Hospitalizations for psoriasis are linked to a 1.5% mortality rate. Many deaths from severe psoriasis may be preventable with appropriate treatment access.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
  • Severe psoriasis exacerbations can be life-threatening.
  • Mortality data associated with psoriasis hospitalizations is not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the mortality rate associated with hospitalizations for psoriasis.
  • To understand the public health impact of severe psoriasis.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of hospitalization data from 1988 to 2001.
  • Review of nationwide death certificate data for specific years (1999-2001).

Main Results:

  • A total of 471 hospital admissions for psoriasis were recorded between 1988 and 2001.

  • The mortality rate during these hospitalizations was 1.5%.
  • Nationwide death certificates documented 29, 33, and 25 deaths attributable to psoriasis in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

    • Conclusions:

    • Despite available effective therapies for severe psoriasis, access remains a challenge.
    • A significant portion of psoriasis-related deaths may be preventable through improved treatment access and utilization.
    • Further research into barriers to care and effective interventions is warranted.
