Materials and methods This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study including patients with chronic plaque psoriasis (n=6,501) being treated with biologic therapy and regularly followed up at the Divisions of Dermatology of several main hospitals in the Northern Italian cities of Verona, Padua, Vicenza, Modena, Bologna, Piacenza, Turin, and Milan. Incidence rates (IR) of hospitalization and death per 10,000 person-months with exact mid-p 95% confidence intervals (CI) and standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were estimated in the psoriasis patients and compared with the general population in the same geographic areas. We would not advise biologic discontinuation in patients on treatment since more than 6 months and not infected with SARS-CoV-2 to prevent hospitalization and death from COVID-19. In this study, we evaluated the incidence of hospitalization and death for COVID-19 in a large sample of patients with plaque psoriasis receiving biologic therapies compared with the general population.	./cache/cord-323695-jkik03lb.txt	./txt/cord-323695-jkik03lb.txt
