Abstract
BACKGROUND Sufficient data on access to systemic treatment for patients with psoriasis living in Latin America (LA) including Chile and Brazil are lacking. Understanding the availability and limiting factors of access to treatments can help to improve patient care and decrease long-term healthcare costs. OBJECTIVE In association with the Global Psoriasis Atlas, this cross-sectional survey study analysed the availability and insurance reimbursement of systemic treatments for adult psoriasis patients in Brazil and Chile. METHODS A multi-centre, cross-sectional 'Global Healthcare Study on Psoriasis' (GHSP) was performed in Brazil and Chile in 2020. For each eligible adult psoriasis patient, doctors and nurses completed a 48-item questionnaire about clinical aspects of psoriasis including the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), Body Surface Area (BSA), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), as well as the availability of systemic treatments and insurance reimbursement status. Between-country differences were compared with Wilcoxon rank sum tests for continuous variables, and a chi-square test, or Fisher´s exact test where appropriate, for categorical variables. The median and inter-quartile range (IQR) was calculated for non-normal distributed data. RESULTS A total of 1,424 psoriasis patients from 43 centres, 27 centres in Brazil (n = 826) and 16 in Chile (n = 598), were included with a mean age of 49.1 years (±16.3) and 49.2 years (±15.1) respectively. Unstratified analyses revealed that psoriasis patients in Chile had more severe disease than those in Brazil (PASI 11.7 vs. 8.4 (p < 0.001) and BSA 14.7 vs. 12.0 (p = 0.003) respectively). For patients with moderate-to- severe psoriasis, defined as PASI and/or BSA ≥ 10, systemic non-biologic drugs were available (81.2% in Brazil and 65.3% in Chile, p ≤ 0.001), but only 37.0% of patients in Brazil and 27.3% in Chile received biologics (p = 0.01). Lack of availability and/or lack of insurance reimbursement for biological drugs for moderate-to-severe psoriasis patients was reported for 22.2% (50 out of 357) in Brazil and 67.9% (148 out of 300) in Chile (p < 0.001). Patients with no access to biologic therapies due to lack of availability/insurance reimbursement had a median PASI of 9.15 (IQR 3.00, 14.25) in Brazil and 12.0 (IQR 5.00, 19.00) in Chile (p = 0.007), as well as a median BSA of 7.0 (IQR 3.00, 15.00) and 12.0 (IQR 5.00, 22.50) (p = 0.002), and median DLQI of 11.0 (6.00, 15.00) and 21.0 (6.50, 25.00) (p = 0.007) respectively. CONCLUSION Chilean patients had significantly more severe psoriasis compared to Brazilian patients in our study. While non-biologic treatments for moderate-to-severe psoriasis were available in both Latin American countries, there is a high need for an improvement in access to more effective psoriasis treatment including biologics. Our results highlight a significant gap between treatment recommendations in international psoriasis guidelines and real-world situations in Brazil and Chile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-adherence to immune-modifying therapy is a complex behaviour which, before the COVID-19 pandemic, was shown to be associated with mental health disorders in people with immune-mediated diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rise in the global prevalence of anxiety and depression, and limited data exist on the association between mental health and non-adherence to immune modifying therapy during the pandemic. OBJECTIVES To assess the extent of and reasons underlying non-adherence to systemic immune-modifying therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic in individuals with psoriasis, and the association between mental health and non-adherence. METHODS Online self-report surveys (PsoProtectMe), including validated screens for anxiety and depression, were completed globally during the first year of the pandemic. We assessed the association between anxiety or depression and non-adherence to systemic immune-modifying therapy using binomial logistic regression, adjusting for potential cofounders (age, sex, ethnicity, comorbidity), and country of residence. RESULTS Of 3980 participants from 77 countries, 1611 (40.5%) were prescribed a systemic immune-modifying therapy. Of these, 408 (25.3%) reported non-adherence during the pandemic, most commonly due to concerns about their immunity. In the unadjusted model, a positive anxiety screen was associated with non-adherence to systemic immune-modifying therapy (OR 1.36, 95%CI 1.07-1.76). Specifically, anxiety was associated with non-adherence to targeted therapy (OR 1.41, 95%CI 1.01-1.96) but not standard systemic therapy (OR 1.16, 95%CI 0.81-1.67). In the adjusted model, although the directions of the effects remained, anxiety was not significantly associated with non-adherence to overall systemic (OR 1.20, 95%CI 0.92-1.56) or targeted (OR 1.33, 95%CI 0.94-1.89) immune-modifying therapy. A positive depression screen was not strongly associated with non-adherence to systemic