Popis: Background: Long term data on the real-life use of secukinumab are scant. The aim of this study was to investigate the real-life effectiveness, safety and treatment persistence of secukinumab in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Patient demographic and treatment characteristics, duration of treatment and reasons for discontinuation as well as Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Body Surface Area (BSA), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores were assessed. Results: 324 patients (63% male, mean age 50.2years) were enrolled and received a mean 11.7months of secukinumab treatment.

PASI, BSA and DLQI scores were significantly improved from baseline at every follow-up visit (p
