RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The International Dermatology Outcome Measures (IDEOM) initiative is a non-profit organization that aims to develop evidence-based outcome measurements to evaluate the impact of treatments for patients with dermatological disease. IDEOM includes all key stakeholders in dermatology (patient, physician, industry, insurer, and government) during the process of developing such outcome measurements. SUMMARY: Here, we provide an update of IDEOM activities that were presented at the 2020 IDEOM Virtual Annual Meeting (October 23-24, 2020). During the meeting, multiple IDEOM workgroups (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, pyoderma gangrenosum, and actinic keratosis) shared their progress to date, as well as future directions in developing and validating Patient-Reported Outcome Measures. Updates on demonstrating efficacy in clinicals trials by the US Food and Drug Administration are also summarized. KEY MESSAGES: In this report, we summarize the work presented by each IDEOM workgroup (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, pyoderma gangrenosum, and actinic keratosis) at the 2020 IDEOM Virtual Annual Meeting.

Topical opioid formulations offer a potential solution to manage pain and decrease the use of systemic opioids. Synthesis of use and efficacy of topical opioids in dermatological conditions has not been well characterized. We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases from 1980 to February 2021. This study analyzed data from 14 articles and 263 patients on the use of topical opioids for pain related to chronic ulcers, burns, oral lichen planus, photodynamic therapy, and split-thickness skin grafts. Topical opioids included in this review were topical morphine and diamorphine. Common formulations consisted of 0.2-10 mg of opioid compounded with hydrogel or IntraSite gel. Topical opioids were variably effective in the use for pain control related to chronic ulcers and other dermatologic conditions. For example, the use of topical opioids appears to be effective in the reduction of pain related to pressure ulcers. Topical opioids were generally well tolerated. Insufficient data exist to adequately evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical opioid use in the context of nonpressure ulcers, burns, oral lichen planus, photodynamic therapy, and split-thickness skin grafts.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Acne is a common skin condition that may be treated by both dermatologists and pediatricians. However, the treatments provided by dermatologists and pediatricians may differ. We aimed to describe acne therapy prescribing patterns of dermatologists and pediatricians. METHODS: We performed a population-based, cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey from 2006 to 2016 for pediatric patients (age ≤ 18 years). RESULTS: There were approximately 30.5 million (weighted) outpatient acne visits between 2006 and 2016 for pediatric patients; 52% of visits were conducted by dermatologists, 29% by pediatricians, and 19% by other providers. Compared to pediatricians, dermatologists saw older patients (mean age 15.5 ± 0.12 vs 13.5 ± 0.35; P < .001), as well as a higher proportion of white patients (92.5% vs 76.3%; P < .001), non-Hispanic patients (89.5% vs 81.6%; P < .001), and patients with private insurance (84.6% vs 67.8%; P < .001). Compared to patients seen by dermatologists, patients seen by pediatricians were 68% less likely to receive topical retinoids (aOR 0.32, 95% CI 0.22-0.46), 38% less likely to receive topical antibiotics (aOR 0.62, 95% CI 0.41-0.95), and 48% less likely to receive oral antibiotics (adjusted aOR 0.52, 95% CI 0.36-0.75). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate that pediatricians prescribe topical retinoids, topical antibiotics, and oral antibiotics less frequently compared to dermatologists. It is important to understand these differences in prescribing patterns for acne and to identify potential educational gaps.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between psoriasis and mental health in patients from different racial backgrounds. METHODS: We performed a nationwide, cross-sectional study evaluating 7,519,662 (weighted) patients, comparing White patients versus patients with skin of color (SOC), using the 2004-2017 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). RESULTS: Psychological distress (measured by Kessler 6-Item Psychological Distress Scale) was similar between White and SOC patients (4.132 [95% CI,3.679-4.586] and 3.710 [95% CI,2.932-4.488], P=0.407). Depression (measured by Patient Health Questionnaire 2) was similar between White and SOC patients (0.886 [95% CI,0.744-1.027] and 0.748 [95% CI,0.506-0.989], P=0.385). Overall mental health (measured by Mental Component Summary) was similar between White and SOC patients (49.959 [95% CI,48.979-50.939] and 50.257 [95% CI,48.449-52.065], P=0.789). Perceived mental health state (measured by Perceived Mental Health Status) was similar between White and SOC patients (2.159 [95% CI,2.065-2.253] and 2.103 [95% CI,1.911-2.294], P=0.603). CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in mental health outcome scores between White and SOC patients with psoriasis. Clinicians should screen for and manage mental health comorbidities in psoriasis patients of all racial backgrounds.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between erythema multiforme (EM) and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) remains unclear. There have been multiple reports of EM-like lesions occurring in conjunction with or presenting after ACD; however, various definitions and terminologies have been used to denote the patient's diagnosis in these cases. In this systematic review, we summarize the key presenting features of recent cases of EM-like eruptions associated with ACD, as well as diagnostic findings, responsible allergens, treatments, and outcomes. We propose that, whenever possible, these cases should be classified into 2 distinct categories: (1) EM-like ACD and (2) EM after ACD (ACD-induced EM). Because the clinical courses, potential complications, and treatment plans differ between the two, a critical need exists for further characterization and distinguishment of EM-like ACD and ACD-induced EM.

