Additionally, evidence of their safety and efficacy remains limited, despite some real\u2010world studies. To assess the safety and efficacy of biologics in elderly patients with psoriasis, we compared these outcomes in younger patients using data from the West Japan Psoriasis Registry (WJPR). The WJPR consists of approximately 30 facilities in Western Japan, including various healthcare settings. This study enrolled 1395 patients who participated in the 2022 follow\u2010up survey of the WJPR and were either using or had used biologics during the survey. These included 456 patients in the elderly group (\u226565\u2009years) and 939 patients in the younger group (&lt;65\u2009years). Treatment\u2010ending adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 15.8% and 11.3% of elderly and younger patients, respectively. The incidence rate per 1000 patient\u2010years (PY) for TEAEs was significantly higher in elderly patients than in younger patients (32.9 vs 23.2, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0234). Infectious diseases were more prevalent in the elderly group than the younger group; however, no significant difference in the frequency of infectious diseases was found between the two groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0807). Malignant neoplasms occurred significantly more frequently in the elderly group than in the younger group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0169). Our results indicate a few concerns about infection when prescribing biologics to elderly patients. Biologics were effective for both elderly and younger patients. We found no significant differences in the proportion of patients with a body surface area score \u22643%, Physician's Global Assessment score 0\/1, or Patient's Global Assessment score 0\/1, as well as in the mean Dermatology Life Quality Index and the Itch Numerical Rating Scale between the younger and the elderly groups. Overall, our results confirm the appropriateness of using biologics in elderly patients with regard to safety and efficacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1346-8138.17385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,19]],"date-time":"2024-07-19T11:33:49Z","timestamp":1721388829000},"page":"1634-1640","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Real\u2010world
