Overview

Retrospective analysis shows higher prevalence of acute periapical abscesses in psoriasis, indicating need for multidisciplinary care.

Key Points

  • Assess relationship between psoriasis and prevalence of acute periapical abscesses while adjusting for confounders.
  • Retrospective analysis of 2,108,676 patients' clinical data.
  • Identified psoriasis and acute periapical abscess diagnoses using standardized coding.
  • Performed multivariable logistic regression to account for related factors.
  • Out of 16,084 psoriasis patients, 224 had acute periapical abscesses.
  • Psoriasis associated with higher prevalence of acute abscesses compared to overall population (OR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.94-2.53; p < 0.0001).
  • Significant association remained after adjustments for diabetes (OR, 1.40), nicotine dependence (OR, 1.31), alcohol disorders (OR, 1.89), and biologic therapy (OR, 1.77).
