Psoriasis treatment patterns: a retrospective claims study.

CONCLUSION: Most patients lost persistence on initial treatment by 12 months, and majority restarted treatment. This may indicate poor compliance or cyclical nature of psoriasis. More patients switched from an oral to biologic than vice versa, likely due to formulary design and preference for orals. Studies are needed to investigate underlying reasons and patient characteristics that differentiate treatment utilization. PMID: 31081697 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
