[PMID: 38364575 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, is often accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and other mental disorders. Psychological disorders may also play a role in the development and progression of psoriasis. The intricate interplay between the skin diseases and the psychiatric comorbidities is mediated by the 'skin-brain axis'. Understanding the mechanisms underlying psoriasis and psychiatric comorbidities can help improve the efficacy of treatment by breaking the vicious cycle of diseases. T cells and related cytokines play a key role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and psychiatric diseases, and are crucial components of the 'skin-brain axis'. Apart from damaging the blood-brain barrier (BBB) directly, T cells and secreted cytokines could interact with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to exacerbate skin diseases or mental disorders. However, few reviews have systematically summarized the roles and mechanisms of T cells in the interaction between psoriasis and psychiatric comorbidities. In this review, we discussed several key T cells and their roles in the 'skin-brain axis', with a focus on the mechanisms underlying the interplay between psoriasis and mental commodities, to provide data that might help develop effective strategies for the treatment of both psoriasis and psychiatric comorbidities.

Clinical characterization, physical frailty, and depression in elderly patients with psoriasis from a reference center in Brazil: a cross-sectional study. An Bras Dermatol 2024; 99:19-26. [PMID: 37612180 DOI: 10.1016/j.abd.2023.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies dedicated to the characterization of the geriatric population with psoriasis, which has particularities in terms of clinical manifestations and therapeutic limitations. As psoriasis is a chronic disease, presenting a higher prevalence with age, the increase in life expectancy in Brazil demands knowledge about the behavior of the disease among the elderly. OBJECTIVES To characterize elderly people with psoriasis from a tertiary service, from the clinical-epidemiological point of view, presence of comorbidities, physical frailty, and affective impact, and to compare these aspects with adults with psoriasis and elderly people without the disease. METHODS Cross-sectional study of 64 elderly patients with psoriasis, 64 adults with psoriasis, and 64 elderly patients without the disease. Clinical-demographic aspects, the Beck depression scale, and Skindex-16 were evaluated. Indicators of physical frailty were evaluated in elderly patients: handgrip, sit-to-stand test, fatigue, and weight loss >5%. RESULTS In the elderly, the mean age (SD) of psoriasis onset was 44 (10) years, men represented 47% of the sample, the prevalence of arthritis was 22%, and ungual involvement occurred in 72%. Topical corticosteroids were used more often among elderly people with psoriasis (100%) than among adults with the disease (86%), with no difference among other systemic treatments. Diabetes mellitus occurred in 30% of the elderly. Hypertension (59%), dyslipidemia (52%), depression (34%), and fatigue (59%) were more prevalent among the elderly with psoriasis than among the healthy controls. STUDY LIMITATIONS The study was carried out in a public reference service for patients with psoriasis, all of which were undergoing treatment. CONCLUSIONS Elderly people with psoriasis from a tertiary service showed greater affective impairment, metabolic comorbidities, and physical frailty than elderly controls.

Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2023; 13:3043-3055. [PMID: 37995052 PMCID: PMC10689612 DOI: 10.1007/s13555-023-01060-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Psoriasis is associated with various comorbidities with a notable psychosocial burden. This systematic literature review explores the burden of depression in patients with psoriasis, comparing it with that experienced by patients with other chronic medical conditions. Embase via Ovid, PubMed, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews via Ovid were searched for peer-reviewed studies published in English between January 1, 2016 and December 6, 2021 that reported real-world evidence or observational studies involving at least 100 adults (age ≥ 18 years) with general (unspecified) or plaque psoriasis experiencing symptoms of depression (but not restricted to patients with a clinical diagnosis). Any report of depression or suicidality was eligible for inclusion. Systematic literature reviews reporting depression/suicidality in other chronic medical conditions were also included. Statistical analysis was not performed; the study was descriptive only. A total of 1744 records were identified, and after several defined screenings by two independent reviewers for publication year, relevance, and sample size, 82 publications were included. Psoriasis was significantly associated with depression. The prevalence of depression in patients with psoriasis ranged from 0.2% to 74.6%, with incidence from 4.83 to 91.9 per 1000 person-years. The prevalence of depression was generally higher among patients with more severe psoriasis than those with less severe disease (as determined by Psoriasis Area Severity Index [PASI] scoring system) and was more prevalent among women than men with psoriasis. Depression in psoriasis significantly reduced quality of life, including factors such as sexual dysfunction, sleep difficulties, subjective well-being, and addictions. Comorbid hypertension, hyperlipidemia, psoriatic arthritis, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, and statin use were all associated with increased depression risk in patients with psoriasis. This systematic literature review found that the burden of depression in psoriasis is no lower than in other chronic medical conditions. Greater awareness of the psychological impact of psoriasis would improve care and management, which should incorporate psychological interventions.

