Abstract
Objectives: To find out the association of cardiovascular and endocrinological disorders with psoriasis
Materials: In the Department of Dermatology of a tertiary care hospital, a cross-sectional study was carried out from 2022 to 2023 with approval from the hospital's ethical review committee. The current study included fifty psoriasis patients who presented in the dermatology outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Lahore as cases. As a control group, fifty patients with skin conditions other than psoriasis were included, and the prevalence of endocrinological and cardiovascular diseases was compared between the two groups. Using SPSS version 16, the Student t test was used to compare the means of different variables. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Result: The gender ratio, mean age, and percentage of smokers were similar in both groups. However, mean BMI was higher in psoriatic patients in comparison to non psoriatic patients. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, decreased HDL, hypertension, and myocardial infarction was higher in psoriatic patients compared to non-psoriatic patients. In comparison to non-psoriatic patients, patients with psoriasis had higher mean blood pressure, mean BMI, mean triglyceride levels (TAG), and mean fasting blood glucose levels (FBGL). In comparison to non-psoriatic patients, the mean value of high density lipoproteins was lower in psoriatic patients.
Conclusion: Raised mean fasting BSR, TAG, low HDL, elevated mean blood pressure, and elevated mean BMI are all statistically positively correlated with psoriasis.
