When managing pediatric psoriasis patients who have achieved stable remission on systemic therapies, how do you approach tapering or stopping therapy?

A recent article on Medscape linked below conducted a multicenter study with their results regarding stopping treatment in the pediatric psoriasis patients on systemic therapy and found that, among patients who discontinued treatment because of remission, 88.6% remained off systemic treatment for at least 6 months.
