Abstract
Background and objectives

The immune and inflammatory pathways involved in psoriasis could favour the development of atherosclerosis, consequently increasing mortality. The objectives of this study were: (1) to assess the mortality of a population with psoriasis compared to a control group, and (2) to assess the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors.

Patients and method

A retrospective cohort was analyzed from a secondary database (electronic medical record). All patients with a diagnosis of psoriasis at 1-01-2010 were included in the study and compared to a control group of the same health system, selected randomly (1:1). Subjects with a history of cardiovascular disease were excluded from the study. A survival analysis was performed considering death from any cause as an event. Follow-up was extended until 30-06-2015.

Results

We included 1481 subjects with psoriasis and 1500 controls. Prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was higher in the group with psoriasis. The average follow-up time was 4.6±1.7 years. Mortality was higher in psoriasis patients compared to controls (15.1 vs. 9.6 events per 1000 person-year, p<.005). Psoriasis was seen to be significantly associated with increased mortality rates compared to the control group in the univariate analysis (HR 1.58, 95% CI 1.16–2.15, p=.004) and after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors (HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.08–2.3, p=.014).

Conclusion

In this population, patients with psoriasis showed a higher prevalence for the onset of cardiovascular risk factors as well as higher mortality rates during follow-up.

Resumen
Fundamentos y objetivos

Las modificaciones inmunológicas e inflamatorias observadas en la psoriasis podrían favorecer el desarrollo de la aterosclerosis, aumentando consecuentemente la mortalidad. Los objetivos fueron: 1) determinar la mortalidad de una población con psoriasis en comparación con un grupo control, y 2) conocer la prevalencia de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular.

Pacientes y método

Se analizó una cohorte retrospectiva a partir de una base de datos secundaria (historia clínica electrónica). Se incluyeron todos los pacientes con diagnóstico de psoriasis a 1-01-2010, comparándolos con un grupo control del mismo sistema de salud, seleccionados de forma aleatoria (relación 1:1). Se excluyeron los sujetos con antecedentes cardiovasculares. Se realizó un análisis de sobrevida, determinando como episodio la muerte por cualquier causa. El seguimiento se extendió hasta el 30-6-2015.

Resultados

Se analizaron 1.481 pacientes con psoriasis y 1.500 controles. La prevalencia de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular fue más elevada en el grupo con psoriasis. El tiempo promedio de seguimiento fue de 4,6±1,7 años. La mortalidad fue mayor en los psoriásicos en comparación con los controles (15,1 frente a 9,6 episodios cada 1.000 personas-año, p<0,005). La psoriasis se asoció significativamente con una mayor mortalidad en comparación con el grupo control en el análisis univariado (HR 1,58, IC 95% 1,16-2,15, p=0,004) y luego de ajustar por los factores de riesgo cardiovascular (HR 1,48, IC 95% 1,08-2,3, p=0,014).

Conclusión

En esta población, los pacientes con psoriasis mostraron una mayor prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascular en el momento del diagnóstico y una mayor mortalidad en el seguimiento.
