The primary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of nail diseases and its population in nail consultation.
A retrospective study of clinical records between 2012 and 2022 was conducted. The 1,372 established diagnoses were categorized into nosological groups, which included physical signs, infectious diseases, dermatological diseases, systemic diseases, drug reactions, occupational disorders, congenital diseases, traumatic disorders, and tumors.
Overall, 1,239 records were enrolled, with 64% ( = 788) involving female patients. The median age was 50 years. In 71.5% of cases ( = 886), it was possible to establish an etiological diagnosis or a causative relationship based on physical findings, while 28% of patients ( = 347) presented nonspecific physical signs.
Onychomycosis was the most prevalent diagnosis and revealed a descending trend over the 10-year period study.
本研究的主要目的是确定指甲疾病的患病率及其在指甲门诊中的人群分布情况。
对2012年至2022年期间的临床记录进行回顾性研究。1372例确诊病例被分类到疾病分类组中，包括体征、传染病、皮肤病、全身性疾病、药物反应、职业性疾病、先天性疾病、创伤性疾病和肿瘤。
总体而言，共纳入1239份记录，其中64%（n = 788）涉及女性患者。年龄中位数为50岁。在71.5%的病例（n = 886）中，根据体格检查结果有可能做出病因诊断或确定因果关系，而28%的患者（n = 347）表现为非特异性体征。
甲癣是最常见的诊断，并且在为期10年的研究期间呈下降趋势。
