Abstract
BACKGROUND Biological therapy dose modification is a common practice in the long-term treatment of plaque psoriasis. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine prevalence, characteristics of patients, effectiveness, treatment survival of secukinumab dose reduction (SEC-DR) strategy and assess its safety and cost implications. METHODS A retrospective, observational, multicenter cohort study was conducted in patients with plaque psoriasis treated with secukinumab and up to 2 years of follow-up. RESULTS In 63/347 patients with an initial standard dose regimen, SEC-DR was tried at any moment in 18.2% of them after sustained response. In 51 patients, the interval between administrations was increased while in 12 patients, monthly dose was reduced to 150 mg. Successful SEC-DR was achieved in 77.8% of the patients, with sustained PASI response to the end of the study. Survival of secukinumab treatment and safety profile were not compromised by DR. The use of DR saved 33% of the cost, including failures in which standard treatment was resumed. LIMITATIONS The proper of the study designed and the arbitrary definition of "DR success." CONCLUSION Off-label SEC-DR strategy was used in patients with sustained response to standard dose regimen; this strategy showed long-term efficacy without compromising treatment survival or worsening the safety profile while also being cost saving.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Risankizumab - a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the p19 subunit of IL-23 - has been recently approved to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Real-world data based on a representative pool of patients are currently lacking. OBJECTIVE To assess the mid- and long-term safety and efficacy profile of risankizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in the routine clinical practice. METHODS This was a retrospective and multicenter study of consecutive psoriatic patients on risankizumab from April 2020 through November 2022. The primary endpoint was the number of patients who achieved a 100% improvement in their Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) (PASI100) on week 52. RESULTS A total of 510 patients, 198 (38.8%) women and 312 (61.2%) men were included in the study. The mean age was 51.7±14.4 years. A total of 227 (44.5%) study participants were obese (body mass index [BMI] >30kg/m2). The mean baseline PASI score was 11.4±7.2, and the rate of patients who achieved PASI100 on week 52, 67.0%. Throughout the study follow-up, 21%, 50.0%, 59.0%, and 66% of the patients achieved PASI100 on weeks 4, 16, 24, and 40, respectively. The number of patients who achieved a PASI ≤2 was greater in the group with a BMI ≤30kg/m2 on weeks 4 (P=.04), 16 (P=.001), and 52 (P=.002). A statistically significantly greater number of patients achieved PASI100 in the treatment-naïve group on weeks 16 and 52 (P=.001 each, respectively). On week 16 a significantly lower number of participants achieved PASI100 in the group with psoriatic arthropathy (P=.04). Among the overall study sample, 22 (4.3%) patients reported some type of adverse event and 20 (3.9%) discontinued treatment. CONCLUSIONS Risankizumab proved to be a safe and effective therapy for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in the routine clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis has a major global impact. Immunocompetent hosts usually control this disease, resulting in an asymptomatic latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Because TNF inhibitors increase the risk of tuberculosis reactivation, current guidelines recommend tuberculosis screening before starting any biologic drug, and chemoprophylaxis if LTBI is diagnosed. Available evidence from clinical trials and real-world studies suggests that IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors do not increase the risk of tuberculosis reactivation. OBJECTIVE To evaluate psoriasis patients with treated or untreated newly diagnosed LTBI who received IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors and the tolerability/safety of tuberculosis chemoprophylaxis. METHODS This is a retrospective, observational, multinational study from a series of 14 dermatology centres based in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Brazil, which included adult patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis and newly diagnosed LTBI who were treated with IL-23 or IL-17 inhibitors between January 2015 and March 2022. LTBI was diagnosed in the case of tuberculin skin test and/or interferon gamma release assay positivity, according to local guideline, prior to initiating IL-23 or IL-17 inhibitor. Patients with prior diagnosis of LTBI (treated or untreated) or treated active infection were excluded. RESULTS A total of 405 patients were included; complete/incomplete/no chemoprophylaxis was administered in 62.2, 10.1 and 27.7% of patients, respectively. The main reason for not receiving or interrupting chemoprophylaxis was perceived heightened risk of liver toxicity and hepatotoxicity, respectively. The mean duration of biological treatment was 32.87 ± 20.95 months, and only one case of active tuberculosis infection (ATBI) was observed, after 14 months of treatment with ixekizumab. The proportion of ATBI associated with ixekizumab was 1.64% [95% confidence interval (CI): 0-5.43%] and 0% for all other agents and 0.46% (95% CI 0-1.06%) and 0% for IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors, respectively (not statistically significant). CONCLUSIONS The risk of tuberculosis reactivation in patients with psoriasis and LTBI does not seem to increase with IL-17 or IL-23 inhibitors. IL-17 or IL-23 inhibitors should be preferred over TNF antagonists when concerns regarding tuberculosis reactivation exists. In patients with LTBI considered at high risk for developing complications related to chemoprophylaxis, this preventive strategy may be waived before initiating treatment with IL-17 inhibitors and especially IL-23 inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2013, Canoui-Poitrine et al. identified three hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) phenotypes by a latent class (LC) analysis, based on anatomical sites of involvement. OBJECTIVE To improve the classification of the gluteal phenotype (LC3) patients given their diverse lesion types and differences in clinical profile. MATERIAL AND METHODS We designed a bicentric study gathering all LC3 patients (n=83) from two hospitals. We conducted a two-step cluster analysis among them and also compared their characteristics with the rest of the HS patients (n=661). RESULTS Compared with global HS series, LC3 patients were more frequently non-obese men, with smoking habit, an associated arthropathy, and a more frequent history of pilonidal sinus. The analysis of LC3 patients yielded two clusters: cluster 1 (38.3%) included elderly female patients, with later diagnosis of the disease and more sinus tracts; cluster 2 (61.7%) encompassed more men with earlier disease onset and more nodules and folliculitis lesions. LIMITATIONS The study's limitations include its retrospective nature, bicentric design, and small sample size. CONCLUSION The heterogeneous clinical presentation of HS makes it essential to have a good classification of the patients. Gluteal phenotype could actually be classified into two "subphenotypes" with a different clinical profiles and management.

Abstract
Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa are often associated with obesity. Because chronic low-grade inflammation underlies these 2 diseases, they can progress to more severe forms in patients with obesity if weight-reduction measures are not taken. This review covers pharmacologic alternatives for treating obesity, with emphasis on the benefits associated with the novel use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists that act on satiety receptors. These drugs have led to greater weight loss in clinical trials and real-world settings than orlistat, which until recently was the only drug approved for treating obesity in the European Union. Although experience with GLP-1 agonists in patients with obesity and inflammatory skin diseases is currently scarce, the promising results reported suggest they may offer a useful tool for managing obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare and severe inflammatory skin disease characterised by recurrent or intermittent flares. Epidemiological and disease management data in Spain are limited. Our goal was to estimate the epidemiology of GPP, explore its management, and reach consensus on the current challenges faced in Spain. METHODS An electronic survey was submitted to dermatologists from the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Psoriasis Working Group. This group is experienced in the management of GPP. It included a Delphi consensus to establish the current challenges. RESULTS A total of 33 dermatologists responded to the survey. A 5-year prevalence and incidence of 13.05 and 7.01 cases per million inhabitants, respectively, were estimated. According to respondents, the most common GPP symptoms are pustules, erythema, and desquamation, while 45% of patients present > 1 annual flares. A total of 45% of respondents indicated that flares often require a length of stay between 1 and 2 weeks. In the presence of a flare, 67% of respondents often or always prescribe a non-biological systemic treatment as the first-line therapy [cyclosporine (55%); oral retinoid (30%)], and 45% a biological treatment [anti-TNFα (52%); anti-IL-17 (39%)]. The dermatologists agreed that the main challenges are to define and establish specific therapeutic goals to treat the disease including the patients' perspective on the management of the disease. CONCLUSION Our study describes the current situation on the management of GPP in Spain, increasing the present knowledge on the disease, and highlighting the current challenges faced at the moment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition causing lesions in which high levels of interleukin (IL)-23 and T-helper17 cells are found. Adalimumab remains the only approved treatment. Guselkumab, an antibody targeting the p19 protein subunit of extracellular IL-23, is approved for the treatment of moderate-severe psoriasis, but evidence on its efficacy in treating HS is limited. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness and safety of guselkumab in treating moderate-severe HS under clinical practice conditions. METHODS A multicentre retrospective observational study was carried out in 13 Spanish hospitals including adult HS patients treated with guselkumab within a compassionate use programme (March 2020-March 2022). Data referred to patient demographic and clinical characteristics at treatment initiation (baseline), patient-reported outcomes (Numerical Pain Rating Scale [NPRS] and Dermatology Life Quality Index [DLQI]), physician scores (International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System [IHS4], HS Physical Global Score [HS-PGA] and Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response [HiSCR]) were recorded at baseline and at 16, 24, and 48weeks of treatment. RESULTS A total of 69 patients were included. Most (84.10%) had severe HS (HurleyIII) and had been diagnosed for over ten years (58.80%). The patients had been subjected to multiple non-biological (mean: 3.56) or biological (mean: 1.78) therapies, and almost 90% of those treated with biologics had received adalimumab. A significant decrease in IHS4, HS-PGA, NPRS, and DLQI scores was observed from baseline to 48weeks of guselkumab treatment (all P<.01). HiSCR was achieved in 58.33% and 56.52% of the patients at 16 and 24weeks, respectively. Overall, 16 patients discontinued treatment, mostly due to inefficacy (n=7) or loss of efficacy (n=3). No serious adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that guselkumab may be a safe and effective therapeutic alternative for patients with severe HS that fail to respond to other biologics.

