RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Vitiligo was historically regarded as a cosmetic disorder; however, it is an autoimmune disease. As a visible condition, it affects patient well-being. We assessed the impact of disease severity, lesion location, and body surface area (BSA) affected on patient health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS: Retrospective data were from the Adelphi Real World Vitiligo Disease Specific Programme: a cross-sectional survey of physicians and their patients with vitiligo (10/2021-07/2022). Patient-reported outcomes were assessed by the Vitiligo-Specific Quality of Life Instrument (VitiQoL), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and EQ-5D-5L. The Work Productivity and Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI) questionnaire was used to assess disease-related impairment of daily activities. Data were stratified by physician-reported disease severity, presence/absence of vitiligo on the face, and BSA percentage affected. RESULTS: In total, 1388 patients were included. Mean (SD) VitiQoL, HADS depression, and anxiety scores were higher for those with severe disease [40.5 (26.1), 5.2 (4.4), and 6.8 (4.7)] than those with mild [24.8 (18.8), 3.6 (3.8), 4.2 (3.8)] or moderate [27.1 (22.6), 3.8 (4.5), 4.3 (4.4)] disease. Patients with face affected reported higher VitiQoL [30.0 (22.3) versus 23.2 (19.3)], and HADS scores [depression, 4.3 (4.3) versus 3.2 (3.9); anxiety, 5.0 (4.3) versus 3.8 (3.9)] than those without. Patients with ≥ 5% BSA affected had higher VitiQoL, depression and anxiety scores [27.9 (21.8), 4.0 (4.4), and 4.5 (4.2)] than those with 0-5% [24.6 (19.7), 3.4 (3.7), and 4.3 (4.1)]. Patients with severe vitiligo, facial lesions, or ≥ 5% BSA reported higher activity impairment. Mean EQ-5D-5L-utility score was approximately 0.9 regardless of disease severity or total BSA affected. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate the impact disease severity can have on HRQoL and daily activities for patients with vitiligo. Lesions that are more severe, on the face, or covering a greater BSA are more often associated with poorer outcomes and activity impairment. These data also highlight the potential insensitivity of commonly used HRQoL measures and a need for more sensitive disease-specific measures.


Vitiligo is a disorder that causes patches of skin to lose pigment. In this study, we examined medical records of patients who have non-segmental vitiligo (the most common type of vitiligo) to better understand how the following factors affect the quality of life of patients with non-segmental vitiligo: (a) disease severity, (b) whether the face was affected, and (c) how much of the body was affected. Using a variety of measures, we found that patients with non-segmental vitiligo had lower quality of life, more symptoms of anxiety and depression, and higher activity impairment than those who did not. Our research highlights the differences in the measures used to assess the quality of life of patients, as well as the need for new therapies for non-segmental vitiligo.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: There is currently a lack of research regarding disease course and burden as well as treatment patterns and goals in patients with non-segmental vitiligo (NSV). The aim of this analysis was to evaluate disease course, treatment patterns and goals in patients with NSV. METHODS: This analysis used secondary data from the Adelphi Real World Vitiligo Disease Specific Programme™ 2021, specifically, a survey of physicians and their adult and adolescent patients with NSV. Physicians categorized patients by the extent of NSV at time of survey completion as mild, moderate or severe/very severe. Physician-reported patient information included demographics, current/previously prescribed NSV therapies, treatment satisfaction and the Vitiligo Noticeability Scale (VNS). Patients completed a survey on treatment satisfaction and the VNS. Treatment pattern data were stratified by disease extent and Fitzpatrick skin type. RESULTS: At survey completion, physicians reported that 38, 50 and 12% of patients (N = 1865) had improving, stable and deteriorating/progressing disease, respectively. Most patients (96%) with mild disease at treatment initiation still had mild disease at the time of survey completion. More than half of patients with moderate disease (62%) or severe/very severe disease (57%) at treatment initiation still had moderate or severe/very severe disease at survey completion. Topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs) were the most common treatment in 40% of patients followed by phototherapy in 30%. Patients hoped for re-pigmentation (mild 56%, moderate 62%, severe/very severe 66%), reduction (mild 50%, moderate 56%, severe/very severe 49%) or cessation of affected areas with vitiligo (mild 48%, moderate 54%, severe/very severe 43%). CONCLUSION: The study findings indicate that a significant proportion of patients with NSV are not improving on current treatments, most commonly TCIs and phototherapy. The results highlight the unmet need for novel and effective therapies to substantially improve re-pigmentation, an important treatment goal for patients with NSV.

