Skin diseases are a category of chronic conditions that often impact patients' appearance, potentially leading to psychological issues, including sexual dysfunction. The present study is an attempt to determine the global prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in women with skin diseases.
For this systematic review and meta-analysis, databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, Embase, and Google Scholar were systematically searched for relevant studies. All published research up to April 2024 imported into EndNote for further analysis. A random-effects model was applied for the analysis, and the I² statistic was used to assess study heterogeneity.
Analysis of 24 studies (45 datasets) indicated that the overall prevalence of FSD in women with skin diseases was estimated at 61.3% (95% CI: 53.9-68.2%). Additionally, subgroup analysis based on skin disease type revealed an FSD prevalence of 69.8% (95% CI: 56.7-80.2%) in women with vitiligo, 59.2% (95% CI: 49.1-68.5%) in those with psoriasis, and 56.5% (95% CI: 47.8-64.8%) in women with hidradenitis suppurativa.
There was a high prevalence of FSD in women with skin diseases. There is a need for policy makers and healthcare providers to prioritize the well-being of these patients.
皮肤病是一类慢性病，常影响患者外貌，可能导致心理问题，包括性功能障碍。本研究旨在确定皮肤病女性中女性性功能障碍（FSD）的全球患病率。
对于本系统评价和荟萃分析，系统检索了包括PubMed、科学网、Scopus、Science Direct、Embase和谷歌学术在内的数据库以查找相关研究。截至2024年4月的所有已发表研究都导入EndNote进行进一步分析。采用随机效应模型进行分析，并用I²统计量评估研究异质性。
对24项研究（45个数据集）的分析表明，皮肤病女性中FSD的总体患病率估计为61.3%（95%CI：53.9 - 68.2%）。此外，基于皮肤病类型的亚组分析显示，白癜风女性中FSD患病率为69.8%（95%CI：56.7 - 80.2%），银屑病女性中为59.2%（95%CI：49.1 - 68.5%），化脓性汗腺炎女性中为56.5%（95%CI：47.8 - 64.8%）。
皮肤病女性中FSD患病率较高。政策制定者和医疗服务提供者有必要优先关注这些患者的福祉。
