Method

This single-center retrospective comparative study recruited 127 people having scalp psoriasis and  baseline scalp Physician Global Assessment ≥3. Overall,  65 people were treated with anti-IL23 agents (risankizumab, tildrakizumab, guselkumab) while 62 people were treated with anti-IL17 agents (brodalumab, ixekizumab, secukinumab). For assessing the percentage of response, statistical analysis through the χ2 test was carried out.