RESUMEN

Alcohol misuse and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) co-occur at high rates among first responders (e.g., law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics), underscoring the need to better understand these relations to inform intervention efforts. Identifying malleable processes relevant to the association between PTSD and alcohol among first responders could inform tailored interventions. An example of such a malleable process is spirituality. As such, the current study examined the unique relationships between PTSD symptom clusters and alcohol misuse, while also accounting for the role of select demographics and religion/spirituality, in a sample of first responders. A national online sample of first responders (N = 320) completed measures of PTSD symptomology, alcohol misuse, religion/spirituality and demographics. Hierarchical linear regression analyses revealed that PTSD Intrusion (Cluster B) symptom severity was associated with greater alcohol misuse and PTSD Avoidance (Cluster C) was associated with lower alcohol misuse. Additionally, positive and negative spiritual coping were also associated with alcohol misuse. In the context of similar research among military samples, findings suggest potentially unique associations between PTSD symptom clusters and alcohol misuse among first responders. Additionally, findings highlight the potentially protective role of religion/spirituality in this population. Future research should explore nuanced relationships between PTSD symptom clusters and alcohol misuse as well as the salience of spirituality/religion in this unique population.

RESUMEN

Background: Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition is a promising approach for treating vitiligo. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib, an oral selective JAK inhibitor, in adults with non-segmental vitiligo. Methods: This was a phase 2, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study completed at 33 clinical centres in the United States, Canada, France, and Japan. Eligible patients were aged 18-65 years with non-segmental vitiligo and had a Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) ≥0.5 and a Total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) ≥5. Patients were randomly assigned (2:2:2:1:1) using an interactive response technology to receive upadacitinib 6 mg (UPA6), upadacitinib 11 mg (UPA11), upadacitinib 22 mg (UPA22), or placebo (PBO; preassigned to switch to either UPA11 or UPA22 in period 2) once daily for 24 weeks (period 1). For weeks 24-52 (period 2), patients randomly assigned to upadacitinib continued their treatment, and patients receiving PBO switched to their preassigned upadacitinib dose in a blinded fashion. The primary endpoint was the percent change from baseline in F-VASI at week 24. Efficacy was analysed in the intention-to-treat population, and safety was examined in all randomly assigned patients who received at least one dose of study drug. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT04927975. Findings: Between June 16, 2021, and June 27, 2022, 185 patients (including 115 [62%] who were female and 70 [38%] who were male) were randomly assigned to UPA6 (n = 49), UPA11 (n = 47), UPA22 (n = 43), or PBO (n = 46). At week 24, the LS mean difference versus PBO in the percent change from baseline in F-VASI was -7.60 (95% CI -22.18 to 6.97; p = 0.3037) for UPA6, -21.27 (95% CI -36.02 to -6.52; p = 0.0051) for UPA11, and -19.60 (95% CI -35.04 to -4.16; p = 0.0132) for UPA22. The LS mean difference versus PBO in the percent change from baseline in T-VASI was -7.45 (95% CI -16.86 to 1.96; p = 0.1198) for UPA6, -10.84 (95% CI -20.37 to -1.32; p = 0.0259) for UPA11 and -14.27 (95% CI -24.24 to -4.30; p = 0.0053) for UPA22. Ongoing treatment with upadacitinib induced continuous skin repigmentation over time without reaching a plateau through week 52. The rates for study drug discontinuation and serious treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were higher in the UPA22 group than in the UPA11 and UPA6 groups. Eight serious TEAEs, including one death of unknown cause and one case of infiltrating lobular breast carcinoma, were reported through 52 weeks; only two serious TEAEs (coronary artery arteriosclerosis [UPA6 (n = 1)] and non-fatal ischemic stroke [UPA11 (n = 1)]) were deemed by the investigator to have a reasonable possibility of being related to study drug. The one case of breast cancer in the UPA11 group was deemed unrelated to study drug, and the one death of unknown cause in the UPA22 group was reviewed and adjudicated and was deemed to be unrelated to study drug. The most common TEAEs were COVID-19, headache, acne, and fatigue. No new safety signals were observed. Interpretation: Upadacitinib monotherapy led to substantial repigmentation of both facial and total body vitiligo lesions and may offer an effective treatment option for adults with extensive non-segmental vitiligo. Based on these findings, upadacitinib 15 mg is being investigated in adults and adolescents with non-segmental vitiligo in an ongoing phase 3 randomised controlled trial. Funding: AbbVie Inc.

