Socioeconomic costs and health inequalities from psoriasis: A cohort study

Dermatology Jun 30, 2019

Thomsen SF, et al. - Since there are no nationwide studies of the social and economic burden of psoriasis among patients in Denmark, researchers conducted this case-matched study to characterize the disease-associated socioeconomic burden of psoriasis in this population. The National Patient Registry identified a total of 13,025 patients with psoriasis and 25,629 matched controls. According to results, psoriasis was linked to increased healthcare costs, peaking in the year of referral to hospital for psoriasis and sustained thereafter. For psoriasis patients, both direct and indirect costs were significantly higher than controls. Comorbidities in patients with psoriasis were more prevalent than controls, including cardiovascular and psychiatric conditions. In Denmark, psoriasis has been associated with a range of comorbidities and has a significant impact on healthcare costs, income, and employment.
