Female patients with psoriasis may be more likely to develop psoriatic arthritis, according to a recent retrospective cohort study. The study suggests that screening for related clinical characteristics could potentially help in identifying those at higher risk. However, further research may be needed to fully understand and confirm these predictive factors.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can cause red, scaly patches on the skin that may be itchy or painful. In some cases, psoriasis can also lead to joint inflammation and arthritis, known as psoriatic arthritis. Early detection and management of psoriasis and related conditions are crucial in preventing complications and improving overall quality of life for patients.
