This association is independent of other factors, such as age or sex, and is maintained when including the use of biological drugs by the patient in the model.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The relationship found between controlling psoriatic disease and other factors such as the use of biological drugs or socio-economic level are factors already evaluated previously<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7,8</span></a>. However, few studies have evaluated the impact of drug access-related restrictions on the control of psoriasis, focusing on comparisons across different countries<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a>. The differences between ACs reported in this study are more relevant as they are differences within the same country where equitable health care for all patients is presumed.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It seems logical to think that the absence of specific restrictions could favor the prescription of drugs based on clinical needs, without being conditioned by financial or organizational factors. The fact that the relationship between restrictions and MDA is maintained when including the binary variable “biologicals” in the model raises the possibility that the ease of access to new drugs does not fully explain the better disease control in areas with fewer restrictions. Therefore, persistent differences could be due to reasons other than treatment with new drugs (which are also associated with the number of restrictions), or to the possibility of selecting specific new drugs that are more effective based on national or international recommendations<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a>.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">An alternative explanation is that access to a dermatologist may be easier in ACs with fewer restrictions, finding a higher proportion of patients with milder psoriasis who would more likely meet MDA criteria.</p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The strength of this study is that it is based on data from independent studies conducted before generating the hypothesis, which makes it unlikely that MDA measurements could be biased by the description of local restrictions. As for the limitations, the main one is that it is an ecological study, meaning that data on limitations are collected at AC level and the patients in whom MDA was measured may not be the same as those who experienced limitations in drug use. It is also possible that restrictions allow the total number of prescriptions in the AC to be higher and, although the benefit for each patient is smaller, the overall benefit for the population is higher. On the other hand, the use of consecutive sampling may not be equally representative of the population of psoriatic patients in all ACs. Additionally, evaluating restrictions from a regional perspective probably does not accurately reflect the specific restrictions existing at each hospital level.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, the observed findings suggest that there is a relationship between a lower level of restrictions on access to biological drugs and a higher probability of adequate control of psoriatic disease. It would be desirable to homogenize the prescription criteria among the different Spanish ACs to promote greater equity in the treatment of psoriasis nationwide</p></span><span id="sec0045" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0070">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Manuel Sánchez Díaz has received funding for attending conferences from Sanofi, Lilly, Novartis, and Almirall.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Ángeles Flórez has received fees and/or support for educational activities and/or acted as a speaker and/or consultant and/or conducted clinical trials and/or research projects for Abbvie, ACELYRIN Inc, Alcedis GmbH, Almirall, Amgen, BMS, Celgene, Galderma, Incyte Corporation, Janssen-Cilag, Kyowa Kirin, Leo Pharma, Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche Farma, Sanofi-Aventis, Sun Pharma, Takeda, and UCB Biosciences GmbH.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Mercè Grau-Pérez has received funding for attending courses or conferences from Abbvie, Almirall, Janssen, Lilly, and Novartis.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Ignacio García-Doval has received funding for attending conferences from Abbvie, MSD, Pfizer, and Sanofi.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">José-Manuel Carrascosa has received fees and/or support for educational activities and/or acted as a speaker and/or consultant and/or conducted clinical trials and/or research projects for Abbvie, Almirall, Amgen, BMS, Celgene, Galderma, Janssen-Cilag, Leo Pharma, Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, UCB, Sandoz, and Boehringer Ingelheim.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:12 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres2271948" "titulo" => "Graphical abstract" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" ] ] ] 1 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres2271950" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" ] ] ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1893690" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 3 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres2271949" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0015" ] ] ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1893691" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 6 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Materials and methods" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Data source" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Drugs evaluated in the study" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Variables of interest" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Statistical analysis" ] ] ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Results" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0040" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 9 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0045" "titulo" => "Conflicts of interest" ] 10 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xack781937" "titulo" => "Acknowledgments" ] 11 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2023-10-09" "fechaAceptado" => "2024-02-06" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1893690" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Psoriasis" 1 => "Equity" 2 => "Biological drugs" 3 => "Spain" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1893691" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Psoriasis" 1 => "Equidad" 2 => "Fármacos biológicos" 3 => "España" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><p id="spar0010" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Spanish Autonomous Communities (ACs) are entitled to decide on the prescription requirements of their own territories, which can create inequalities in access to new drugs in the management of psoriasis.
