This meta-analysis found that patients with psoriasis who smoke or have a history of smoking, as well as those with previous exposure to biologics, older age, or higher BMI, exhibited poorer response to biologics in observational studies. However, it remains unclear whether these clinical characteristics influence treatment response differently for the different biologics available for psoriasis.