RESUMEN

Reimagining public health's future should include explicitly considering spirituality as a social determinant of health that is linked to human goods and is deeply valued by people and their communities. Spirituality includes a sense of ultimate meaning, purpose, transcendence, and connectedness. With that end in mind, we assessed how recommendations recently issued by an expert panel for integrating spiritual factors into public health and medicine are being adopted in current practice in the United States. These recommendations emerged from a systematic review of empirical evidence on spirituality, serious illness, and population health published between 2000 and 2022. For each recommendation, we reviewed current federal, state, and local policies and practices recognizing spiritual factors, and we considered the ways in which they reflected the panel's recommendations. In this article, we highlight opportunities for broader application and scale while also noting the potential harms and benefits associated with incorporating these recommendations in various contexts. This analysis, while respecting the spiritual and religious diversity of the US population, identifies promising approaches for strengthening US public health by integrating spiritual considerations to inform person- and community-centered policy and practice.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of melanocytes, leading to skin depigmentation. Vitiligo can have a high quality-of-life burden and profound impact on psychosocial well-being. The objectives of this study were to describe the self-reported patient burden among patients with nonsegmental vitiligo with ≤ 10% affected body surface area, summarize the physician-reported psychosocial and psychological impact of vitiligo on patient lives, and describe disease characteristics and treatment history, goals, and satisfaction. METHODS: Data were drawn from the Adelphi Vitiligo Disease Specific Programme™, a real-world, cross-sectional survey with retrospective data collection of physicians and patients with vitiligo, collected in the United States between October 2021 and April 2022. Separate surveys for dermatologists and patients contained questions on clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with vitiligo and burden of vitiligo. Treatment history, goals, and satisfaction were assessed together with the impact of vitiligo on quality of life. RESULTS: Sixty-one dermatologists provided data for 326 patients with ≤ 10% affected body surface area (adults, n = 221; adolescents, n = 105); 90 of those patients also responded to the survey. The most common treatments were topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and narrow-band ultraviolet-B phototherapy, with the main treatment goal being repigmentation. Physician-reported treatment satisfaction was 56%; 25% of patients reported frustration with treatment options. Physicians reported impact of vitiligo on everyday life in 46% of patients. Patients reported 12.7% overall work impairment; mean scores for Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale anxiety and depression domains were 3.5 and 2.2, respectively, and mean Vitiligo-specific Quality of Life index score was 26.9. Patients with facial involvement experienced higher burden than those without. CONCLUSION: A high patient burden was reported by dermatologists and their patients with vitiligo who had ≤ 10% affected body surface area, including psychosocial and psychological consequences. These findings highlight an unmet need in the treatment of vitiligo.


Vitiligo is a chronic disease in which cells that produce the skin pigment melanin are attacked, causing patches of skin to lose color and become pale. Vitiligo can have emotional impacts such as social or psychological distress that can affect the day-to-day well-being of individuals. However, there is a lack of studies that assess the ways that vitiligo affects the everyday lives of people with the condition in the United States. Dermatologists and people with vitiligo answered survey questions on treatment goals, any vitiligo treatments currently and previously used, and how satisfied they were with the results of treatment. The surveys also contained questions that assessed the impact of vitiligo on everyday life. Sixty-one dermatologists answered questions about 326 patients and 90 of those patients also provided their own answers to the survey questions. Both dermatologists and patients reported that restoring color to patches of pale skin was their goal in treating vitiligo. However, dermatologists and patients both reported that they were dissatisfied with the results of available treatments. Dermatologists and patients both reported that vitiligo impacted aspects of everyday life. Emotional and psychological impacts such as anxiety and depression were reported, as well as negative effects on patients' work and social lives due to vitiligo. These results confirm that vitiligo impacts the day-to-day well-being of patients. Furthermore, this study highlights that there is a need for improvements in the treatment of vitiligo.

