P>Background Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin reported to be associated with systemic comorbidities. Objectives To investigate the association between psoriasis and coeliac disease (CD). Methods Patients with psoriasis were compared with age- and sex-matched controls regarding the prevalence of CD in a case-control study. chi 2 and t-tests were used for univariate analysis and a logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis. The study was performed utilizing the medical database of Clalit Health Services. Results The study included 12 502 patients with psoriasis aged > 20 years and 24 285 age- and sex-matched controls. The prevalence of CD in patients with psoriasis was increased compared with the prevalence in controls (0 center dot 29% and 0 center dot 11%, respectively, P < 0 center dot 001). In a multivariate analysis psoriasis was associated with CD (odds ratio 2 center dot 73, 95% confidence interval 1 center dot 65-4 center dot 53). Conclusions Patients with psoriasis have a greater prevalence of CD than matched controls. Recent studies showed a possibility of undiagnosed CD among patients with psoriasis. Therefore, physicians treating patients with psoriasis should be aware of this possible association.