immune-modifying therapy in the unadjusted (OR 1.22, 95% CI 0.94-1.57) or adjusted models (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.87-1.49). CONCLUSION These data indicate substantial non-adherence to immune-modifying therapy in people with psoriasis during the pandemic, with attenuation of the association with mental health after adjusting for confounders. Future research in larger populations should further explore pandemic-specific drivers of treatment non-adherence. Clear communication of the reassuring findings from population-based research regarding immune-modifying therapy-associated adverse COVID-19 risks to people with psoriasis is essential, to optimise adherence and disease outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with several important medical comorbidities. There are scant data available on the comorbidities of patients with psoriasis in South America. AIM To examine the comorbidity profile of adult patients with psoriasis in Chile and its association with severity of psoriasis. METHODS This was a multicentre, cross-sectional study involving 16 hospitals and clinics in Chile, which used a 48-item questionnaire to study clinician- and patient-reported outcomes and comorbidities. Inferential analyses were performed by psoriasis severity, using Fisher exact test, Student t-test and multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS In total, 598 adult patients with psoriasis were included (51.1% male; mean age 49.2 ± 15.1 years); 48.5% mild and 51.4% moderate to severe; Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 11.6 ± 11.5; body surface area 14.7 ± 18.2%. Plaque psoriasis was the most common phenotype (90.2%), followed by guttate (13.4%). Psoriatic arthritis occurred in 27.3% of patients. Comorbidities were reported in 60.2% of all patients with psoriasis. Frequent concomitant diseases were obesity (25.3%), hypertension (24.3%), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (18.7%), dyslipidaemia (17.4%), metabolic syndrome (16.7%) and depression (14.4%). After adjustment, significant associations were found between moderate to severe psoriasis and obesity, T2DM and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) compared with mild psoriasis. CONCLUSIONS We report a large study of comorbidities, including depression, dyslipidaemia, T2DM and NAFLD, in people with psoriasis in Chile. The prevalence of comorbidities with psoriasis in Chile appears similar to that found in Western countries, and emphasizes the importance of assessing patients with psoriasis for risk factors for and presence of, comorbid disease in a multidisciplinary setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The multimorbid burden and use of systemic immunosuppressants in people with psoriasis may confer greater risk of adverse outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the data are limited. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to characterize the course of COVID-19 in patients with psoriasis and identify factors associated with hospitalization. METHODS Clinicians reported patients with psoriasis with confirmed/suspected COVID-19 via an international registry, Psoriasis Patient Registry for Outcomes, Therapy and Epidemiology of COVID-19 Infection. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the association between clinical and/or demographic characteristics and hospitalization. A separate patient-facing registry characterized risk-mitigating behaviors. RESULTS Of 374 clinician-reported patients from 25 countries, 71% were receiving a biologic, 18% were receiving a nonbiologic, and 10% were not receiving any systemic treatment for psoriasis. In all, 348 patients (93%) were fully recovered from COVID-19, 77 (21%) were hospitalized, and 9 (2%) died. Increased hospitalization risk was associated with older age (multivariable-adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.59 per 10 years; 95% CI = 1.19-2.13), male sex (OR = 2.51; 95% CI = 1.23-5.12), nonwhite ethnicity (OR = 3.15; 95% CI = 1.24-8.03), and comorbid chronic lung disease (OR = 3.87; 95% CI = 1.52-9.83). Hospitalization was more frequent in patients using nonbiologic systemic therapy than in those using biologics (OR = 2.84; 95% CI = 1.31-6.18). No significant differences were found between classes of biologics. Independent patient-reported data (n = 1626 across 48 countries) suggested lower levels of social isolation in individuals receiving nonbiologic systemic therapy than in those receiving biologics (OR = 0.68; 95% CI = 0.50-0.94). CONCLUSION In this international case series of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, biologic use was associated with lower risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization than with use of nonbiologic systemic therapies; however, further investigation is warranted on account of potential selection bias and unmeasured confounding. Established risk factors (being older, being male, being of nonwhite ethnicity, and having comorbidities) were associated with higher hospitalization rates.
