Abstract
BACKGROUND The fixed dose combination of calcipotriene (CAL) and betamethasone dipropionate (BDP) is a well-established topical treatment option for psoriasis based on strong scientific rationale for the single agents having complementary efficacy and safety. CAL/BDP PAD-cream is an easily spreadable cream based on PAD Technology™, an innovative formulation and drug delivery system. OBJECTIVES AND METHODS A Phase 3, multicentre, randomized, investigator-blind, active and vehicle-controlled trial enrolling 490 patients with mild to moderate psoriasis according to the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) scale was conducted in three European countries. Products were applied once daily for 8 weeks. The aim of the trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAL/BDP PAD-cream as well as treatment acceptability compared to CAL/BDP gel and PAD-cream vehicle. Primary endpoint was percentage change in modified Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (mPASI) from baseline to Week 8. RESULTS The percentage mean change from baseline to Week 8 in mPASI for CAL/BDP PAD-cream (67.5%) was superior compared to PAD-cream vehicle (11.7%; p < 0.0001) and non-inferior to CAL/BDP gel (63.5%). The proportion of patients achieving PGA treatment success (at least two-step improvement to clear or almost clear) after 8 weeks was superior for CAL/BDP PAD-cream (50.7%) compared to PAD-cream vehicle (6.1%, p < 0.0001) and statistically significantly greater than CAL/BDP gel (42.7%, p = 0.0442). Patient-reported psoriasis treatment convenience score (PTCS) for CAL/BDP PAD-cream was rated superior to CAL/BDP gel at Week 8 (p < 0.0001) and the mean change in DLQI from baseline to Week 8 improved statistically significantly more in the CAL/BDP PAD-cream group compared to both PAD-cream vehicle (p < 0.0001) and CAL/BDP gel (p = 0.0110). Safety assessments during the trial demonstrated that CAL/BDP PAD-cream was well-tolerated. CONCLUSION CAL/BDP PAD-cream is a novel topical treatment of psoriasis that has a high efficacy and a favourable safety profile combined with a superior patient-reported treatment convenience.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment with biologics often leads to clearance of psoriasis. However, some patients do repeatedly fail to respond and/or lose an achieved response (treatment refractory) to the biologic, whereas other patients achieve excellent response to one biologic and remain clear of psoriasis for several years (super-responders). OBJECTIVE To identify and characterize patients with treatment refractory psoriasis and patients who are super-responders to biologic treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients registered in DERMBIO between January 2007 and November 2019 were included. Patients were categorized as being treatment refractory if they had had treatment failure to ≥3 biologics targeting ≥2 different pathways. Super-responders were patients treated with their first biologic for minimum 5 years without an absolute psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) > 3 between 6 months and 5 years of treatment. All remaining patients from DERMBIO served as comparators. RESULTS In total, 3280 patients were included with a mean age of 45.0 years. 1221 (37%) of the patients were females. Of the included patients, 214 (6.5%) were categorized as treatment refractory and 207 (6.3%) were categorized as super-responders. Treatment refractory patients had higher mean body weight (100.6 kg vs. 90.6 kg, P < 0.0001) and higher mean BMI (32.2 vs. 29.4, P < 0.0001) compared with the rest of patients in DERMBIO. Super-responders had higher socioeconomic status and fewer comorbidities compared with the comparator group (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION A small proportion of patients with psoriasis treated with biologics are either super-responders or treatment refractory. Treatment refractory patients have higher body weight, whereas super-responders have fewer comorbidities and higher socioeconomic status.

