Background Dermatologists and pediatricians commonly encounter pediatric dermatology cases in their clinical practice, and the number has risen for the past decade. While numerous studies have addressed adult inpatient dermatology cases, there is a lack of data on the same for the pediatric population. Aim The study aimed to investigate the spectrum and outcomes of inpatient pediatric dermatology cases at a tertiary health care center. Methods This was a hospital-based, cross-sectional study that included children under the age of 16 years with primary skin disorders who were admitted to the pediatric dermatology unit. Patients were categorized into six groups based on their provisional diagnosis for better analysis. Results A total of 105 children were admitted, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.2:1. The average age of admitted children was 5.8 years, with the majority belonging to the school-going age group, accounting for 44% of the patients. Conclusion Inflammatory skin conditions like childhood psoriasis and erythroderma were the most common group of disorders presented to us, followed by hereditary conditions like keratinization disorders and mechanobullous disorders. Pediatric dermatology emergencies (PDEs) require an inter-professional approach for timely intervention and management.
背景
皮肤科医生和儿科医生在临床实践中经常遇到儿科皮肤病病例，且在过去十年中这一数量有所增加。虽然众多研究涉及成人住院皮肤科病例，但针对儿科人群的此类数据却很缺乏。
目的
本研究旨在调查一家三级医疗保健中心住院儿科皮肤病病例的范围和结局。
方法
这是一项基于医院的横断面研究，纳入了入住儿科皮肤科病房的16岁以下患有原发性皮肤疾病的儿童。为了更好地分析，根据患者的初步诊断将其分为六组。
结果
共收治105名儿童，男女比例为1.2:1。入院儿童的平均年龄为5.8岁，大多数属于学龄年龄组，占患者的44%。
结论
儿童银屑病和红皮病等炎症性皮肤病是我们接诊的最常见疾病组，其次是角化障碍和机械性大疱性疾病等遗传性疾病。儿科皮肤科急诊（PDEs）需要跨专业方法进行及时干预和管理。
