- Abstract
Background: Poor sleep quality occurs in patients with psoriasis at rates nearly twice that of the general population. Chronic sleep impairment is an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Here, we examine the association between sleep quantity and history of myocardial infarction in patients with psoriasis. Methods: This observational, cross-sectional study utilized data from the 2020 National Psoriasis Foundation Annual Survey. Effect estimates were obtained using a multivariate logistic regression model, which controlled for prespecified covariates. Results: Based on data from 1405 individuals with psoriasis, our analysis demonstrated a significant association between sleep quantity and history of myocardial infarction: odds ratio (OR) 0.67 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49–0.92], p = 0.012. The association was not significantly influenced by psoriasis severity (OR 1.01, [95% CI 0.99–1.03], p = 0.38), comorbid psoriatic arthritis (OR 1.06, [95% CI 0.48–2.38], p = 0.88), sleep apnea, or other traditional risk factors for myocardial infarction. Conclusion: Our analyses indicate an association between sleep quantity and history of myocardial infarction in patients with psoriasis. For each hour increase in average nightly sleep, patients with psoriasis have a 33% decrease in the odds of having a history of myocardial infarction. The chief limitation of this study is its cross-sectional design limiting ascertainment of causality.