Abstract
BackgroundImmune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases (IMIDs), including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA), psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and inflammatory bowel disease share both pathophysiological and environmental factors, individuals with one IMID have an increased risk for developing other IMIDs, and are associated with reduced health-related quality of life, increased risk of comorbidities, and reduced socioeconomic status.Unmet needs in care of patients with IMIDs may result from lack of patient-centricity in the usual mono-disciplinary siloed approach to these diseases.ObjectivesThe overall aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary combined clinic intervention compared to usual care in patients with the aforementioned IMIDs.MethodsThis is a randomized, usual care controlled, parallel-group pragmatic clinical trial. 300 consecutively enrolled participants with co-occurrence of at least two IMIDs are randomly assigned 2:1 to either treatment in the interdisciplinary combined clinic or usual care. The study consists of a 6-month active intervention period and a 6-month follow-up period. Primary outcome is change from baseline to 24-Weeks on the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Additional questionnaire-based qualitative date from 30 patients and 15 health-care professional (HCP)s involved in the center are reported.ResultsHere we report baseline characteristics of the first 128 patients (mean age: 45.4y, 18–74.2, females (83, 64.8%)). All patients had ≥2 IMIDs: Psoriasis (99, 77.3%), PsA (peripheral) (72, 56.3%), AxSpA (34, 26.6%), Hidradenitis (16, 12.5%), Crohn (35, 27.3%), Colitis (20, 15.6%), AxPsA (9, 7.0%), IBD-associated arthritis (10, 7.8%), HS-associated arthritis (1, 0.8%). HLA-B27 was positive in 24 (22.2%) patients.Advantages, challenges and themes mentioned by the patients are listed in Table 1.Table 1.Advantages and challenges on feedback from 15 HCPs and feedback from 30 patients.Advantages - HCPChallenges - HCPThemes mentioned by the patientsProfessional developmentCulture -Old habits from regular departments-“This is how we usually do this”Communication between HCOs improved treatmentSatisfying to work on a high professional levelCreate a new culture takes time and patience-Large differences between specialties and subject areasCollaboration between HCPs improved treatmentImproved perspective on diseases and patientsLogistics, physical requirementsHolistic approach –patients felt HCPs cared for all health aspectsCollaboration – professional, personal, team spiritShared goalsConfidence in living with diseasesMeaning full to work with all aspects of diseaseTime and patienceCoherenceEffective communicationOptimal use of time and resourcesTreatment optimizationLearning can be brought back to “monodisciplinary” work (improved treatment in respective departments)Clarification about diet, mastering fatigue and work-related problemsBroader disease focusAvoid patient being information carrierReflectionA statement from a patient: “It gave me much more peace of mind that I should not “split” my health problems and run errands between different departments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HSP90 is a downstream regulator of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and interleukin (IL)-17A signaling and may therefore serve as a novel target in the treatment of psoriasis. OBJECTIVE This phase 1b proof-of-concept study was undertaken to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel HSP90 inhibitor (RGRN-305) in the treatment of plaque psoriasis. METHODS An open-label, single-arm, dose-selection, single-center proof-of-concept study. Patients with plaque psoriasis were treated with 250 mg or 500 mg RGRN-305 daily for 12 weeks. Efficacy was evaluated clinically using Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), body surface area (BSA), and Physician Global Assessment (PGA) scores and by Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Skin biopsies collected at baseline and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment start were used for immunohistochemical staining and for gene expression analysis. Safety was monitored via laboratory tests, vital signs, ECG, and physical examinations. RESULTS Six of the eleven patients completing the study responded to RGRN-305 with a PASI improvement between 71% and 94%, whereas five patients were considered nonresponders with a PASI response < 50%. No severe adverse events were reported. Four of seven patients treated with 500 mg RGRN-305 daily experienced a mild to moderate exanthematous drug induced eruption due to study treatment. Two patients chose to discontinue the study due to this exanthematous eruption. RGRN-305 treatment resulted in pronounced inhibition of the IL-23, TNFα, and IL-17A signaling pathways and normalization of both histological changes and psoriatic lesion gene expression profiles in patients responding to treatment. CONCLUSION Treatment with RGRN-305 showed an acceptable safety, especially in the low-dose group, and was associated with clinically meaningful improvement in a subset of patients with plaque psoriasis, indicating that HSP90 may serve as a novel future target in psoriasis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) are