Our analyses of drug survival and treatment patterns, combined with those of previous studies conducted in older children, indicate that there is a trend towards higher 2-year survival rates of ustekinumab and adalimumab. The SAEs identified were rare, but highlight the need for increased vigilance concerning infections. Overall, the biological therapies showed good effectiveness and safety profiles when used in daily practice for the treatment of young children with psoriasis.
