  • For each outcome of interest, the effect of psoriasis (yes/no) is reported after adjustment on variables associated with the outcome of interest in univariable tests (according to a p<0.20).

  • Values in bold are significant values at p-value <0.05 in multivariable analyses at 6 years and over 6 years.

  • *Last assessment at year 5.