chronic inflammatory diseases that often affect women of childbearing age. Detailed information about pregnancy and related outcomes across these indications in patients exposed to ixekizumab is lacking. OBJECTIVES To evaluate pregnancy outcomes after maternal or paternal exposure to ixekizumab in patients with psoriasis, PsA, or axSpA. METHODS Pregnancy cases from clinical trials and post-marketing reports, associated with either maternal or paternal exposure to ixekizumab cumulatively through 22 March 2019, were identified in the Eli Lilly Global Safety Database and described separately. RESULTS One hundred and ninety-three ixekizumab-exposed pregnancies were identified. Maternal exposure occurred in 51.3% of pregnancies (clinical trials: n = 58; post-marketing: n = 41). The majority of paternal exposure pregnancies occurred in clinical trials (91 of 94). Live births were reported for 53.8 and 61.1% of known outcomes in maternal exposure pregnancies during clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance, respectively. No congenital malformations resulting from maternal exposure were reported in clinical trials: one case, not causally related to ixekizumab therapy, was recorded in the post-marketing setting. CONCLUSIONS This integrated safety analysis provides relevant information for clinicians treating patients with psoriasis, PsA, or axSpA with ixekizumab. No new safety signals were identified in patients receiving ixekizumab.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES (i) To estimate the prevalence and severity of coronary artery disease and (ii) to assess the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality, in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in a large-scale cohort of patients referred to coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). METHODS This was a cross-sectional study with follow-up of 46,022 patients based on data from a Danish national CTA registry. Exposure was defined as psoriasis or PsA. A group of patients without psoriasis, PsA or any other inflammatory disease was used as reference. Cross-sectional primary outcomes were a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) >0 and CACS ≥400, and secondary outcome was obstructive CAD. At follow-up, the primary outcome was a composite endpoint of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. All outcomes were adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS We identified 1356 psoriasis and 370 PsA patients. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for psoriasis patients for CACS >0, CACS ≥400 and obstructive CAD was 1.26 (1.10-1.46), 1.25 (1.04-1.50) and 1.14 (0.98-1.33), respectively. For PsA patients, OR for CACS >0 was 1.28 (1.00-1.64). We found a crude hazard ratio (HR) of 1.49 (1.21-1.85) and adjusted HR of 1.14 (0.92-1.41) for the primary outcome in psoriasis patients. CONCLUSIONS In this population, both psoriasis and PsA were associated with an increased prevalence of coronary calcification. Psoriasis patients also showed an increased prevalence of severe calcification. Psoriasis patients were at increased risk for cardiovascular events and death, however not after adjusting for the effect of other predictors.

Abstract
Background Mogamulizumab was compared with vorinostat in the phase 3 MAVORIC trial (NCT01728805) in 372 patients with relapsed/refractory mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) who had failed ≥1 prior systemic therapy. Mogamulizumab significantly prolonged progression‐free survival (PFS), with a superior objective response rate (ORR) vs. vorinostat. Objectives This post hoc analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of baseline blood tumour burden on patient response to mogamulizumab. Methods PFS, ORR, time to next treatment (TTNT), skin response (modified Severity‐Weighted Assessment Tool [mSWAT]) and safety were assessed in patients stratified by blood classification (B0 [n = 126], B1 [n = 62], or B2 [n = 184], indicating increasing blood involvement). Results Investigator‐assessed PFS was longer for mogamulizumab versus vorinostat across all blood classes, significantly so for B1 and B2 patients. ORR was higher with mogamulizumab than with vorinostat in all blood classification groups and more markedly so with escalating B class (B0: 15.6% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.0549; B1: 25.8% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.2758; B2: 37.4% vs. 3.2%, P < 0.0001). TTNT was significantly longer for patients treated with mogamulizumab versus vorinostat with B1 (12.63 vs. 3.07 months; HR 0.32 [95% CI 0.16–0.67]; P = 0.0018) and B2 (13.07 vs. 3.53 months; HR 0.30 [95% CI 0.21–0.43]; P < 0.0001) blood involvement. In the mogamulizumab arm, 81 patients (43.5%) had ≥50% change in the mSWAT vs. 41 patients (22.0%) with vorinostat; mSWAT improvements with mogamulizumab occurred most often in B1 and B2 patients. Rapid, sustained reductions were seen in CD4+CD26‐ cell counts and CD4:CD8 ratios in mogamulizumab patients for all B classes. Treatment‐emergent adverse events were less frequent overall with mogamulizumab and similar in frequency regardless of B class. Conclusions This post hoc analysis indicates greater clinical benefit with mogamulizumab vs. vorinostat in patients with MF and SS classified as having B1 and B2 blood involvement.

