Summary

This study will look at the health records of 350 people with psoriasis in Costa Rica to find out how many also have conditions like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or psoriatic arthritis. Researchers want to understand how these problems relate to psoriasis severity and the treatments patients receive. No new treatments or changes to care are involved—just gathering existing information.

Who is studied

The study population comprises adolescents and adults (≥12 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis documented in the Electronic Health Record (EHR-EDUS) of Hospital Calderón Guardia who were evaluated in outpatient dermatology or rheumatology clinics between 2024 and 2025. Eligible patients received systemic therapy and/or phototherapy for psoriasis and had sufficient clinical information to assess disease severity, metabolic comorbidities, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and psoriatic arthritis. This hospital-based cohort reflects real-world patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis managed in specialized care within the Costa Rican public health system during the study period.