Abstract
Relevant evidence regarding the risk of incident breast cancer in patients with psoriasis is lacking. Hence, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the risk of breast cancer in patients with psoriasis. We searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases from inception to December 31, 2021, for relevant cohort studies without language limitations. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to determine the quality of the selected papers. A random-effects model meta-analysis was performed to obtain the pooled hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for breast cancer in relation to psoriasis. We also performed a subgroup analysis of patients with mild-to-moderate-to-severe psoriasis. We included seven cohort studies, all of which were considered high quality, and three of them provided data for meta-analysis. The risk for breast cancer did not increase among patients with psoriasis (pooled HR: 1.11, 95% CI 0.97-1.27; I2 = 67%). In the subgroup analysis, the risk for breast cancer did not significantly increase among patients with mild psoriasis (pooled HR: 1.04, 95% CI 0.97-1.12; I2 = 6%), and the risk for breast cancer did not significantly increase among those with moderate-to-severe psoriasis (pooled HR: 0.96, 95% CI 0.72-1.28; I2 = 0%). Patients with mild or moderate-to-severe psoriasis are not at an elevated risk of breast cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To systematically assess the magnitude of suicidal behavior among PsA patients and identify associated risk factors. Also identify common genes or coinherited single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) implicated in suicidal behavior and PsA. METHODS Based on the PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic literature review of the online databases PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and EMBASE from inception to May 2022. Full-text original articles that describe suicidal behavior in PsA patients were eligible. All registered genome-wide association study (GWAS) data in the GWAS catalog database for PsA and psychiatric traits, such as suicidal behavior, and depression, were downloaded for further analysis. RESULTS A total of 48 articles were identified, and 6 were relevant to the study question .Among the 122,160 PsA patients, 700 had suicidal behavior (0,57%). The range of age in one study was between 30 and 49 years, and 64% of PsA patients with suicidal behavior were female. Among 13,899 PsA patients 74 had suicidal ideation (0.53%) and 125 suicide attempts occurred (0.9%). In two studies, among 17,383 patients, 13 complete suicides occurred (0.07%). A genetic haplotype on chromosomal region 6p21.1, spanning from 29,597,596 to 32,251,264 Mb, contains predisposing SNPs for PsA and depression. 6p21.1-6p21.3 is the chromosomal region containing the HLA genes of classes I, II and III. CONCLUSION Suicide behavior in PsA patients was associated with depression and other psychiatric comorbidities. Further evidence supports a genetic origin, at least partly. Awareness of these findings can help clinicians to recognize suicide behavior and prevent suicide attempts.

Abstract
Previous meta-analyses have produced conflicting conclusions about suicidality risk among psoriasis patients. We aimed to update the evidence on the risk for the whole continuum of incident suicidality in psoriasis patients. We performed an update systematic review and meta-analysis and searched CENTRAL, PubMed, and Embase from January 1, 2017 to August 14, 2021 for relevant new cohort studies and incorporated new studies into our previous systematic review. Random-effects model meta-analysis was used to obtain pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analysis was conducted according to age and disease severity. A total of 12 studies were included in this meta-analysis. We detected no significant differences in the risk for incident completed suicide (HR 1.33, 95% CI 0.91-1.95), suicide attempt (HR 1.22, 95% CI 0.96-1.56), suicidal behavior (HR 1.08, 95% CI 0.98-1.19), and suicide ideation (HR 1.74, 95% CI 0.99-3.06) between psoriasis patients and non-psoriatic controls. In the subgroup analysis based on age, an increased risk for incident suicide ideation was observed in pediatric subgroup (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.12-2.03). The updated evidence suggests no increased risk for whole continuum of incident suicidality spectrum in psoriasis patients but an increased risk for incident suicide ideation among pediatric psoriasis patients. Involving mental health professionals may be crucial in psoriasis management especially in young patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and suicide has increased in patients with psoriasis, although no study has systematically analyzed the epidemiology worldwide. OBJECTIVE To explore the prevalence and incidence of psoriasis with comorbid mental disorders (i.e., depression, anxiety, and suicide). METHODS Five databases from establishment through May 2022 were searched. Stata SE 15.1 was used for the data analysis. Subgroup, meta-regression, and sensitivity analyses were used to evaluate the heterogeneity of pooled studies. RESULTS We evaluated 56 studies in our research. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and suicide in adults with psoriasis was 20%, 21%, and 0.77%. Patients with psoriasis in North America had a higher prevalence of depression and suicide, whereas those in South America had a higher prevalence of anxiety. The incidence of depression, anxiety, and suicide was 42.1, 24.7, and 2.6 per 1000 person-years in adults with psoriasis, respectively. LIMITATIONS All of the included studies were published in Chinese and English, causing a degree of selection bias. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate the incidence and prevalence of comorbid mental disorders in patients with psoriasis, which may raise awareness among physicians and patients regarding the mental problems associated with psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis has a devastating psychological impact on patients' quality of life. However, the relationship between suicidality and psoriasis remains unclear. OBJECTIVE This study analysed and compared the risk of suicidality (suicidal ideation, suicide attempt and completed suicide) between patients with psoriasis and the general population. METHODS This nationwide, population-based, retrospective, cohort study analysed the Korean National Health Insurance Service claim data from 2005 to 2018. RESULTS The study included 348,439 patients with psoriasis aged over 18 years and with age- and sex-matched controls. The risk of suicidality was higher in the psoriasis group than in the control group [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.21; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.18-1.24]. The aHR of suicidality was higher in the psoriatic arthritis group (aHR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.39-1.54) than in the psoriasis-alone group (aHR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.13-1.20). However, the severity of psoriasis and suicidality showed no correlation (mild psoriasis group: aHR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.18-1.25; moderate-to-severe psoriasis group: aHR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.10-1.23). CONCLUSION Patients with psoriasis have an increased risk of suicidality. In particular, the presence of arthritis in patients had a more significant effect on the risk of suicidality.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that remains active for a long period, even for life in most patients. The impact of psoriasis on health is not only limited to the skin, but also influences multiple systems of the body, even mental health. With the increasing of literature on the association between psoriasis and extracutaneous systems, a better understanding of psoriasis as an autoimmune disease with systemic inflammation is created. Except for cardiometabolic diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, chronic kidney diseases, malignancy, and infections that have received much attention, the association between psoriasis and more systemic diseases, including the skin system, reproductive system, and oral and ocular systems has also been revealed, and mental health diseases draw more attention not just because of the negative mental and mood influence caused by skin lesions, but a common immune-inflammatory mechanism identified of the two systemic diseases. This review summarizes the epidemiological evidence supporting the association between psoriasis and important and/or newly reported systemic diseases in the past 5 years, and may help to comprehensively recognize the comorbidity burden related to psoriasis, further to improve the management of people with psoriasis.

