An analysis of psoriasis hospitalisation in Thailand.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Psoriasis hospitalisation is not frequently reported. The objective of this study was to determine (1) the clinical, laboratory and treatment features of patients with psoriasis hospitalised due to flare-up and (2) other causes of admission of patients with psoriasis. We retrospectively reviewed data on 48 patients admitted due to psoriasis flare-up and 1908 patients with psoriasis admitted due to concomitant illnesses or comorbidities. The study period was 2005-2021. The latter group was compared with 821,804 patients without psoriasis admitted during the period. Of the 48 cases, 37.5% had erythroderma, and 62.5% had generalised pustular psoriasis (GPP). Women (68.8%) predominated, especially in the GPP group (76.7%). The mean age of admission with erythroderma (44.8 years) was higher than for GPP (32.1 years). Infection was the main trigger for psoriasis flare-up (46%). Abnormalities in liver function tests were found in 33.3% of the cases. These abnormalities usually subsided 1-2 months after skin improvement (83.4%). Acitretin was the most prescribed drug for GPP (81.4%), whereas topical treatment alone (50%) was the most frequent erythroderma therapy. Intensive care was needed by 9.3% of patients with GPP. In the psoriasis group admitted due to concomitant illnesses or comorbidities, admission due to digestive and infectious causes was significantly higher for psoriasis patients. Our study showed that trend of psoriasis admission due to disease flare-up was not significantly changed even in the era of biologics. We believed that patient education on avoiding the common precipitating factors of psoriasis flare-up and good self-care is mandatory to reduce the risk of hospitalisation.