Abstract
Topical therapy is the mainstay of treatment for the majority of patients with psoriasis vulgaris (chronic plaque psoriasis), with combinations of vitamin D analogues and glucocorticoids having been shown to negate many of the negative effects associated with either monocomponent individually. Following the established efficacy of fixed‐dose combination calcipotriol (Cal; 50 µg/g) plus betamethasone dipropionate (BD; 0.5 mg/g) ointment and gel formulations, a novel Cal/BD foam formulation was developed. When applied, Cal/BD foam forms a supersaturated solution on the skin, increasing the penetration and bioavailability of Cal and BD. Early data indicate that this results in improved efficacy outcomes versus Cal/BD ointment, without negatively affecting safety outcomes (such as the incidence/severity of side effects or impacted calcium homeostasis or hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal axis). This article discusses the potency and absorption of fixed‐dose combination Cal/BD foam, as well as the positive early efficacy and safety data associated with its utilisation in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The Aberdeen Children of the 1950s (ACONF) cohort comprises 12,150 people born in Scotland in the 50s. It contains rich early life data, questionnaire data from mid-life and linked electronic health records. Involving participants in designing future data collection is key to ensure research is acceptable and reflects public priorities.
Aim
Gather ACONF members views to inform how to: research healthy ageing, optimise recruitment and maximise participation.
Methods
3 co-design workshops with 30 ACONF members. A discussion was led by a facilitator using guidance questions developed by the study team. Workshops were recorded and transcribed.
Results
Participants viewed healthy ageing as keeping socially and physically active, taking responsibility for oneself and having a positive attitude to ageing. Research priorities were dementia, improvements in the social care system and engaging hard-to-reach groups. Members were keen for future research involvement. Recruitment may be maximised by: more information online, involving participants in recruiting other study members and clarity about potential benefits to themselves or others. It was acceptable to ask their offspring to participate. There were high levels of trust in researchers, but ongoing data protection is vital. Participation may be improved by regular contact (informing members of results, engagement events, phone “apps”). Participants viewed various data collection methods (questionnaires, applications, wearable devices, in-person tests, DNA collection and electronic record linkage) as acceptable.
Conclusions
Participant involvement is a fundamental part of securing a social license for research. Participants were in favour of ongoing research, including recruitment of their children. The workshops highlighted key considerations for future research and data collection.
Key messages
Co-design is vital for highlighting research topics which are important and relevant to the general population. Co-design can highlight strategies for maximising research participation and securing a social license for research.

Abstract
Background: Currently, no formalized international consensus guidelines exist to direct optimal topical treatment including long-term treatment.Objective: In this survey, we aim to examine if and which topicals are used in clinical practice in long-term continuous treatment of psoriasis and how topicals are used in treating specific sites of the body.Methods: A questionnaire was distributed electronically to dermatologists from the International Psoriasis Council (IPC) representing 26 countries.Results: The top three topicals used across all severities of disease were topical corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, and potent topical corticosteroids in combination with vitamin D analogs. On locations where the skin is thin, flexural and genital psoriasis, lower potency topical corticosteroids were used, whereas on other sites, in particular in palmoplantar psoriasis, superpotent topical corticosteroids and combination vitamin D analogs/corticosteroids were used.Conclusions: It is relevant to optimize localized therapy for all severities of psoriasis reconciling disease activity (stable vs. unstable disease), localization of the lesions and the individual patient and his/her perspectives on disease control. Topical therapies are valuable treatments for classical mild disease and may have a position in some patients with more severe manifestations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Psoriasis (Pso) is a disease characterized by systemic inflammation and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the degree of coronary artery calcification in Pso and its relation to prognosis is largely unknown.
Purpose
The aim of this study was 1) to estimate the prevalence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in this patient group and 2) to asses the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including revascularization and all-cause mortality after initial diagnosis and treatment in a large-scale cohort of patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) due to angina symptoms.
Methods
This study consists of two parts using data from the Western Denmark Heart Registry; a cross-sectional study included 40,125 patients and a follow-up study included 42,861 patients. Pso patients were identified by the National Patient Registry and verified by nationwide prescription and treatment code registers. Primary outcome in the cross-sectional study was a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) >0, with a secondary outcome defined as a CACS ≥400. In the follow-up study, the primary outcome was a combined outcome including myocardial infarction, revascularization, ischemic or unspecified stroke and all-cause mortality. Events within the first 90 days after CCTA were attributed to initial treatment and consequently excluded. All outcomes were adjusted for common cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities.
Results
In the cross-sectional study 1,407 (3.5%) Pso patients were identified. OR was 1.31 (95% CI; 1.15–1.49) for CACS >0 and 1.33 (95% CI; 1.10–1.62) for CACS ≥400 in Pso patients compared to non-Pso patients. In the follow-up study 1,591 (3.7%) Pso patients were identified. The mean duration of follow-up after CCTA was 4.0 years (min/max 0.0/10.2). Crude HR for the combined outcome was 1.52 (95% CI; 1.24–1.87), while adjusted HR was 1.16 (95% CI; 0.95–1.43).