Abstract
Recent years have seen concerted efforts to understand the relation between psoriasis and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Not only is MALFD diagnosed more often in patients with psoriasis, but its clinical course is also more aggressive. A common approach is therefore needed to enable early detection of liver disease coincident with psoriasis. Especially important is an analysis of risks and benefits of potentially hepatotoxic treatments. This consensus paper presents the recommendations of a group of experts in dermatology and hepatology regarding screening for MALFD as well as criteria for monitoring patients and referring them to hepatologists when liver disease is suspected.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is still a need to develop a simple algorithm to identify patients likely to need complex Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) and optimize MMS schedule. The main objectives of this study are to identify factors associated with a complex MMS and develop a predictor model of the number of stages needed in surgery and the need for a complex closure. MATERIAL AND METHODS A nationwide prospective cohort study (REGESMOHS, the Spanish Mohs surgery registry) was conducted including all patients with a histological diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Factors related to 3 or more stages and a complex closure (that needing a flap and/or a graft) were explored and predictive models were constructed and validated to construct the REGESMOSH scale. RESULTS 5226 patients that underwent MMS were included in the REGESMOHS registry, with 4402 (84%) having a histological diagnosis of BCC. 3689 (88.9%) surgeries only needed one or two stages and 460 (11.1%) required 3 or more stages. A model to predict the need for 3 or more stages included tumour dimension, immunosuppression, recurrence, location in risk areas, histological aggressiveness, and previous surgery. Regarding the closure type, 1616 (38.8%) surgeries were closed using a non-complex closure technique and 2552 (61.2%) needed a complex closure. A model to predict the need for a complex closure included histological aggressiveness, evolution time, patient age, maximum tumour dimension and location. CONCLUSION We present a model to predict MMS needing ≥ 3 stages and a complex closure based on epidemiological and clinical data validated in a large population (with real practice variability) including different centres that could be easily implemented in clinical practice. This model could be used to optimize surgery schedule and properly inform patients about the surgery duration.

Abstract
Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is an effector cytokine that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of both psoriasis and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), a condition that is more prevalent and severe in patients with psoriasis. In liver inflammation, IL-17 is mainly produced by CD4+ T (TH17) and CD8+ T cells (Tc17), although numerous other cells (macrophages, natural killer cells, neutrophils and Tγδ cells) also contribute to the production of IL-17. In hepatocytes, IL-17 mediates systemic inflammation and the recruitment of inflammatory cells to the liver, and it is also implicated in the development of fibrosis and insulin resistance. IL-17 levels have been correlated with progression from MAFLD to steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma. Clinical trials have shown that inhibiting IL-17A in patients with psoriasis could potentially contribute to the improvement of metabolic and liver parameters. A better understanding of the key factors involved in the pathogenesis of these chronic inflammatory processes could potentially lead to more efficient treatment for both psoriasis and MAFLD, and help to develop holistic strategies to improve the management of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previously, a new dichotomous outcome was developed, calculated as 55% reduction in the International Hidradenitis Suppurativa 4 score (IHS4-55). It was validated in datasets of adalimumab and placebo treated HS patients. External validation is an important aspect of clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVES We aimed to externally validate the novel dichotomous IHS4-55 in a non-biologic treated dataset of HS patients. METHODS Data from a previously published European-wide prospective clinical study of antibiotic treatment of HS patients was used to assess the association of IHS4-55 achievement with individual reduction