The content of the guideline includes general information on the scope and purpose, health questions covered, target users and strength/limitations of the guideline, suggestions for disease severity grading and treatment goals. It presents the general treatment recommendations as well as detailed management and monitoring recommendations for the individual drugs including acitretin, cyclosporine, fumarates, methotrexate, adalimumab, apremilast, brodalumab, certolizumab pegol, etanercept, guselkumab, infliximab, ixekizumab, risankizumab, secukinumab, tildrakizumab and ustekinumab. Moreover, the guideline provides guidance for specific clinical situations such as patient with concomitant psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, a history of malignancies, a history of depression, diabetes, viral hepatitis, disease affecting the heart or the kidneys as well as concomitant neurological disease.
