Physicians experience high stress and have much responsibility during a night shift, which contributes to increased sympathetic activity, the risk factor for renal disease. The risk for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in physicians is still unclear. Therefore, we conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study to clarify this issue. Using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified 30,268 physicians and 60,536 individuals from the general population matched with a ratio of 1:2 by age and sex. All participants who had ESRD before 2006 and residents were excluded. ESRD risk between physicians and the general population and among physician subgroups was compared by following up their medical histories until 2012. We also compared the treatments between both cohorts with ESRD. Physicians had a lower ESRD risk than the general population (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 0.5; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.4–0.7), particularly in the middle-age subgroup (35–64 years) (AOR: 0.4; 95% CI: 0.3–0.7); however, there was no difference in the older age subgroup (≥65 years) (AOR: 1.0; 95% CI: 0.6–1.7). More physicians received peritoneal dialysis (63.0% vs. 11.1%) and renal transplantation (5.6% vs. 1.7%) than the general population after being diagnosed with ESRD. Compared with the general population, physicians had a lower ESRD risk and higher treatment selection for peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation after being diagnosed with ESRD. Better medical knowledge, a greater awareness of diseases and their risk factors, more rigorous implementation of preventive measures, and easy access to medical care may play a role in this aspect. Further studies are warranted for elucidating the associated mechanisms.

Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder mediated by the T-cell–related immune response. Psoriatic patients may have a variety of comorbidities, but their risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), particularly according to the subtype of psoriasis, is unclear. We investigated the risk of ESRD in patients with psoriasis according to the subtype of psoriasis and history of systemic therapy for psoriasis. A total of 2,121,228 adults (1,590,921 in the control group and 530,307 in the psoriasis group) were enrolled in this nationwide population-based cohort study until 2015. During follow-up, 1,434 of the subjects in the psoriasis group developed ESRD. After adjusting for confounding factors, psoriasis was associated with the risk of ESRD (hazard ratio (HR) 1.58, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.47–1.68). The psoriatic arthritis group (HR 7.60, 95% CI 1.90–30.41) had a higher risk of ESRD than the control group. Interestingly, no such association was detected in the systemically treated group (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.80–1.41). Moreover, the acitretin-treated group had a lower risk of ESRD (HR 0.658, 95% CI, 0.494–0.875) than the non-systemically treated group. In conclusion, the risk of developing ESRD in patients with psoriasis differed according to the type of treatment and the presence of arthritis.
