Key clinical point: Patients with concomitant psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) vs only psoriasis were more likely to experience mild depressive symptoms and anxiety, with the association being mediated by pain.
Major finding: Among patients with psoriasis, those with vs without PsA had a higher prevalence of mild depressive symptoms (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS] score ≥8: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.64; P = .037) but not severe depressive symptoms (HADS score ≥ 11) and a high prevalence of mild-to-severe anxiety (HADS score ≥ 8: aOR 1.51; P = .038 and HADS score ≥ 11; aOR 1.62; P = .037). Pain mediated the effect of PsA on depression and anxiety.
Study details: The data of 707 British Association of Dermatologists Biologic and Immunomodulators Register participants (540 with psoriasis and 167 with both psoriasis and PsA) were analyzed.
Disclosures: This study was funded by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Manchester Biomedical Research Centre.