Risk of psychiatric disorders in patients taking isotretinoin: A nationwide, population-based, cohort study in Taiwan. J Affect Disord 2022; 296:277-282. [PMID: 34628248 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2021.09.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Revised: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND After isotretinoin's approval to treat patients with recalcitrant acne, there have been continued debates around its psychiatric safety profile. This study aimed to assess the risk of psychiatric disorders in patients with acne who are taking isotretinoin. METHODS We used de-identified information from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database from 2000 to 2015 to examine the risk for psychiatric disorders among patients with acne who were taking isotretinoin. We performed subgroup analyses based on the dosage and duration of isotretinoin administration. RESULTS This study included 29,943 participants during a 16-year follow-up period. We found no significantly increased risk for psychiatric disorders among patients taking isotretinoin compared with patients who did not receive isotretinoin treatment (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.009, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.422-1.696). Subgroup analyses showed no significantly increased risk for psychiatric disorders in patients taking different doses of isotretinoin (≤ 20 mg per day, aHR: 0.892, 95% CI: 0.371-1.501; > 20 mg per day, aHR: 1.068, 95% CI: 0.446-1.798). There was also no significant increase in risk for patients undergoing isotretinoin treatment over different periods (≤ 6 months, aHR: 0.924, 95% CI: 0.392-1.612; > 6 months, aHR: 1.196, 95% CI: 0.488-2.004). LIMITATIONS We did not analyze the risk of suicidal ideation, and it could be underestimated in medical claims databases. CONCLUSIONS We found no increased risk of psychiatric disorders among Taiwanese patients with acne who were taking isotretinoin. Higher dosage or longer duration of isotretinoin treatment did not increase the risk for developing a psychiatric disorder.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION End-stage renal disease is a serious public health issue. The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to assess the association between hemodialysis and cognitive impairment, while controlling for age, sex, residence, and comorbidities. METHODS This study assesses the risk of cognitive impairment among a nationwide cohort of new hemodialysis patients derived from the NHIRD. RESULTS A total of 4330 patients were assigned to the dialysis group and 17 320 patients were assigned to the control group. A total of 2103 of the patients developed cognitive impairment within 2 years after the date of dialysis initiation. Patients who developed cognitive impairment were older (69.85 ± 11.56) than their counterparts who did not develop cognitive impairment (58.58 ± 14.77; P < .001). The log-rank test of Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a higher risk of cognitive impairment in the hemodialysis group than in the non-hemodialysis group (P < .001). The interval between dialysis initiation and the onset of cognitive impairment was 98.66 ± 46.39 months among non-dialysis subjects and 53.45 ± 41.90 months among dialysis subjects, and the between-group difference was significant (P < .001). The Cox Proportional Hazard Model revealed that after controlling for gender, age, residence, and comorbidities, hemodialysis was shown to have a significant impact on cognitive impairment (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 1.44; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29-1.60). Furthermore, the risk of developing cognitive impairment increased with age (HR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.06-1.08). DISCUSSION Hemodialysis was associated with cognitive impairment. There was a significant association between age and cognitive impairment, regardless of the comorbidities prior to hemodialysis. There was no evidence of an association between comorbidities and cognitive impairment after beginning hemodialysis.
