhood and adolescence. We wished to determine environmental and genetic risk factors for the development of psoriasis in children and adolescents, as well as to investigate debut type, trigger factors, course of disease, nature and influence of stress related to both child and family and risk factors for comorbidity. The 'Psoriasis in Adolescents' (PIA) cohort will provide data on the relationship between psoriasis and, respectively, genetic disposition, early-life exposures, quality of life and comorbidity. PARTICIPANTS The PIA cohort is nested in the large general population Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC). We invited 390 adolescents with psoriasis and corresponding maternally predisposed and non-predisposed controls. Participants underwent an interview and a clinical examination consisting of a skin inspection and physical measurements including blood sampling and microbiological swabs. Additionally, four self-administered questionnaires on physical and mental health were completed. FINDINGS TO DATE The final PIA cohort consists of 81 adolescents with psoriasis, 110 parentally predisposed and 124 non-predisposed psoriasis-free adolescents. The validity of the maternally reported psoriasis status from the DNBC was found to be low on clinical examination (47.5%). In contrast, the self-reported psoriasis status of the DNBC mothers was clinically confirmed in 80.8% of the cases. FUTURE PLANS The PIA cohort offers the possibility of assessing the clinical characteristics, course of psoriasis and development of comorbidities in adolescents with clinically confirmed disease from a general population. Comparison with predisposed and non-predisposed controls is possible and genetic analyses are scheduled. We plan to invite the participants for a follow-up in 5-10 years. Furthermore, we plan to include newly diagnosed adolescents with psoriasis from the 18-year DNBC follow-up. All information is linkable on the individual level with data from the DNBC and nationwide registries in Denmark.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide and its incidence is definitely increasing. NAFLD is a metabolic disease with extensive multi-organ involvement, whose extra-hepatic manifestations include type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Recently, further evidence has given attention to pathological correlations not strictly related to metabolic disease, also incorporating in this broad spectrum of systemic involvement hypothyroidism, psoriasis, male sexual dysfunction, periodontitis, and urolithiasis. The most common cause of mortality in NAFLD is represented by cardiovascular disease, followed by liver-related complications. Therefore, clinicians should learn to screen and initiate treatment for these extra-hepatic manifestations, in order to provide appropriate multidisciplinary assessments and rigorous surveillance. This review evaluates the current evidence regarding extra-hepatic associations of NAFLD, focusing on the pathogenic hypothesis and the clinical implications.

Abstract
Background Relatively little is known about the epidemiology of juvenile psoriatic arthritis (PsA), including clinical features associated with the development of arthritis among children with psoriasis and subsequent risk of inflammatory comorbidities. Objective To identify the overall risk of arthritis among children with psoriasis and subsequent risk of inflammatory comorbidities. Methods Using Clinformatics™ DataMart (OptumInsight, Eden Prairie, MN) de-identified US administrative claims data from 2000-2013, we identified children 0-16 years with an incident diagnosis of psoriasis or PsA using ICD-9-CM diagnostic, procedure and pharmacy billing codes. Cox proportional hazard regression was performed to assess clinical features associated with development of arthritis in children with psoriasis. Incidence rate ratios were used to compare the relative frequency of co-morbid diagnoses. Results We identified 212 children with PsA, 4,312 with psoriasis-only, and 45,240 controls. Approximately 33% of children with PsA received a diagnostic code for psoriasis before arthritis. Median time to index code for arthritis after index code for psoriasis was 17.6 months (IQR 4.1-38.1). Older age and uveitis were associated with a significantly increased risk of developing arthritis in children with psoriasis. Children with PsA had a significantly increased risk of uveitis, diabetes, and depressive disorder when compared to patients with psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease, uveitis, diabetes, and depressive disorder when compared to controls. Conclusion Most children with PsA developed arthritis first. Older age and uveitis were risk factors for arthritis among children with psoriasis. PsA was associated with increased risk of several clinically relevant inflammatory comorbidities.