in inflammatory nodules, abscesses and draining tunnels. Moreover, the associations between IHS4-55 positivity and achievement of the minimal clinically important differences (MCID) for Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), numerical rating scale (NRS) Pain, and NRS Pruritus were analyzed. RESULTS Data was obtained from 283 individual patients, of which 36.4% (103/283) were treated with clindamycin and rifampicin and 63.6% (180/283) with tetracyclines for 12 weeks. Achievers of the IHS4-55 demonstrated a significant reduction the counts of inflammatory nodules, abscesses, and draining tunnels (all p<0.001). Additionally, IHS4-55 achievers had an odds ratio (OR) for achieving the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of DLQI, NRS Pain and NRS Pruritus of 2.16 (95% CI 1.28-3.65, p<0.01), 1.79 (95% CI 1.10-2.91, p<0.05), and 1.95 (95% CI 1.18-3.22, p<0.01), respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study shows the external validity of the novel IHS4-55 by demonstrating a significant association between IHS4-55 achievement and a reduction in inflammatory lesion counts as well as achievement of MCIDs for DLQI, NRS Pain and NRS Pruritus in an antibiotic-treated cohort. These findings support the use of the IHS4-55 as a novel primary outcome measure in clinical trials.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in Spanish patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in a daily practice setting. Nationwide multicenter, observational, retrospective, non-interventional, single-cohort study including patients who initiated treatment with secukinumab in daily clinical practice conditions. Subjects were followed for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 24 months. Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), Body Surface Area and Physician's Global Assessments were collected at baseline and months 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 during treatment. Adverse events and reasons for secukinumab withdrawal were collected and classified for analyses. A total of 384 patients were enrolled in the study. Median PASI declined rapidly from 14.3 at baseline to 2.7 at month 3, 2.1 at month 12, and remained low (2.8) at month 24. Within the group of patients with PASI ≥10 at baseline (n = 278), 58.3%, 60.4% and 56.5% achieved a PASI90 response at months 3, 12 and 24, respectively. As for absolute PASI, 86.5%, 69.5%, 42.7% and 37% achieved PASI <5, < 3, < 1 and 0, respectively, at month 3. Secukinumab was more effective in biologic-naïve patients and in those with lower Body Mass Index. Secukinumab presented a good long-term safety profile. Secukinumab was effective and safe in a routine clinical setting, in a large cohort of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, in the short-, medium- and long-term (up to 24 months).

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic dermatological disease with great impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of secukinumab treatment on different patient-reported outcomes (PROs) during a long-term follow-up in Spanish patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis under real-world conditions. Retrospective, observational, open-label, nationwide multicenter cohort study that included patients who initiated treatment with secukinumab in daily clinical practice conditions. PROs assessing disease impact and QoL included Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Patient's Global Psoriasis Assessment, Itch Numerical Rating Scale and EuroQoL Thermometer Visual Analogue Scale. Outcomes, including PROs and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), were assessed at months 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 during treatment. A total of 238 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients had a mean DLQI score of 14.9 at baseline; 78.3%, 73.7% and 71.7% of them achieved a DLQI 0/1 response at months 6, 12 and 24, respectively. DLQI score was lower in the long term for naïve patients. A sharp decrease in mean DLQI was observed during the first three months, reaching a plateau that was maintained until the end of follow-up. Similar findings were observed for the rest of QoL assessments. There was a close association between improvement in QoL and skin clearance (PASI), which progressively increased during follow-up. In this study, secukinumab sustainably improved patient's QoL during a 24-month follow-up, with strongest effects in patients naïve to biological therapies and with a direct correlation with PASI improvement.

