RESUMO

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic may have adversely affected the early diagnosis of skin cancer. Objective To compare epidemiological, clinical and histopathological characteristics in patients undergoing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) surgery before and after the beginning of the pandemic. Material & methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including two case series: (1) patients operated on for SCC in the year after the first state of alarm in Spain (15 March 2020), and (2) patients with SCC operated on in the previous year. Epidemiological, clinical and histopathological variables, tumour stage and risk grade were collected. Results: 248 patients were included (127 undergoing surgery before the pandemic and 121 after the pandemic). After the beginning of the pandemic, the percentage of high-risk SCC significantly increased from 35.3% to 46.2% (p=0.011). However, no significant differences were found in thickness, perineural invasion or metastases. Conclusions: Although there has not been a significant reduction in the number of SCC operated on after the pandemic, there has been a significant increase in high-risk SCC. All this could lead to an increase in skin cancer mortality in the future. (AU)


Antecedentes: La pandemia de COVID-19 ha podido afectar negativamente el diagnóstico precoz del cáncer de piel. Objetivo Comparar las características epidemiológicas, clínicas e histopatológicas en los pacientes intervenidos de carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE) cutáneo antes de la pandemia y después del inicio de la pandemia. Material y métodos: Se diseñó un estudio transversal que incluía 2 series de pacientes: 1) pacientes intervenidos de CCE el año posterior a la declaración del confinamiento general en España (15 de marzo de 2020), y 2) pacientes intervenidos de CCE el año previo. Se recogieron variables epidemiológicas, clínicas e histopatológicas, así como el estadio tumoral y el grado de riesgo. Resultados: Se incluyeron 248 pacientes (127 intervenidos antes de la pandemia y 121 intervenidos después de la pandemia). Tras el inicio de la pandemia, el porcentaje de CCE de alto riesgo aumentó significativamente de 32,3 a 45,5% (p=0,011). No obstante, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en el grosor tumoral, la invasión perineural o la presencia de metástasis. Conclusiones: Aunque no se produjo una reducción significativa en el número de CCE intervenidos después de la pandemia, ha habido un incremento significativo en los CCE de alto riesgo. Todo ello puede conllevar un incremento en la mortalidad por cáncer de piel en el futuro. (AU)

RESUMO

Antecedentes y objetivos: La calidad de vida profesional se define como el bienestar derivado del equilibrio entre las exigencias del ámbito laboral y los recursos para afrontarlas, el deterioro de la calidad de vida profesional puede contribuir en el síndrome de burnout o del profesional quemado. El objetivo de este estudio consiste en evaluar mediante cuestionario validado la calidad de vida profesional de los dermatólogos españoles. Material y métodos: Se diseñó un estudio transversal que incluyó dermatólogos españoles que respondieran a un formulario autoadministrado enviado a través de aplicaciones de mensajería online. El formulario incluyó datos sociodemográficos, 3 preguntas de respuestas abiertas y el Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida Profesional (CVP-35). Resultados: Se incluyó a 106 participantes en este estudio, siendo un 58% (62/106) mujeres. La edad media fue de 41 años (intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%: 43,3-38,8). Las puntuaciones para el dominio «carga de trabajo» de CVP-35 fueron superiores en las mujeres (p=0,02) y en los jefes de servicio (p=0,005). La presión asistencial fue el tema tratado con más frecuencia como factor limitante de la calidad de vida laboral, y el principal cambio identificado tras la pandemia de COVID-19. Conclusiones: En nuestro estudio las mujeres refirieron una mayor carga de trabajo. El incremento de carga asistencial y de trabajo a distancia fueron los principales cambios por la pandemia de COVID-19. La presión asistencial es una gran limitante de la calidad de vida profesional de nuestros compañeros, reducirla mejoraría la satisfacción diaria y la calidad asistencial. (AU)


Background and objective: Quality of professional life (QPL) is defined as a sense of well-being derived from a balance between the challenges of work and the resources available to deal with them. Impaired QPL can contribute to burnout. The aim of this study was to evaluate QPL in Spanish dermatologists using a validated questionnaire. Material and methods: We designed a cross-sectional study in which Spanish dermatologists were invited to complete an online questionnaire sent out by messaging applications. The dermatologists were asked to provide sociodemographic information, answer 3 open questions, and complete the 35-item Spanish QPL questionnaire (Spanish abbreviation, CVP-35). Results: We analyzed the information submitted by 106 dermatologists (62 women, 58%) with a mean age of 41 years (95% CI, 43.3-38.8 years). Women and department heads scored significantly higher in the workload domain of the questionnaire (P=.02 and P=.005, respectively). A heavy caseload was mentioned as the main factor contributing to impaired QPL and the main change in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: Female dermatologists reported heavier workloads. Heavy caseloads and more remote work were the main changes identified after the COVID-19 pandemic. Heavy caseloads have a significant impact on the QPL of dermatologists in Spain. Reducing caseloads would improve general job satisfaction and quality of care provision. (AU)

