Retrospective Analysis of Pediatric Dermatologic Hospital Admissions.

Statistical data on the frequency of skin conditions in the Pomeranian region of Poland are limited in the field of pediatric dermatology, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to each patient. Dermatitis and skin allergies are the 10 most common pediatric conditions, with a prevalence of 20% among such chronic illnesses in developed countries. This analysis is limited to the recurrence of dermatologic diseases in the hospitalized pediatric population within the Pomeranian region for the purpose of future targeted education. Retrospective analysis included 282 participants over a 3-year period between 2013 and 2015, with admissions to the Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Allergology at the Medical University of Gdansk. Diagnoses were obtained from the ward admission book and CliniNet database.