Abstract
Importance A clear dosing regimen for methotrexate in psoriasis is lacking, and this might lead to a suboptimal treatment. Because methotrexate is affordable and globally available, a uniform dosing regimen could potentially optimize the treatment of patients with psoriasis worldwide. Objective To reach international consensus among psoriasis experts on a uniform dosing regimen for treatment with methotrexate in adult and pediatric patients with psoriasis and identify potential future research topics. Design, Setting, and Participants Between September 2020 and March 2021, a survey study with a modified eDelphi procedure that was developed and distributed by the Amsterdam University Medical Center and completed by 180 participants worldwide (55 [30.6%] resided in non-Western countries) was conducted in 3 rounds. The proposals on which no consensus was reached were discussed in a conference meeting (June 2021). Participants voted on 21 proposals with a 9-point scale (1-3 disagree, 4-6 neither agree nor disagree, 7-9 agree) and were recruited through the Skin Inflammation and Psoriasis International Network and European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology in June 2020. Apart from being a dermatologist/dermatology resident, there were no specific criteria for participation in the survey. The participants worked mainly at a university hospital (97 [53.9%]) and were experienced in treating patients with psoriasis with methotrexate (163 [91.6%] had more than 10 years of experience). Main Outcomes and Measures In a survey with eDelphi procedure, we tried to reach consensus on 21 proposals. Consensus was defined as less than 15% voting disagree (1-3). For the consensus meeting, consensus was defined as less than 30% voting disagree. Results Of 251 participants, 180 (71.7%) completed all 3 survey rounds, and 58 participants (23.1%) joined the conference meeting. Consensus was achieved on 11 proposals in round 1, 3 proposals in round 2, and 2 proposals in round 3. In the consensus meeting, consensus was achieved on 4 proposals. More research is needed, especially for the proposals on folic acid and the dosing of methotrexate for treating subpopulations such as children and vulnerable patients. Conclusions and Relevance In this eDelphi consensus study, consensus was reached on 20 of 21 proposals involving methotrexate dosing in patients with psoriasis. This consensus may potentially be used to harmonize the treatment with methotrexate in patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
Background Guselkumab is indicated for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Data from real-life clinical practice regarding its use are scarce, especially concerning patients who relapse after previous biologic therapies. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and adherence to guselkumab in psoriasis refractory to biologic therapies. Method This real-life, retrospective study included patients who initiated guselkumab between February 2019 and October 2020. The main objective was to assess effectiveness, expressed as the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) ≤5, ≤2 and 0, at the first follow-up medical visit. As secondary effectiveness outcomes, we assessed the body surface area (BSA) and dermatology life quality index (DLQI). We also evaluated adverse events and adherence (using the medication possession ratio [MPR]). Results The study included 35 patients who had previously received a median of two biologic drugs. The median basal PASI score (IQR) was 11 (7.3-15.9), decreasing to 0 (0-1.4) at first follow-up medical visit. At this point, 32 patients (94.1%) reached PASI ≤5, 28 (82.4%) PASI ≤2 and 19 (55.9%) PASI 0. We also found statistically significant improvements in PASI, BSA and DLQI at first follow-up (p<0.001). Three patients developed adverse events. Most patients (N=29, 85.3%) had an MPR ≥90%. The MPR was not associated with PASI score at first follow-up. Conclusion Our study supports evidence that guselkumab is an effective and safe drug in psoriasis refractory to biologic therapies. Adherence to treatment is not related to effectiveness, suggesting that, in some cases, the interval between doses could be increased.

Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by the presence of painful nodules, abscesses, chronically draining fistulas, and scarring in apocrine gland-bearing areas of the body. The exact pathogenesis of HS is not yet well understood, but there is a consensus in considering HS a multifactorial disease with a genetic predisposition, an inflammatory dysregulation, and an influence of environmental modifying factors. Therapeutic approach of HS is challenging due to the wide clinical manifestations of the disease and the complex pathogenesis. This review describes evidence for effectiveness of current and emerging HS therapies. Topical therapy, systemic treatments, biological agents, surgery, and light therapy have been used for HS with variable results. Adalimumab is the only US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved biologic agent for moderate-to-severe HS, but new therapeutic options are being studied, targeting different specific cytokines involved in HS pathogenesis. Comparing treatment outcomes between therapies is difficult due to the lack of randomized controlled trials. Treatment strategy should be selected in concordance to disease severity and requires combination of treatments in most cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large prospective studies on the safety of Mohs micrographic (MMS) surgery are scarce, and most focus on a single type of surgical adverse event. Mid-term scar alterations and functional loss have not been described. OBJECTIVES To describe the risk of MMS complications and the risk factors for them. METHODS A nationwide prospective cohort collected all adverse events on consecutive patients in 22 specialised centres. We used multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression to find out factors associated with adverse events. RESULTS 5,017 patients were included, with 14,421 patient-years of follow-up. 7.0% had some perioperative morbidity and 6.5% had mid-term and scar-related complications. The overall risk of complications was mainly associated with use of antiaggregant/anticoagulant and larger tumours, affecting deeper structures, not reaching a tumour-free border, and requiring complex repair. Age and outpatient setting were not linked to the incidence of adverse events. Risk factors for haemorrhage (0.9%) were therapy with antiaggregant/anticoagulants, tumour size, duration of surgery, and unfinished surgery. Wound necrosis (1.9%) and dehiscence (1.0%) were associated with larger defects and complex closures. Immunosuppression was only associated with an increased risk of necrosis. Surgeries reaching deeper structures, larger tumours and previous surgical treatments were associated with wound infection (0.9%). Aesthetic scar alterations (5.4%) were more common in younger patients, with larger tumours, in H-area, and in flap and complex closures. Risk factors for functional scar alterations (1.7%) were the need for general anaesthesia, larger tumours that had received previous surgery, and flaps or complex closures. CONCLUSIONS MMS shows a low risk of complications. Most of the risk factors for complications were related to tumour size and depth, and the resulting need for complex surgery. Antiaggregant/anticoagulant intake was associated with a small increase in the risk of haemorrhage, that probably does not justify withdrawal. Age and outpatient setting were not linked to the risk of adverse events.

