Abstract

The clinical characteristics of seborrheic dermatitis (SD), therapeutic strategies employed in current clinical practice and impact on the quality of life in the Spanish population are described. An epidemiological, multicenter, transversal study in patients older than 16 years with seborrheic dermatitis. We evaluated the intensity of symptoms (scale 0-4), and impact on the quality of life by the Skindex-29 questionnaire (scale 0-100). Two thousand one hundred and fifty nine patients participated, the mean age was 43.6 years, 55% were men and 42% had a family history of seborrheic dermatitis. Diagnosis is usually carried out at a mean age of 33.7 years. The median number of outbreaks in the last year is three. The median duration of each outbreak is 14 days. The most involved areas are the face (88%) and scalp (70%). The mean intensities are as follows: scaling 1.9, erythema 1.89, pruritus 1.73, oily skin 1.52, and induration 0.87. Ninety-eight percent of patients report a trigger factor for outbreaks, namely stress/depression/fatigue (76%) and seasonal variation (44%). Acne is the most common concomitant disease (35%). The most common treatments are topical steroids (60%), imidazole antifungals (35%) and hydratating/nutritive products (31%). The mean Skindex-29 global score is 20.5. The most common clinical profile of seborrheic dermatitis is a 40-year-old patient with facial/scalp involvement of mild to moderate intensity with a history of stress/depression/fatigue prior to the outbreak. The most common treatments in the daily clinical practice are topical steroids and imidazole antifungals. The impact of seborrheic dermatitis in the quality of life is low. Se describen las características clínicas de la dermatitis seborreica (DS), las estrategias terapéuticas empleadas en la práctica clínica habitual y el impacto en la calidad de vida de la población afectada en España. Estudio epidemiológico, multicéntrico, transversal en pacientes mayores de 16 años con DS. Se evaluaron la intensidad de los síntomas (escala 0-4) y el impacto en la calidad de vida mediante el cuestionario Skindex-29 (escala 0-100). Participaron 2.159 pacientes, con una edad media de 43,6 años, el 55% hombres y el 42% con antecedentes familiares de DS. El diagnóstico se realizó como media a los 33,7 años. La mediana de brotes en el último año es de 3. La duración mediana de cada brote es de 14 días. Las zonas más afectadas son la facial (88%) y el cuero cabelludo (70%). Las medias de las intensidades son: descamación 1,9, eritema 1,89, prurito 1,73, piel grasa 1,52, infiltración 0,87. El 98% de los pacientes refiere un factor desencadenante de los brotes, estrés/depresión/fatiga (76%) y estacionalidad (44%). La patología concomitante más común es el acné (35%). Los tratamientos más frecuentes son corticoides tópicos (60%), antimicóticos imidazólicos (35%) e hidratantes/nutritivos (31%). La puntuación global media del Skindex-29 es de 20,5. El perfil clínico mayoritario de la DS es un paciente de 40 años, con afectación facial/cuero cabelludo, intensidad leve-moderada, padeciendo un episodio de estrés/depresión/fatiga previo al brote. Los tratamientos más frecuentes, en la práctica clínica habitual, son corticoides tópicos y antimicóticos imidazólicos. El impacto de la DS sobre la calidad de vida es bajo.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
