Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with important socioeconomic consequences. Data on psoriasis prevalence in Greece is scarce and circumstantially reported. The aim of this study was the recording of psoriatic patients' demographic data, clinical characteristics of the disease, and exacerbating factors. Seven hundred and eighty four patients were enrolled in 6 centres (4 in Athens and 2 in Thessaloniki) in a multicenter epidemiologic prospective study. The mean age of patients was 43.2 (standard deviation, SD 17.44) years (median 42 years), while the men: women ratio was 1.8:1. Additionally, 35% of patients reported a positive family history of psoriasis. The mean age of patients at the first episode of psoriasis was 31.3 (SD 16.39) years (median 28 years). Psoriasis vulgaris was the most common form of psoriasis in the population participating in this study. Flares of psoriasis occurred 2.6 times per year on average. The patients considered stress as the main cause for psoriasis exacerbation. Most frequent target points of psoriasis included elbows, legs, scalp and knees. The most common symptoms reported were scaling, and itching. On average, patients visited dermatologists 2.4 times per year for issues related to psoriasis. This study provides epidemiological information regarding psoriasis in Greece. Results of this survey could assist in delineation of patient profiles, and improve communication between doctors and patients.

摘要

银屑病是一种慢性炎症性皮肤病,具有重要的社会经济学后果。希腊银屑病患病率的数据很少,且情况报告也不完全。本研究的目的是记录银屑病患者的人口统计学数据、疾病的临床特征和加重因素。784 名患者在 6 个中心(雅典 4 个,塞萨洛尼基 2 个)参加了一项多中心前瞻性流行病学研究。患者的平均年龄为 43.2(标准差 17.44)岁(中位数为 42 岁),男女比例为 1.8:1。此外,35%的患者报告有银屑病阳性家族史。银屑病首次发作的平均年龄为 31.3(标准差 16.39)岁(中位数为 28 岁)。在参与本研究的人群中,寻常型银屑病是最常见的银屑病类型。银屑病的平均发作频率为每年 2.6 次。患者认为压力是银屑病加重的主要原因。银屑病最常见的发病部位包括肘部、腿部、头皮和膝盖。最常见的报告症状是鳞屑和瘙痒。患者平均每年因银屑病相关问题就诊皮肤科 2.4 次。本研究提供了有关希腊银屑病的流行病学信息。该调查的结果可以帮助描绘患者的特征,并改善医生和患者之间的沟通。