RESUMO

Antecedentes: En España, aunque el Ministerio de Sanidad elabora el informe de posicionamiento terapéutico (IPT) y las condiciones de reembolso de los fármacos, las Comunidades Autónomas (CC. AA.) gestionan los servicios de salud y deciden sobre las condiciones de prescripción en su ámbito territorial. El objetivo del estudio EQUIDAD fue describir los condicionantes para la prescripción de los nuevos fármacos en Dermatología en las CC. AA. y sus posibles diferencias. Material y métodos: Estudio transversal realizado en abril-mayo del 2023. Dos dermatólogos con responsabilidades directivas de cada Comunidad Autónoma (C. A.) informaron sobre los condicionantes autonómicos y locales en la prescripción de los fármacos cuyo IPT para el tratamiento de enfermedades dermatológicas fue publicado en los años 2016-2022. Los datos fueron recogidos mediante un cuestionario online. Resultados: Un total de 33 investigadores de 17 CC. AA. participaron en el estudio. Se observaron inequidades entre CC. AA. para el acceso a los nuevos fármacos. Existieron condicionantes autonómicos adicionales al IPT en psoriasis en el 64,7% de las CC. AA., siendo este porcentaje menor en dermatitis atópica (35,3%) o melanoma (11,8%). El más frecuente fue el requisito de un orden de prescripción previo para el uso del fármaco. En algunas CC. AA. se detectaron además variaciones y condicionantes locales (diferencias entre centros de una misma C. A.). Conclusiones: Existe una multiplicidad de criterios tanto a nivel autonómico como local que añade restricciones adicionales a las establecidas por los IPT y que plantean una situación de inequidad entre los pacientes y los profesionales de las diferentes CC. AA. en el acceso a los nuevos fármacos. (AU)


Background: Although the Spanish Ministry of Health prepares national therapeutic positioning reports (TPRs) and drug reimbursement policies, each of the country's 17 autonomous communities (ACs) is responsible for health care services and prescription requirements in its territory. The aim of the EQUIDAD study was to describe and explore potential differences in prescription requirements for new dermatology drugs across the autonomous communities. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in April and May, 2023. Two dermatologists with management responsibilities from each autonomous community reported on territorial and more local prescription requirements for drugs covered by national TPRs issued between 2016 and 2022. Results: Thirty-three researchers from 17 autonomous communities participated. The data submitted revealed between-community inequities in access to new drugs. Overall, 64.7% of the regions imposed additional prescription requirements to those mentioned in the TPRs for psoriasis. This percentage was lower for atopic dermatitis (35.3%) and melanoma (11.8%). The most common requirement for accessing a new drug was a previous prescription for another drug. Differences and additional requirements were also detected at the local level (i.e., differences between hospitals within the same autonomous community). Conclusions: Spain's autonomous communities have multiple regional and local prescription requirements that are not aligned with national TPR recommendations. These differences result in inequitable access to new drugs for both patients and practitioners across Spain. (AU)