Conclusion
In this clinically relevant cohort of patients referred to CCTA for CAD rule out, coronary artery calcification was more frequent and more severe in Pso patients even compared to the control patients with several risk factors and angina symptoms, but without inflammatory diseases. An increased risk of the combined outcome of MACE including revascularization and all-cause mortality after initial treatment in Pso patients was found in the crude analysis. The increased risk seemed predominantly carried by an increase in traditional risk factors.

Abstract
Background Tildrakizumab is a specific anti‐interleukin‐23p19 monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. Objectives To evaluate the long‐term efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab treatment for patients with moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis for up to 148 weeks. Methods Pooled analysis from two double‐blind, randomized controlled trials: reSURFACE 1 and reSURFACE 2. Efficacy was assessed for responders (≥ 75% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index; PASI 75) and partial responders (PASI 50–75) to tildrakizumab 100 mg and 200 mg at week 28 who were maintained on the same dose (administered every 12 weeks), and for partial responders or nonresponders (PASI < 50) to etanercept 50 mg at week 28 who, after a 4‐week washout, were switched to tildrakizumab 200 mg (administered at weeks 32 and 36, and every 12 weeks thereafter). Safety was assessed in the all‐patients‐as‐treated population. Three different methods of imputing missing data were used: nonresponder imputation (NRI), multiple imputation and observed cases. The Clinicaltrials.gov numbers are NCT01722331 (reSURFACE 1) and NCT01729754 (reSURFACE 2). Results At week 148 (NRI), 72·6%, 53·8% and 28·9% of tildrakizumab 100‐mg responders and 80·2%, 59·9% and 32·6% of tildrakizumab 200‐mg responders had PASI 75, 90 and 100 responses, respectively. For partial responders to tildrakizumab 100 mg and 200 mg, the proportions of patients achieving PASI 75, 90 and 100 responses were 32·5%, 25·0% and 10·0%; and 47·1%, 27·5% and 12·8%, respectively. For patients who were partial responders or nonresponders to etanercept, the proportions of patients achieving PASI 75, 90 and 100 responses were 66·9%, 43·8% and 14·9% at week 148. Rates of discontinuations due to adverse events [tildrakizumab 100 mg: 1·7 per 100 patient‐years (PYs); tildrakizumab 200 mg: 1·2 per 100 PYs] and exposure‐adjusted rates of serious adverse events (5·9 per 100 PYs; 5·5 per 100 PYs), severe infections (1·1 per 100 PYs; 1·1 per 100 PYs), malignancies (0·6 per 100 PYs; 0·4 per 100 PYs) and major adverse cardiovascular events (0·4 per 100 PYs; 0·5 per 100 PYs) were low. Conclusions Tildrakizumab was well tolerated and efficacy was well maintained in week 28 responders who continued tildrakizumab treatment through 3 years, or improved among etanercept partial responders or nonresponders who switched to tildrakizumab. What's already known about this topic? Tildrakizumab 100 mg and 200 mg are efficacious and well tolerated with short‐term use in the treatment of patients with moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis.
What does this study add? High levels of efficacy are maintained for up to 3 years of psoriasis treatment with tildrakizumab. There is a favourable long‐term safety profile with both tildrakizumab 100 mg and 200 mg, with a low incidence of adverse events of special interest through 3 years.

Abstract
Background There are scarce data in Scandinavia about treatment satisfaction among patients with psoriasis (PsO) and/or psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The number of patients receiving systemic treatment is unknown. Objective To describe patients’ experience of treatments for PsO/PsA in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, addressing communication with physicians, satisfaction with treatment and concerns regarding treatment options. Methods The NORdic PAtient survey of Psoriasis and Psoriatic arthritis (NORPAPP) asked 22 050 adults (randomly selected from the YouGov panels in Sweden, Denmark and Norway) whether they had PsO/PsA. A total of 1264 individuals who reported physician‐diagnosed PsO/PsA were invited to participate in the full survey; 96.6% responded positively. Results Systemic treatment use was reported by 14.6% (biologic: 8.1%) of respondents with PsO only and by 58.5% (biologic: 31.8%) of respondents with PsA. Biologic treatments were more frequently reported by respondents considering their disease severe (26.8% vs 6.7% non‐severe) and those who were members of patient organizations (40.7% vs 6.9% non‐members). Discussing systemic treatments with their physician was reported significantly more frequently by respondents with PsA, those perceiving their disease as severe (although 35.2% had never discussed systemic treatment with their physician) and those reporting being a member of a patient organization (P < 0.05). Many respondents reported health risk concerns and dissatisfaction with their treatment. Of special interest was that respondents aged 45–75 years reported less experience with biologics (8.1%) than those aged 18–44 years (21.5%). The older respondents also reported more uncertainty regarding long‐term health risks related to systemic treatments (most [66.7–72.9%] responded ‘do not know’ when asked about the risk of systemic options). Conclusion It appears likely that substantial numbers of Scandinavians suffering from severe PsO/PsA are not receiving optimal treatment from a patient perspective, particularly older patients. Also, one‐third of respondents with severe symptoms had never discussed systemic treatment with a physician.

Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in Denmark and England have historically had worse outcomes than patients diagnosed in other high-income countries with similar healthcare coverage. This survival deficit may be partly explained by differences in stage distribution due to delays in cancer diagnosis, however, differences in stage-specific survival suggest that differences in treatment also explain the survival gap. Aim: We aim to provide a comparison of stage-specific survival of CRC patients diagnosed in Denmark, England, Norway and Sweden, and compare the probability of receiving potentially curative surgery (PCS) by patient and tumor characteristics to understand whether differences in stage and treatment help explain the international differences in survival. Methods: Population-based information on patients aged 18-99 years diagnosed with primary malignant colon or rectal cancer in Denmark, England, Norway, and Sweden during 2010-2012 was extracted from national CRC registries. We compared the prevalence of PCS by stage and age category, and estimated the probability of receiving it using multivariate logistic regression. Age-standardized net survival was estimated using a multivariable modeling approach. Results: There were 13,230 patients diagnosed with CRC in Denmark, 99,869 in England, 11,754 in Norway, and 17,584 in Sweden between 2010 and 2012. The proportion of patients with missing stage information was higher in England than in the other countries. Stage distribution was otherwise similar. Survival of patients with stage I-II tumors was generally comparable between the countries, but lower in England and - to a lesser degree - in Denmark for stage III-IV disease. Patients with unknown stage had lower survival than staged patients in all countries. We found marked disadvantages in the probability of receiving PCS in older patients with stage II-IV disease in England, and stage IV colon cancer patients in Denmark. The proportion of surgically-treated rectal cancer patients (and their survival) was comparable between Denmark, Norway and Sweden for each combination of age group and stage, except for patients diagnosed with stage I disease. The proportion of patients receiving surgery and survival from rectal cancer was generally lower in England. Conclusion: Denmark seems to be catching up with Norway and Sweden, especially in rectal cancer survival. Despite recent improvements, CRC survival in England remains lower than in Sweden and Norway. Survival generally paralleled countries' relative performance in the provision of potentially curative surgery. Differences in patient selection for surgery, especially in older patients and/or with advanced disease, may partly explain the survival deficit. Increases in the proportion treated, in combination with efforts in postoperative care and with other treatment modalities, may translate into better longer-term outcomes, especially for frail patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) are commonly used. PPIs have been shown to promote liver cancer in rats; however, only one study has examined the association in humans. AIMS To investigate PPIs and H2RAs and risk of primary liver cancer in two large independent study populations. METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study within the Primary Care Clinical Informatics Unit (PCCIU) database in which up to five controls were matched to cases with primary liver cancer, recorded by General Practitioners. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for associations with prescribed PPIs and H2RAs were calculated using conditional logistic regression. We also conducted a prospective cohort study within the UK Biobank using self-reported medication use and cancer-registry recorded primary liver cancer. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs were calculated using Cox regression. RESULTS In the PCCIU case-control analysis, 434 liver cancer cases were matched to 2103 controls. In the UK Biobank cohort, 182 of 475 768 participants developed liver cancer. In both, ever use of PPIs was associated with increased liver cancer risk (adjusted OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.34, 2.41 and adjusted HR 1.99, 95% CI 1.34, 2.94 respectively). There was little evidence of association with H2RA use (adjusted OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.84, 1.76 and adjusted HR 1.70, 95% CI 0.82, 3.53 respectively). CONCLUSIONS We found some evidence that PPI use was associated with liver cancer. Whether this association is causal or reflects residual confounding or reverse causation requires additional research.

