Characteristics and prognosis of first-time hospitalized patients with generalized pustular psoriasis: insights from national databases

In a Danish nationwide population-based study, we found that the mortality rate for patients with first-time hospitalization for generalized pustular psoriasis was zero during hospitalization but increased to 7% within the first 12 months following discharge. The study period spanned 2008–2017; in this period, the most frequently prescribed pharmacotherapy during hospitalization was acitretin, followed by methotrexate.
