    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Psoriasis usually accompanies comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. It has been proposed that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists used in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes may also improve psoriasis. However, the number of patients in every single study is relatively small. OBJECTIVES: We carried out a meta-analysis to evaluate whether GLP-1R is effective for the treatment of plaque psoriasis with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: A search of PubMed, Ovid Embase, the Cochrane Library for controlled trials was done from inception to June 20th, 2020. Published trials that included psoriasis patients with type 2 diabetes, the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) of treated by GLP-1R before and after. All statistical analyses were conducted using the Stata 15.0 (Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA). RESULTS: There were 4 trials involving 32 patients. Patients treated by GLP-1R after showed significantly lower PASI (SMD: -4.332, 95% CI: -7.611 to -1.053, p = .01), lower fasting plasma glucose than treated before (SMD: -0.341, 95% CI: -0.679 to -0.004, p = .048). There was no significant difference in Body Mass Index (BMI), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) between treated by GLP-1R after and before. CONCLUSIONS: GLP-1rA, liraglutide, therapy can reduce psoriasis who had concomitant type 2 diabetes severity, but may independently of changes in weight and glycaemic control.