RESUMEN

In this study, 32 older adults with and without mood disorders completed resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and measures of demographics, spirituality/religion, positive and negative religious coping, and depression. Group Independent Component Analysis identified and selected three a priori resting state networks [cingulo-opercular salience (cSN), central executive (CEN) and Default Mode Networks (DMN)] within the Triple Network Mode. We investigated associations of religious coping with within- and between-network connectivity, controlling for age. Insular connectivity within the cSN was associated with negative religious coping. Religious coping was associated with anti-correlation between the DMN and CEN even when controlling for depression.

RESUMEN

Objective: To examine the co-occurrence of alcohol misuse and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and potential sources of coping (e.g., spirituality/religion) and clinically relevant variables among first responders (e.g., firefighters, law enforcement corrections officers, paramedics). Method: We assessed rates of independent and co-occurring alcohol misuse and PTSD among a national online sample of 320 first responders as well as the prevalence and salience of S/R, guilt, shame, moral injury, aspects of S/R, and treatment interest. Results: In our sample, 46.88% (n = 150) met criteria for comorbid alcohol misuse and probable PTSD and individuals with these comorbid conditions reported significantly greater negative religious coping, moral injury, and shame than all other diagnostic groups (i.e., independent alcohol misuse, independent PTSD, and neither). Correlations also revealed significant relationships between alcohol misuse and PTSD symptomatology with positive and negative religious coping, moral injury, shame, guilt, interest in treatment, and interest in spiritually integrated treatment. Conclusions: Findings highlight the high rates of independent and co-occurring alcohol misuse and PTSD among first responders as well as the salience of S/R in this population.

RESUMEN

Spirituality/religion is clinically relevant to patients experiencing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or alcohol use disorder (AUD). Despite the comorbidity of PTSD and AUD among first responders (i.e., firefighters, law enforcement, paramedics, corrections officers), relatively little research has investigated the lived experience of first responders with PTSD and AUD as it related to spirituality and religion. As such, 12 (100% cisgender men, 91.7% White/European American) first responder psychiatric patients with comorbid PTSD and AUD were recruited from a psychiatric program serving first responders in the Northeast. Participants completed a semistructured interview, and transcripts were coded and thematically analyzed. The following themes and subthemes were identified: spiritual/religious distress (subthemes: abandonment, progressive deterioration of moral certainty, and loss of faith/doubt), spiritual/religious coping (subthemes: supporting sobriety and coping with PTSD), spirituality/religion in treatment, spirituality as distinct from religion, and spirituality and first responder culture. Findings highlight the need for additional research examining the role of spirituality/religion at the intersection of PTSD and AUD among first responders as well as the development of spiritually integrated treatment for this population.

RESUMEN

Background/Objective: as internet use becomes increasingly ingrained in contemporary society, internet addiction (IA) has emerged as a global public health concern. There is ongoing debate regarding whether IA represents a distinct psychological disorder or a secondary manifestation of other existing disorders. This study aimed to examine the pathological relationship between IA and emotional disorders (ED). Method: this study compared pre-treatment characteristics and treatment process of three groups of patients (N=1292) in a naturalistic treatment setting: IA only, ED only, and comorbidity of IA and ED. Results: the IA only group differed from the other groups by reporting the highest levels of life satisfaction, adaptive emotion regulation, as well as risk behavior urges at intake. In addition, the IA only group displayed the lowest level of depressive and anxiety symptoms throughout the treatment. Conclusion: our findings contribute to a better understanding of the discreteness of IA as a potential psychological disorder and inform more effective treatment strategies for IA and its comorbid conditions.

