Popis: Background Limited information is available regarding the risk of incident liver disease in patients with psoriasis receiving systemic therapies. Objectives To describe the liver safety findings of conventional and modern systemic therapies for moderate-to-severe psoriasis, and to compare the relative incidence rates of hepatic adverse events (AEs) for each drug. Methods All the patients on the BIOBADADERM registry were included. Crude and adjusted incidence rate ratios (cIRR and aIRR, respectively) of hepatic AEs, using anti-TNF drugs as reference, were determined. Outcomes of interest were hypertransaminasemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NADFLD) and a group of other, less represented, hepatic AEs. Results Our study included 3,171 patients exposed to systemic drugs (6279 treatment cycles). Incident hypertransaminasemia was the most frequent hepatic AE (incidence rate of 21 per 1000 patients-years [CI 95% 18–23]), followed by NAFLD (8 cases per 1000 patients-years [95% CI 6–10]). Methotrexate (aIRR 3.06 [2.31–4.4]; p = 0.000) and cyclosporine (aIRR 2.37 [1.05–5.35]; p = .0378) were associated with an increased risk for hypertransaminasemia when compared to anti-TNF-α agents. No differences were observed between different groups of biologics. Conventional therapies were not associated with new incident NAFLD. Conclusions Comparative information of the incidence of hepatic AEs could facilitate drug selection in moderate-to-severe psoriasis.