Abstract
Characterization of patients, surgery procedures and the risk factors for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) recurrences is poorly defined. In this study, we aimed to describe the demographics, tumor characteristics and interventions of DFSP treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MSS) to determine the rate and risk factors for recurrence. Data were collected from REGESMOHS, a nationwide prospective cohort study of patients treated with MMS in Spain. From July 2013 to February 2020, 163 patients with DFSP who underwent MMS were included. DFSP was mostly located on trunk and extremities. Recurrent tumors had deeper tumor invasion and required higher number of MMS stages. Paraffin MMS was the most frequently used technique. Overall recurrence rate was 0.97 cases/100 person-years (95% IC = 0.36-2.57). No differences were found in epidemiological, tumor, surgery characteristics or surgical technique (frozen or paraffin MMS [p = 0.6641]) in terms of recurrence. Median follow-up time was 28.6 months with 414 patient-years of follow-up. In conclusion, we found an overall low recurrence rate of DFSP treated with MMS. None of the studied risk factors, including MMS techniques, was associated with higher risk for recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tetracyclines and clindamycin plus rifampicin combination therapy are both considered first-line therapy in current hidradenitis suppurativa guidelines. However, evidence for their efficacy is drawn from small studies, often without validated outcomes. OBJECTIVE To assess the 12-week efficacy of oral tetracyclines and a combination of clindamycin and rifampicin. METHODS A prospective, international cohort study performed between October 2018 and August 2019. RESULTS In total, 63.6% of the included 283 patients received oral tetracyclines, and 36.4% were treated with clindamycin and rifampicin. Both groups showed a significant decrease in International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System from baseline (both P < .001). The Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) was achieved in 40.1% and 48.2% of patients, respectively (P = .26). Patient characteristics or disease severity were not associated with the attainment of HiSCR or the minimal clinically important differences for the Dermatology Life Quality Index and pain. LIMITATIONS Cohort study. Respectively, 23.9% and 19.4% of patients had to be excluded from the HiSCR analysis for the tetracycline and combination therapy group because of a low abscess and nodule count at baseline. CONCLUSION This study shows significant efficacy of both tetracycline treatment and clindamycin and rifampicin combination therapy after 12 weeks in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa. No significant differences in efficacy were observed between the 2 treatments, regardless of disease severity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent disorder of the pilosebaceous unit. Currently, several attempts have been made to classify this disease according to its pathogenesis and clinical manifestations. We attempted at classifying 103 patients using two-step cluster analysis. METHODS The final model included body mass index, C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum concentrations of IL-1, IL-6, IL-17, and IL-10 as continuous variables, and sex, later/early onset, anterior/posterior lesion sites, presence/absence of sinus tracts, nodules and abscesses, positive/negative history of pilonidal sinus, and presence/absence of mutations in gamma-secretase subunits (APH1A, APH1B, MEFV, NCSTN, PSEN1, PSEN2, PSENEN, PSTPIP1) as qualitative variables. RESULTS The resultant model defined two groupings or clusters: cluster 1 (64.9% of patients) characterized by nonobese males, with nodular lesions in posterior sites, early-onset HS, higher IL-10, presence of gamma-secretase mutations, and history of pilonidal sinus; and cluster 2 (35.1% of patients) characterized by obese females or males, with lesions in anterior sites, more presence of sinus tracts and abscesses and less nodules, later-onset HS, and higher concentrations of IL-1, CRP, IL-17, and IL-6. Severity measures (Hurley, HS-PGA, and IHS4) and tobacco use were discarded because the analysis found them to be less relevant for clustering. CONCLUSION Our resultant model confirms the clinical impression that HS is a disease spectrum with two pathogenic poles defining two clusters or endotypes. The probability of having severe disease was equally distributed in the two clusters. The variable with the highest predictive value for clustering was involvement of typical anterior sites (axillae, submammary) or atypical posterior sites (back, gluteal). Serum concentrations of interleukins, tobacco use, and sex had a lower predictive power for clustering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little has been published on the real-world effectiveness and safety of apremilast in psoriasis. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness, safety and drug survival of apremilast at 52 weeks in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or palmoplantar psoriasis in routine clinical practice. METHODS Retrospective, multicentre study of adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or palmoplantar psoriasis treated with apremilast from March 2016 to March 2018. RESULTS We studied 292 patients with plaque psoriasis and 85 patients with palmoplantar psoriasis. The mean (SD) Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score was 10.7 (7.0) at baseline and 3.0 (4.2) at 52 weeks. After 12 months of treatment, 73.6% of patients had a PASI score of 3 or less. In terms of relative improvement by week 52, 49.7% of patients achieved PASI-75 (≥75% reduction in PASI score) and 26.5% achieved PASI-90. The mean physician global assessment score for palmoplantar psoriasis fell from 4.2 (5.2) at baseline to 1.3 (1.3) at week 52. Overall drug survival after 1 year of treatment with apremilast was 54.9 %. The main reasons for treatment discontinuation were loss of efficacy (23.9%) and adverse events (15.9%). Almost half of the patients in our series (47%) experienced at least one adverse event. The most common events were gastrointestinal problems. CONCLUSIONS Apremilast may be a suitable alternative for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis and palmoplantar psoriasis. Although the drug has a good safety profile, adverse gastrointestinal effects are common.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for rare cutaneous tumors is poorly defined. We aim to describe the demographics, tumor presentation and topography, surgery characteristics and complications of MMS for rare cutaneous tumors in a national registry. METHODS Prospective cohort study of patients treated with MMS in Spain between July 2013 and June 2018. The inclusion criteria were patients with cutaneous tumors with final diagnosis different from basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, or any kind of melanoma. RESULTS Five thousand and ninety patients were recorded in the registry, from which only 73 tumors (1.4%) fulfilled the inclusion criteria: atypical fibroxanthoma (18), microcystic adnexal carcinoma (10), extramammary Paget's disease (7), Merkel cell carcinoma (5), dermatofibroma (4), trichilemmal carcinoma (4), desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (4), sebaceous carcinoma (3), leiomyosarcoma (2), porocarcinoma (2), angiosarcoma (2), trichoblastoma (1), superficial acral fibromyxoma (1), and others (10). No intra-surgery morbidity was registered. Postsurgery complications appeared in six patients (9%) and were considered mild. Median follow-up time was 0.9 years during which three Merkel cell carcinomas, one angiosarcoma, one microcystic adnexal carcinoma, and four others recurred (12.3%). CONCLUSION This national registry shows that rare cutaneous tumors represent a negligible part of the total MMS performed in our country with a low complication rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adalimumab is the only approved compound for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) who did not respond to a systemic classical treatment. Despite its significant short- and long-term efficacy, a percentage of patients do not respond sufficiently. Moreover, some primary responders experience a response loss with time. OBJECTIVE To analyse the effectiveness of adalimumab dose intensification in HS patients. METHODS A case series of adalimumab 80 mg/week subcutaneously (s.c.) compassionate use in patients with HS, who did not respond sufficiently or in primary responders with progressive response loss to the registered adalimumab dose of 40 mg/week s.c. Patients were collected and evaluated retrospectively. Patients' data were extracted from medical records. RESULTS The 14 patients collected were Caucasian with HS of Hurley stage II-III and moderate or severe International HS Severity Score System (IHS4) stage. Adalimumab dose intensification significantly improved IHS4 score, Pain Index, HS-Physician Global Assessment, pain, and Cardiff Dermatology Life Quality Index. Two young female patients with HS and Crohn's disease developed psoriatic lesions during the treatment with adalimumab 80 mg/week s.c. CONCLUSION An enhanced level of effectiveness was assessed in the majority of the HS patients treated with adalimumab dose intensification (80 mg/week s.c.). Larger studies are required to evaluate this observation.

Abstract
Adalimumab is the only approved biological therapy for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The last published recommendations support the use of other off-label biologic therapies. We report on a multicentric retrospective review of patients with HS treated with an ustekinumab dosing schedule of intravenous infusion adjusted by weight, followed by a subcutaneous maintenance dose of 90 mg every 8 weeks, as recently approved for Crohn's disease. The minimal follow-up period required for inclusion was 16 weeks. A total of 14 patients from six hospitals were included. In 50% of the treated patients, therapeutic outcomes, measured by means of the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) and decrease of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and visual analog scale (VAS) of pain, were reached at week 16. In 71.42% of patients DLQI and VAS of pain improved, irrespective of achievement of HiSCR. Two patients abandoned treatment due to lack of efficacy or patient preferences. No ustekinumab-related adverse effects were reported. The results are limited by the retrospective nature of the study, the short follow-up period, and the small patient number. This therapeutic regime proved to be safe and showed moderate efficacy in treating HS with failure to previous biologic therapy. Ideally, the efficacy of ustekinumab in HS should be tested in randomized and controlled clinical trials.

