Popis: Abstract Background Patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have increased risk of adverse events, including serious infections (SI), compared with psoriasis patients. Methods Patients eligible for, or receiving conventional systemic and biologic agents for psoriasis were followed prospectively using PSOLAR. Cohorts included: ustekinumab, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors; infliximab; etanercept; adalimumab; non-biologic/methotrexate (MTX) (reference group); and non-biologic/non-MTX. Multivariate analyses using Cox hazard regression were used to identify factors associated with time to first SI. Rates of SI in PSOLAR psoriasis patients with self-reported PsA and possible risks with biologic therapy were evaluated. Results PSOLAR enrolled 4315 psoriasis patients with self-reported PsA. The overall population (N = 2401) included patients (n): 628 ustekinumab; 1413 TNF inhibitors; 258 infliximab; 481 etanercept; 674 adalimumab; 54 other biologics, 98 non-biologic/MTX; 208 non-biologic/non-MTX. Overall, 138 SI were reported with incidence rates per 100 patient-years as follows: a) ustekinumab: 1.00; b) TNF inhibitors: 2.22; c) infliximab: 2.12; d) etanercept: 2.58; e) adalimumab: 1.99; f) non-biologic/MTX: 3.01; g) and non-biologic/non-MTX: 2.31. Age, time-dependent disease activity Physician’s Global Assessment (PGA) of 4, 5, history of infection, and diabetes were associated with increased risk for SI (p
