The association of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) with psoriasis has broad clinical impact and deserves further attention with regard to patient care, clinical research, and developmental therapeutics, according to a recent cross-sectional retrospective study. Researchers searched an electronic medical record data repository from January 2010 to December 2013; patients were identified by ICD-9 codes for psoriasis. Only data from patients with laboratory-confirmed HT were eligible for inclusion. Medical records for 856,615 individuals with documented encounters were detected. They found:

• A total of 9,654 patients had a diagnosis of psoriasis, and 1,745 had a diagnosis of HT.
• Of these, 41 subjects were diagnosed with both conditions.
• A significant association existed for psoriasis and HT, even after adjusting for confounding variables that included gender, age, psoriatic arthropathy, and the use of systemic anti-psoriatic agents.
