National Registry of Patients With Psoriatic Disease Receiving Interleukin-23 Inhibitor Therapy Within the Costa Rican Social Security System

🟡 Not Yet Recruiting Interventional Protocol 📊 Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this observational registry study is to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of IL-23 inhibitors in patients with psoriatic disease (psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis) treated in Costa Rica. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do IL-23 inhibitors (guselkumab or risankizumab) improve disease severity and quality of life in patients with psoriatic disease in routine clinical practice? * What is the safety profile and treatment persistence of IL-23 inhibitors in this population? * Patients receiving IL-23 inhibitors as part of their usual medical care will be followed longitudinally using standardized clinical measures (e.g., PASI, DLQI, DAPSA/BASDAI) and adverse-event reporting through a national registry.
