Background: Evidence comparing the impact of various biologics for psoriasis on the progression to psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is limited. We therefore assessed the risk of PsA associated with interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitor, IL-17 inhibitor, or IL-12/23 inhibitor use compared with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor use among patients with psoriasis.

Methods: This population-based cohort study used the nationwide claims database from South Korea (2007-2023).

Article Synopsis
  • A study in South Korea analyzed the link between COVID-19 vaccinations and facial palsy (FP) in over 44 million patients aged 18 and above who received vaccines from various brands.
  • Researchers compared the incidence of FP within 28 days following vaccination (risk window) to the incidence during the remainder of a 240-day observation period (control window).
  • They found an increased risk of FP within the first 28 days post-vaccination, especially after the first and second doses, and recommended that clinicians evaluate the risk of FP when considering vaccination and monitor for neurological symptoms afterward.

Background: Several neurological manifestations shortly after a receipt of coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine have been described in the recent case reports. Among those, we sought to evaluate the risk of encephalitis and meningitis after COVID-19 vaccination in the entire South Korean population.

Methods: We conducted self-controlled case series (SCCS) analysis using the COVID-19 immunization record data from the Korea Disease Control Agency between February 2021 and March 2022, linked with the National Health Insurance Database between January 2021 and October 2022.
