(A) Patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and patients with psoriasis (PsO); (B) treatment line before apremilast initiation (the most recent treatment before apremilast initiation); (C) age group. y-axis: probability of continuing apremilast treatment; x-axis: time from apremilast initiation to discontinuation (months).
