Abstract
There is limited data assessing length of stay, cost of care, and differences in demographic data in hospitalized psoriasis patients with and without cardiovascular disease. Our study compares hospitalized psoriatic patients with and without comorbid cardiovascular disease for differences in length of stay and cost of care, as well as to assess differences in patient demographics. A cross-sectional study of hospital encounters of patients under the age of 60 with psoriasis in the National Inpatient Sample from 2016 to 2020 was performed using univariate analyses and a multivariable logistic regression model. A total of 2,485 psoriasis hospitalizations were included. 2,145 (86.3%) had psoriasis without cardiovascular disease and 340 (13.7%) had psoriasis with cardiovascular disease. Linear regression models identified significantly longer lengths of stay (Beta: 1.6; SE: 0.721; P = 0.030) and higher cost of care (Beta: 4,946; SE: 1,920; P = 0.011) in psoriasis patients with cardiovascular comorbidities.
