Background: Psoriasis is a known risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the associations between psoriasis and short-term outcomes of AMI remain controversial. Objective: To compare the short-term outcomes of AMI patients with and without psoriasis accounting for patient background characteristics and site-specific effects. Methods: We identified patients with AMI between July 2010 and March 2020, using a Japanese national inpatient database. We matched patients with and without psoriasis to generate a 1:10 matched-pair cohort matched for sex, hospital, and fiscal year at admission. Multivariable regression analyses with adjustment for background characteristics including age and Killip class at admission were conducted to compare short-term outcomes of AMI. Results: In this study of AMI patients with psoriasis (n = 455) and without psoriasis (n = 438,534), 30-day in-hospital mortality was 5.6%. Patients with psoriasis had higher proportions of comorbidities than patients without psoriasis. Multivariable regression analyses in the matched-pair cohort revealed that psoriasis was significantly associated with decreased 30-day in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08-0.85). Limitations: Retrospective study design without data on psoriasis severity. Conclusion: The matched-pair cohort analyses with adjustment for patient background characteristics and site-specific effects revealed decreased in-hospital mortality in AMI patients with psoriasis.
