Characteristics of Patients with Generalized Pustular Psoriasis: A Report of the Polish Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Group.
Introduction: Data on generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) in Poland are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics of Polish patients with GPP. In addition, the effect of the frequency of disease flares and the concomitant presence of psoriasis vulgaris (PV) on patient characteristics was evaluated.
Methods: In this retrospective study, medical records of patients hospitalized for GPP in dermatology departments of the Polish Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Group were analyzed.
Results: A total of 90 patients from 14 dermatology centers were included. The median age of patients was 59 (range, 5-85) years, and most patients were female (68.9%). The most common comorbidity was hypertension (43.3%), followed by cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. The median duration of GPP was 3 years, and the median number of flares was 2. Hospitalization was required in 67% of flares. The main triggering factors were drugs (20.5%) and infections (19.3%). Women and men with GPP differed in terms of age (p < 0.01), distribution of comorbidities, and selected triggering factors (stress: p < 0.05). Almost 25% of patients experienced more than one flare per year. Patients with different frequency of flares did not differ significantly in age, sex distribution, or comorbidities, but those with a higher frequency of flares had a shorter disease duration (median: 0.6 vs. 4.0 years; p < 0.01). In 59.1% of patients, GPP was accompanied by PV. Patients with GPP and PV were younger than those with GPP alone (median: 48.0 vs. 66.0 years; p < 0.01).
Conclusions: In this study, the general demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with GPP were consistent with those described in other studies. However, a high rate of flares requiring hospitalization and a significant percentage of patients experiencing more than one flare per year indicate the unmet need in the management of patients with GPP.
期刊介绍：
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
