Key clinical point: Patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) treated with anti-interleukin-23 (anti-IL-23) antibodies are at a significantly higher risk for ischemic cerebral stroke (ICS) compared with individuals from the general population.
Major finding: The risk for ICS was significantly higher among patients receiving anti-IL-23 treatment compared with individuals from the general population (hazard ratio 1.770; P = .03).
Study details: This comparative observational study included patients with psoriasis or PsA who received anti-IL-23 (n = 7051), anti-IL-17 (n = 12,215), anti-IL-12/23 (n = 2819), anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (n = 2133), or apremilast (n = 13,139) therapy, whereas individuals with at least 1 healthcare consumption in a month formed the control group (n = 33,428,380).
Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. T Passeron declared receiving grants or honoraria from various sources. The other authors declared no conflicts of interest.
