| description | Background Although psoriasis burden and treatment have been well characterized in developed countries, there are scarce in-depth epidemiological studies in Latin American countries.
Objectives To describe the sociodemographic and clinical features and the economic burden of psoriasis among children and adult patients from Colombia.
Methods This cross-sectional study included patients from dermatology private practice offices, health provider institutions and hospitals in seven Colombian cities. We collected data on disease distribution, weight, height, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, disease severity, therapy, personal history of comorbidities, and direct costs. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the associations between severity scales and sociodemographic and clinical variables.
Results Two-hundred-three patients (43.8% women, 56.2% men) with an age range between 7 to 89 years old were included. The main subtype was psoriasis vulgaris and mean age of diagnosis was 37.1 years. The most common comorbidities were obesity, hypertension, psoriatic arthritis, dyslipidemia and diabetes. Women had a significant increased odds of presenting with psoriatic arthritis. Body-mass-index and hypertension were significantly associated with a higher psoriasis severity, whereas being female and non-obese was associated with a lower risk. A third of the patients had a family history of psoriasis and sleeping disorders. Forty-one percent of participants either had no income or had an income below 224 US dollars per month and >20% of their income was spent on their disease.
Conclusions This study is supported by robust scientific data and contributes to understanding the burden of psoriasis in Latin America. This study adds well-supported data through an in-depth clinical and economical characterization of Colombian children and adult patients with psoriasis and shows the high impact and burden of the disease on patients and their families. |