RESUMEN

Importance: Evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of vitiligo in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients in the US are needed. Objective: To develop evidence- and consensus-based expert recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of vitiligo in young patients. Evidence Review: A process was developed to produce consensus recommendations addressing questions regarding pediatric vitiligo. A librarian-conducted literature review was performed using articles that met the inclusion criteria: published in English, containing primary data (including meta-analysis) and pediatric-specific data, and analysis of 6 or more patients. Included articles were graded by the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy criteria and Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine's Levels of Evidence and Grades of Recommendation. Research questions were reviewed on May 9, 2022, through a video conference. One month after the conference, participants participated in an online survey documenting their level of agreement with the generated statements, using a 5-point Likert scale. Findings: Articles on topical corticosteroids and/or topical calcineurin inhibitors (n = 50), topical Janus kinase inhibitors (n = 5), pseudocatalase (n = 2), and microdermabrasion (n = 2) met inclusion criteria. Forty-two recommendations were made on the diagnosis of vitiligo and optimal topical therapeutics, with 33 recommendations obtaining a 70% or greater composite agreement and strong agreement. Topical calcineurin inhibitors twice daily, topical corticosteroids with time limitation due to atrophy risk, and topical ruxolitinib, 1.5%, cream-used off-label for patients younger than 12 years and limited to nonsegmental vitiligo-were identified as evidence-based first-line therapies in the management of pediatric and adolescent patients, with specific guidance on age-based data, minimum therapeutic trial of 6 months or greater, prolonged therapy to prevent recurrence, and the positive benefit of coordinated use of UV therapeutic sources. Conclusions and Relevance: Evidence supports the use of topical calcineurin inhibitors, topical corticosteroids, and topical Janus kinase inhibitors as effective therapeutics for vitiligo in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients, with specific decisions on choice of agent based on factors such as site location, body surface area, and age.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic yielded a substantial increase in worldwide prevalence and severity of anxiety, but less is known about effects on anxiety treatment. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on responses to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety, in a clinically heterogeneous sample of patients. METHODS: A sample of 764 outpatients were separated into four groups: (1) Pre-pandemic (start date on or prior to 12/31/2019), (2) Pandemic-Onset (start date from 01/01/2020 to 03/31/2020), (3) During-Pandemic (start date from 04/01/2020 through 12/31/2020), and (4) Post-Pandemic (start date on or after 01/01/2021). We subsequently compared treatment trajectories and effects within and between these groups over 5621 total time points (mean of 7.38 measurements per patient). RESULTS: Overall, patients presented with moderate levels of anxiety (M = 13.25, 95%CI: 12.87, 13.62), which rapidly decreased for 25 days (M = 9.46, 95%CI: 9.09, 9.83), and thereafter slowly declined into the mild symptom range over the remainder of the study period (M = 7.36, 95%CI: 6.81, 7.91), representing clinically as well as statistically significant change. A series of conditional multilevel regression models indicated that there were no substantive differences between groups, and no increase in anxiety during the acute pandemic phase. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that responses to treatment for anxiety were equivalent before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Among patients who were in treatment prior to the pandemic, we failed to detect an increase in anxiety during the pandemic's acute phase (March 20th, 2020 through July 1st, 2020).

RESUMEN

First responders (e.g. firefighters, law enforcement, paramedics, corrections officers) experience high rates of comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Despite the relevance of both spirituality and forgiveness to PTSD and AUD among first responders, spiritually integrated group interventions for this population are rare. This article discusses a forgiveness session of a spiritually integrated group psychotherapy protocol for first responders (SPIRIT-FR) in acute psychiatric care. This brief group psychotherapy intervention includes (a) psychoeducation about the intersection of PTSD, AUD, and forgiveness (b) discussion of the relevance of forgiveness to PTSD and AUD, and (c) the integration of spiritual beliefs and behaviors to move toward forgiveness. We discuss relevant clinical theory as well as the potential clinical application of this protocol.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Patients with psoriasis require long-term management; therefore, understanding the long-term safety of new treatments, such as bimekizumab (BKZ), is crucial. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate BKZ's 3-year safety profile in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS: Three years of safety data were pooled from three phase III trials (BE VIVID, BE READY and BE SURE) and their ongoing open-label extension (BE BRIGHT). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are reported using exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 patient-years (PY). RESULTS: In total, 1495 patients received at least one BKZ dose; total BKZ exposure was 3876.4 PY. The overall EAIR of TEAEs was 175.5/100 PY and decreased with longer exposure to BKZ. The most commonly reported TEAEs were nasopharyngitis, oral candidiasis and upper respiratory tract infection (EAIRs of 15.0/100 PY, 10.1/100 PY and 6.5/100 PY, respectively); 99.3% of oral candidiasis events were mild or moderate in severity, none were serious and few led to discontinuation. EAIRs of other TEAEs of interest were low, including serious infections (1.2/100 PY), adjudicated inflammatory bowel disease (0.2/100 PY) and laboratory elevations in aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase (> 5 × upper limit of normal: 0.6/100 PY). CONCLUSIONS: In these analyses pooled across 3 years, no new safety signals were observed with longer exposure to BKZ. The vast majority of oral candidiasis events were mild or moderate in severity, as reported previously.
