Key clinical point: Patients with positive fecal immunochemistry test (FIT) results showed a significantly higher risk for psoriasis than those who were FIT-negative.
Major finding: During a 6.68-year median follow-up, the incidence rate of psoriasis per 1000 person-years was higher for the FIT-positive vs the FIT-negative group (4.14 vs 3.76). After multivariable adjustment, the adjusted hazard ratios for psoriasis were 1.029 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.997-1.061), 1.118 (95% CI, 1.04-1.201), and 1.342 (95% CI, 1.157-1.557) for 1, 2, and 3 positive FIT results, respectively, vs negative FIT results.
Study details: Findings are from a retrospective nationwide population-based study of 1,395,147 participants aged 50 years or above who underwent screening for colorectal cancer.
Disclosures: The study was supported by the New Faculty Startup Fund from Seoul National University. The authors declared no potential conflict of interests.
