Abstract
PSORIASIS IS a common and chronic disease that is not thought to kill. Little is known about mortality in this patient group, although alcohol- and smoking-related diseases are associated with psoriasis,1 and patients with psoriasis have reported higher alcohol and cigarette consumption than control patients in several studies,2-7 suggesting that excess mortality due to alcohol- and tobacco-related causes might be found among patients with psoriasis. We therefore studied mortality in patients with psoriasis.Keywords