Abstract
Although the majority of patients with psoriasis vulgaris are treated exclusively with topical therapies, research to develop more effective topical therapies that are associated with higher patient satisfaction has lagged behind the development of systemic agents. The aim of this literature review was to determine whether there is documented evidence that applying an innovative approach to improving the formulation of active ingredients commonly used in the topical treatment of psoriasis can have a positive effect on clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). The Embase and PubMed databases were searched for articles published between 2001 and 2016 that made direct head-to-head comparisons of different formulations of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), focusing on clinical outcomes and PROs. In total, 22 publications on APIs or API combinations met the eligibility criteria (19 head-to-head clinical trials, one pooled analysis, one health-economic modelling study and one systematic review). Significant clinical benefit associated with the use of a reformulated API over an older formulation was reported in three trials of clobetasol propionate, one trial of calcipotriol, three trials of betamethasone and five trials/pooled analyses of calcipotriol/calcipotriene + betamethasone dipropionate (Cal/BD) formulations. Significantly improved PROs associated with the use of a reformulated API over an older formulation were reported in three trials of clobetasol propionate, one trial of betamethasone valerate and two trials of Cal/BD formulations. These results demonstrate that the innovative reformulation of APIs used in the treatment of psoriasis can produce therapies that attain significantly improved clinical outcomes and PROs. This suggests that improvement in topical therapy for psoriasis need not only to be achieved by the identification of new targets and the development of new APIs, but that improvement in the vehicle used to deliver existing APIs has the potential to result in significant clinical and patient benefits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the social status and health-related quality of life of patients with psoriatic arthritis mutilans (PAM) in the Nordic countries. METHOD Patients with at least one mutilated joint confirmed by radiology were studied. Disease activity involving joints and skin, physician-assessed disease activity, and patient's education and work status were recorded. Data from the 36-item Short Form Health Survey, Health Assessment Questionnaire and Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaire were gathered and correlated with disease duration, pain, and general well-being (visual analogue scale). The controls were 58 Swedish patients with long-standing psoriatic arthritis sine PAM. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients were included. Patients with PAM had a protracted disease history (33 ± 14 years) and disease onset at a relatively early age (30 ± 12 years). Overall inflammatory activity at inclusion was mild to moderate. The mean number of mutilated joints was 8.2 and gross deformity was found in 16% of patients. Forty per cent were treated with biological and 32% with conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. Forty-two per cent had retired early or were on sick leave. Impaired functional capacity with little or no ability to perform self-care or everyday tasks was reported by 21% of the patients. Patients between 45 and 60 years of age reported the most impaired quality of life in comparison to the control group. CONCLUSION PAM seriously affects social functioning. Whether early recognition of PAM and new forms of therapy can improve disease outcome and quality of life remains to be studied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is associated with cardiovascular disease; it has been proposed that increased cardiovascular risk is caused by low-grade systemic inflammation involving organs and tissues other than the skin and joints. OBJECTIVES To investigate signs of vascular inflammation in untreated patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis assessed by 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography. A secondary objective was to assess signs of subcutaneous adipose tissue inflammation. METHODS This was an observational, controlled clinical study including patients with psoriasis (n = 12, mean ± SD age 61·4 ± 4·1 years, 83% men, mean ± SD Psoriasis Area Severity Index score 14·5 ± 4·3) and matched controls (n = 23, mean ± SD age 60·4 ± 4·5 years, 87% men). Vascular inflammation was measured using aortic maximal standardized uptake values (SUVmax ) and the target-to-background ratio (TBRmax ) of the whole vessel and aortic segments. Subcutaneous adipose tissue inflammation was assessed and compared with regard to SUVmax and TBRmax . RESULTS Arterial inflammation was increased in patients with psoriasis vs. controls (mean ± SD whole vessel TBRmax 2·46 ± 0·31 vs. 2·09 ± 0·36; P = 0·005). In patients with psoriasis, higher FDG uptake values were observed for all aortic segments except the ascending aorta. Subcutaneous adipose tissue FDG uptake was increased in patients with psoriasis vs. controls (mean ± SD TBRmax 0·49 ± 0·18 vs. 0·31 ± 0·12; P = 0·002). Associations remained significant after adjusting for body mass index and age. CONCLUSIONS Global arterial inflammation and subcutaneous inflammation were significantly increased in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis compared with controls.
