RESUMEN
Antecedentes y objetivos La psoriasis afecta a un gran porcentaje de mujeres en edad fértil. Nuestro objetivo fue conocer las inquietudes de las mujeres con psoriasis en relación con la planificación familiar. Material y métodos Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal y multicéntrico realizado entre marzo del 2020 y octubre del 2021. Se recabaron datos sociodemográficos e inquietudes relacionadas con la planificación familiar de mujeres entre 18-45 años con psoriasis en placas y candidatas a recibir tratamiento sistémico. Resultados Se reclutaron 153 pacientes de 11 centros españoles (edad media: 35,4 ± 8 años, duración media de la enfermedad: 16,7 años); 38,4% de los casos tenían una enfermedad moderada/grave para los médicos, aunque la percepción de la actividad era significativamente superior para las pacientes. En una de cada tres mujeres, la enfermedad limitaba o retrasaba el deseo gestacional. Existía preocupación de que la enfermedad empeorara al tener que retirar o cambiar un fármaco o que los tratamientos perjudicaran al bebé. Alrededor de la mitad de las pacientes no había recibido información sobre planificación familiar en la consulta, especialmente aquellas mujeres sin embarazos previos. Las mujeres con tratamiento biológico (58,7%) tenían mejor situación clínica, mejor calidad de vida y menos alteraciones en la esfera sexual que las pacientes sin tratamiento biológico. Conclusiones Las pacientes con psoriasis tienen numerosas preocupaciones relacionadas con la planificación familiar. En algunos casos, estos miedos podrían llevar a retrasar y/o limitar el deseo gestacional. Sería necesario incrementar la información que se da a las pacientes y mejorar la formación de los dermatólogos en este tema (AU)
ABSTRACT
Background and objective A significant proportion of women of childbearing age have psoriasis. The aim of this study was to examine family planning concerns in this population. Material and methods Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study conducted between March 2020 and October 2021. We collected sociodemographic data and analyzed responses to a family planning questionnaire administered to women aged 18 to 45 years with plaque psoriasis who were candidates for systemic treatment. Results We studied 153 patients (mean [SD] age, 35.4 [8.0] years; mean disease duration, 16.7 years) being treated at 11 Spanish hospitals. Overall, 38.4% of women were considered to have moderate to severe psoriasis by their physicians; perceived severity ratings were significantly higher among women. Psoriasis affected the women's desire to become pregnant or led to their delaying pregnancy in 1 in 3 respondents. They were concerned that their condition might worsen if they had to discontinue or switch treatment or that the treatment might harm the baby. Approximately half of the women had not received family planning counseling from their physicians, and this was more likely to be the case among never-pregnant women. Women on biologic therapy (58.7%) had better psoriasis control and a better quality of life than women on other treatments. Their sexual health was also less affected. Conclusions Women with psoriasis have numerous family planning concerns, which in some cases can lead them to delay pregnancy or affect their desire to become pregnant. Dermatologists need to receive better training regarding family planning in women with psoriasis so that they can provide their patients with more and better information (AU)