BACKGROUND: Although dermatologists treat many painful skin conditions and perform procedures that may require analgesic use, there is a lack of evidence synthesis on opioid use in dermatology. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review of the evidence on the use of opioid analgesics in dermatology. METHODS: We applied the PRISMA guidelines and systematically reviewed literature that examined opioid use in dermatology published between 1980 and 2020 in the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. This review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020204864). RESULTS: We identified 24 studies that analyzed 52,705,201 patients and 13,099 dermatologists. Between 34% and 87.5% of patients received opioids following dermatologic procedures; however, many did not use the entirety of their prescriptions, and 35-69% did not use any of their prescription. Top opioid prescribers were more likely to be Mohs surgeons, male, and practice in the South. Variability exists in the current evidence for opioid prescribing for nonprocedural dermatologic disease. CONCLUSION: While opioid prescribing in dermatology is low compared with other specialties, patients are not utilizing the entirety of their prescriptions. Opioid prescribing for nonprocedural dermatologic disease varies; treatments focused on targeting the pathogenesis of these diseases is important to minimize opioid use. Dermatologists should consider limiting opioid prescribing and utilizing nonnarcotic analgesics.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there has been considerable discussion regarding the use of biologics in patients with inflammatory skin conditions, such as psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and atopic dermatitis. This article discusses clinical trial data, real-world evidence, and guidelines and recommendations for biologics that inhibit tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-12/23, IL-17, IL-23, and IL-4/13 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Across these inflammatory skin conditions, existing data generally suggest that biologics do not seem to increase the risk of COVID-19 infection or worsen COVID-19 outcomes. The impact of biologics on COVID-19 is an area of active exploration.

IMPORTANCE: There is a lack of evidence synthesis on the association between bullous skin disease and depression. OBJECTIVE: To synthesize and interpret the current evidence on the association between bullous skin disease and depression. EVIDENCE REVIEW: This review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines and reviewed literature related to bullous skin disease and depression in the PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo, and Cochrane databases published between 1945 and February 2021. The quality of each included article was assessed via the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. This review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021230750). FINDINGS: A total of 17 articles were identified that analyzed a total of 83â¯910 patients (55.2% female; specifically, 6951 patients with bullous pemphigoid, 1669 patients with pemphigus, and 79 patients with epidermolysis bullosa were analyzed). The prevalence of depressive symptoms among patients with bullous dermatoses ranged from 40% to 80%. The prevalence of depression diagnosis among patients with bullous dermatoses ranged from 11.4% to 28%. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this systematic review, high rates of depression and depressive symptoms existed among patients with bullous skin disease. Adequate treatment of bullous dermatoses may be associated with a decrease in mental health burden on patients.
