The retrospective evaluation of clinical and demographic features of children with psoriasis
Öz
Background: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory dermatosis and constitutes 4% of the pediatric dermatosises. In our study, evaluation of the clinical and demographic characteristics of children with psoriasis has been aimed.
Methods: 70 children with psoriasis were included to the study. Parameters such as age, gender, disease, age of onset, joint or nail involvement, clinical type, distribution of lesions, severity of the disease, family history, accompanying disease, received/receiving treatments, smoking habits and body mass index were recorded. The data were statistically analyzed.
Results: 36 of the patients were girls (51.4%) and girl/boy ratio was: 1.058/1. Average age of onset was 8.01±4.56. The most frequent age of onset was 0-5 (%34.28). 31.40% of the patients had family history, 8.57% of them had accompanying disease, 10% of them had joint involvement, 18.57% of them had nail involvement and 8.57% of them were smoking. The most frequent clinical type was plaque type (68.57%), the most frequent parts that the disease was observed were hairy skin/face areas (74.28%), and the most frequently used systemic agent was methotrexate (18.57%).
Conclusion: Our results were mostly compatible with previous study results. In literature, the amounts of studies that evaluate the clinic and sociodemographic characteristics of the children with psoriasis are few and data are quite variational.
