In a cross-sectional study of 105 patients with psoriasis and 73 controls, overall jaw functional limitation did not differ significantly between groups.
2
Patients with psoriatic arthritis had higher mean jaw limitation scores than those without arthritis (0.80 vs 0.45), and PsA remained independently associated with limitation.
3
Psoriasis severity was independently associated with poorer sleep quality, while PsA status was not independently associated with sleep quality.
4
Poor sleep quality was reported by 7% of patients receiving biologics, compared with 60% receiving no systemic therapy or nonbiologic systemic therapy.
5
The single-center cross-sectional study relied on patient-reported measures and included a small sample, limiting causal interpretation and generalizability.
Genetically predicted triglyceride levels were associated with higher odds of psoriasis, while genetically predicted total fatty acid levels were not, in a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.
