A significant association existed for psoriasis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), even after adjusting for confounding variables that included gender, age, psoriatic arthropathy, and the use of systemic anti-psoriatic agents, a recent study found. Researchers searched 1 institution's electronic medical record data repository from January 2010 to December 2013. Patients were identified by ICD-9 codes for psoriasis and HT. They found:

• Medical records for 856,615 individuals with documented encounters between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2013, were detected.
• A total of 9,654 had a diagnosis of psoriasis, and 1,745 had a diagnosis of HT.
• Of these, 41 subjects were diagnosed with both conditions.
• This association has broad clinical impact and deserves further attention with regard to patient care, clinical research, and developmental therapeutics.
