Abstract

I read with great interest the recent letter by Datlı Yakaryilmaz and Turkmen entitled ‘Looking beyond chronological age: the importance of frailty in biologic treatment efficacy in older individuals’. Their emphasis on moving beyond chronological age and considering the phenomenon of frailty when evaluating the efficacy and safety of biologic treatments in older patients with psoriasis is highly valuable.