Abstract
Background: The management of HIV-positive patients with psoriasis is controversial and limited to individual cases or short series of patients. Objectives: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of conventional and biologic immunosuppressive drugs in the treatment of patients with psoriasis and concomitant HIV infection. Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was conducted. The study included data from 2008 to 2016. Inclusion criteria were: HIV adult patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, HIV viral load determinations at baseline and at least after 6 months of treatment, and systemic immunosuppressive treatment for at least 6 months. A descriptive analysis was performed. Results: Twenty-three patients with plaque-type psoriasis and HIV infection (five with AIDS) were included. Median follow-up time was 3.2 years. The main drugs used were etanercept, methotrexate, and ustekinumab. In most cases, viral load and CD4 cell count not only remained stable but also improved throughout the follow-up. Six patients presented severe adverse events during the follow-up, four of them in the AIDS stage. At the end of the follow-up period, 76.5% of the patients had achieved a PASI 75. Conclusion: Biologic drugs, both anti-TNF alpha agents and ustekinumab, seem to have an acceptable safety profile and high effectiveness in HIV-positive patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ixekizumab (anti-IL17A) is effective as treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, but real-life data on effectiveness and safety are currently very limited. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ixekizumab in a cohort of real-life plaque psoriasis patients. METHODS Retrospective chart review of 100 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis treated with ixekizumab at seven Spanish dermatological centres. RESULTS According to the as observed analysis, the percentage of patients achieving a 75% and 90% of reduction from the baseline score of Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) was 87.5%-50.0% at week 12-16; 88.3%-58.4% at week 24 and 82.9%-58.5% at week 52, respectively. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) score of PASI at baseline was 12.9 ± 9.2, and it declined rapidly after ixekizumab administration to 1.9 ± 4.0 (P < 0.001) at week 12-16 and was maintained at 1.7 ± 4.1 and 1.8 ± 2.9 at week 24 and 52, respectively. Ixekizumab response was not affected by clinical variables like body mass index, disease duration or the presence of psoriatic arthritis. However, the bio-naive group showed significantly higher PASI 75 response rate at week 12-16 compared to patients previously exposed to biologic agents (P = 0.037). Twenty-six (26%) patients experienced adverse events (AEs) during the follow-up period, being most of them of mild-to-moderate intensity. The most common AE was local reaction at the site of injection (14/26; 53.8%). At the end of the observational period, 15 (15%) patients discontinued ixekizumab treatment due to limited clinical improvement (n = 11), adverse events (n = 3) or lost to follow-up (n = 1) within a mean ± SD time of 6.0 ± 3.9 months. CONCLUSION The present study illustrates the initial experience with ixekizumab in real-world clinical practice confirming its usefulness and safety in the management of plaque psoriasis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum zinc levels in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) have not been previously studied. OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the association between HS and serum zinc levels. METHODS A multicenter, prospective clinical and analytical case-control study was designed to assess the possible association between HS and serum zinc levels. Consecutive patients with moderate or severe HS (Hurley II or III exclusively) were enrolled. A control population was recruited from primary care clinics. Fasting blood samples were extracted from each patient and serum zinc levels determined. Candidate predictors for low serum zinc levels were determined using logistic regression models. RESULTS In total, 122 patients with HS and 122 control subjects were studied. Of the 122 HS patients, 79 (64.8%) were Hurley II and 43 (35.2%) were Hurley III. Low serum zinc levels (≤ 83.3 µg/dL) were more prevalent in HS (adjusted odds ratio [ORa] 6.7, P < 0.001). After logistic regression analysis, low serum zinc levels were associated with Hurley III (ORa 4.4, P < 0.001), Dermatology Life Quality Index ≥ 9 (ORa 3.1, P = 0.005), number of affected sites ≥ 3 (ORa 2.4, P = 0.042), genital location (ORa 2.9, P = 0.009), and perineal location (ORa 2.5, P = 0.025). CONCLUSION Low serum zinc levels are more prevalent in HS than in a healthy population, an indicator that may also be associated with disease severity.
