Objective To construct a predictive model for Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) based on clinical and ultrasonic characteristics in patients with plaque psoriasis (PsP).Patients and methods Demographic, clinical, and ultrasound data were collected from patients with PsP and PsA between May 2019 and December 2022.Results A total of 212 patients with PsP and 123 with PsA in the training cohort, whereas the validation cohort comprised 91 patients with PsP and 49 with PsA. The multivariate logistic regressi

Background The pathogenesis of nummular eczema (NE) remains unclear, and no targeted therapy has been approved. Apremilast is a small molecule inhibitor targeting phosphodiesterase-4.Patients and methods A phase IIb randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the effects of apremilast or placebo in patients with NE. Patients received apremilast (30 mg BID) or placebo until week 16 followed by an open label phase in which all patients were treated with apremilast until week 32.

Background and objective Erosions of the skin and mucous membranes with epidermal dysmaturation are a known side effect of cytostatic chemotherapy regimens and can also be observed during low-dose methotrexate (MTX) therapy. The study aimed to delineate the clinical and histopathological alterations.Patients and methods A database search of the archive for dermatopathology was conducted, identifying 22 patients who developed epidermal dysmaturation on low-dose MTX. Clinical and laboratory change

Vaccination is a fundamental principle of preventive health care. Administration of the vaccine, which contains the antigen(s) of a pathogen, activates the immune system and provides protection against infection. The immunogenicity and allergenicity of a vaccine may lead to various adverse reactions, depending on the responsiveness and susceptibility of the vaccinated individual. Cutaneous adverse events are among the most common and can manifest as various local or generalized vaccination react

Background and objectives Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, chronic, potentially life-threatening skin disease. We aimed to establish criteria to accurately approximate GPP prevalence in Germany.Methods A retrospective analysis of the WIG2 health claims database (1/1/2016-31/12/2020) was conducted. Patients aged ≥ 12 years continuously enrolled in their statutory health insurance with one inpatient or confirmed outpatient diagnosis code for GPP (International Classification of Dise

Background and objectives Knowledge on patient care gaps of prurigo nodularis (PN) is limited. This retrospective chart review (ADVANCE PN) investigated unmet medical needs and gaps in diagnostics, treatment, and management of patients with PN in routine care in Germany.Patients and methods Medical records for adults newly diagnosed with PN between January 2012 and December 2022 from dermatologic clinics and office-based dermatologists were analyzed. Baseline demographics, treatment patterns, di

Background and objectives Mucosal lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disease. The patient's journey can be arduous as diagnosis and therapy are challenging.Patients and methods In this cross-sectional study, a wide range of characteristics of the patient's journey were assessed and evaluated from a total of 72 patients with mucosal LP who were treated in the dermatology departments of six German university medical centers between 02/2022 and 07/2023.Results On average, 18.1 months elap

Background and objectives De-escalation strategies of biologics in psoriasis treatment are widespread in clinical practice. Dose spacing consists of de-escalating the time range between biological drug injections.Patients and methods Major objectives were: to describe trends in mean PASI, PASI 100, 90, and ≤ 1 from baseline to 12 months after dose spacing, provide drug survival analysis of dose-spaced regimens, and concurrently describe phenotypic characteristics related to the selection of pati

Background and objectives Psoriasis vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, associated with multiple cardiovascular comorbidities, which can ultimately lead to increased mortality. Dermatological rehabilitation programs represent an additional therapeutic option in patients with psoriasis besides the classical outpatient or inpatient management. This study aimed to investigate the impact of dermatological rehabilitation on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiorespiratory fitness an

Background and objectives Patients with cutaneous lymphomas (CL) are at an increased risk of developing secondary malignancies. This study aimed to assess the frequency of association between CL and Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and to identify factors that may promote the co-occurrence of these two diseases.Patients and methods On January 25, 2024, we conducted a systematic search of four electronic medical databases to identify all published cases of KS associated with CL. The clinical course and outcom
