235 Association of stroke with psoriasis in end-stage renal disease patients
Previous research in the general population suggests that the inflammatory skin disease psoriasis is associated with an increased risk of vascular events, such as stroke. Thus, psoriasis may also represent a significant risk factor for stroke in dialysis patients. We queried the United States Renal Data System for incident dialysis patients between 2004 and 2015. Psoriasis was defined as having at least two ICD-9 or ICD-10 diagnosis codes. ICD codes were also used to query the outcome of interest, stroke, as well as other clinical risk factors.