RESUMO

Exposure to UV radiation is a major risk factor for the development of malignant skin neoplasms. Currently, there are no studies available on sun-exposure habits among different countries. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among medical students from the University of Rome, Italy and the University of Granada, Spain to compare their photoprotection knowledge, habits, and attitudes. A total of 215 medical students (114 Spanish, and 101 Italian) were included. Spanish students considered the Sun to be the main cause of skin cancer (83.3% vs 61.4%, P=.003) and they looked at their skin more often than Italian students did (32.5% vs 9.9%, P <.001). The latter received information on photoprotection mainly from their dermatologist (34.7%, 35/101) vs Spaniards who received such information from their university (39.5%, 45/114; P <.001). After studying dermatology, Spaniards used sunscreen more frequently than Italians did (76.8% before vs 88.1% after; P=.007), and recognised the need to implement other measures as well (44.9% vs 67.2%; P=.025).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The past 5 years have seen a proliferation of new treatments for atopic dermatitis (AD). We analyzed recent drug survival data for cyclosporine in this setting. Because the Spanish National Healthcare system requires patients with AD to be treated with cyclosporine before they can be prescribed other systemic treatments, drug survival for cyclosporine may be shorter than in other diseases. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Multicenter, observational, prospective cohort study using data from the Spanish Atopic Dermatitis Registry (BIOBADATOP). Data from the Spanish Registry of Systemic Treatments in Psoriasis (BIOBADADERM) were used to create a comparison cohort. RESULTS: We analyzed data for 130 patients with AD treated with cyclosporine (median drug survival, 1 year). Median cyclosporine survival in the psoriasis comparison group (150 patients) was 0.37 years. Drug survival was significantly longer in AD than in psoriasis (P<.001). CONCLUSION: Drug survival of cyclosporine in the BIOBADATOP registry is similar to that described in other series of patients with AD and longer than that observed in the BIOBADADERM psoriasis registry.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: PRP is a rare entity of unknown etiopathogenesis. Lack of management guidelines makes it a challenge for clinicians. OBJECTIVE: To add our experience to increase evidence about PRP. METHODS: We performed a retrospective, descriptive and multicentric study of 65 patients with PRP, being the largest European case series of patients with PRP. RESULTS: PRP was more frequent in male patients with an average age of 51 years, but erythrodermic forms presented in older patients (average age 61 years). Six (75%) paediatric patients and ten (60%) non-erythrodermic adults controlled their disease with topical corticosteroids. On the contrary, 26 (68%) erythrodermic patients required biologic therapy as last and effective therapy line requiring an average of 6.5 months to achieve complete response. CONCLUSION: Our study showed a statistical difference in terms of outcome and response to treatment between children or patients with limited disease and patients who develop erythroderma.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic may have adversely affected the early diagnosis of skin cancer. OBJECTIVE: To compare epidemiological, clinical and histopathological characteristics in patients undergoing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) surgery before and after the beginning of the pandemic. MATERIAL & METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study including two case series: (1) patients operated on for SCC in the year after the first state of alarm in Spain (15 March 2020), and (2) patients with SCC operated on in the previous year. Epidemiological, clinical and histopathological variables, tumour stage and risk grade were collected. RESULTS: 248 patients were included (127 undergoing surgery before the pandemic and 121 after the pandemic). After the beginning of the pandemic, the percentage of high-risk SCC significantly increased from 35.3% to 46.2% (p=0.011). However, no significant differences were found in thickness, perineural invasion or metastases. CONCLUSIONS: Although there has not been a significant reduction in the number of SCC operated on after the pandemic, there has been a significant increase in high-risk SCC. All this could lead to an increase in skin cancer mortality in the future.

RESUMO

Introducción Los motivos de consulta de índole dermatológico son muy frecuentes en las consultas de pediatría de atención primaria, e igualmente muchos de los pacientes atendidos en consultas de dermatología son niños y adolescentes. A pesar de ello, faltan estudios sobre la prevalencia real de estas consultas y sus características. Material y método Estudio observacional de corte transversal de 2 períodos de tiempo describiendo los diagnósticos realizados en consultas externas dermatológicas, obtenidos a través de la encuesta anónima DIADERM, realizada a una muestra aleatoria y representativa de dermatólogos. A partir de la codificación de diagnósticos CIE-10, se seleccionaron todos los diagnósticos codificados en los menores de 18 años (84 diagnósticos codificados en los 2 períodos), que se agruparon en 14 categorías diagnósticas relacionadas para facilitar su análisis y comparación. Resultados Un total de 20.097 diagnósticos fueron efectuados en pacientes menores de 18 años, lo que supone un 12% del total de los codificados en DIADERM. Las infecciones víricas, el acné y la dermatitis atópica fueron los diagnósticos más comunes (43,9% de todos los diagnósticos). No se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la proporción de diagnósticos atendidos en las consultas monográficas frente a las generales, así como en los registrados en el ámbito público frente al privado. Tampoco las hubo en los diagnósticos en función de la época de la encuesta (enero y mayo). Conclusiones La atención a pacientes pediátricos por parte de dermatólogos en España supone una proporción significativa de la actividad habitual. Estos datos nos permiten descubrir áreas de mejora en la comunicación y la formación de los pediatras de atención primaria, como la necesidad del refuerzo de actividades formativas dirigidas al mejor tratamiento de acné y lesiones pigmentadas (y manejo básico de la dermatoscopia) en este ámbito asistencial (AU)


Background Visits for skin conditions are very common in pediatric primary care, and many of the patients seen in outpatient dermatology clinics are children or adolescents. Little, however, has been published about the true prevalence of these visits or about their characteristics. Material and methods Observational cross-sectional study of diagnoses made in outpatient dermatology clinics during 2 data-collection periods in the anonymous DIADERM National Random Survey of dermatologists across Spain. All entries with an International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision code related to dermatology in the 2 periods (84 diagnoses) were collected for patients younger than 18 years and classified into 14 categories to facilitate analysis and comparison. Results In total, the search found 20 097 diagnoses made in patients younger than 18 years (12% of all coded diagnoses in the DIADERM database). Viral infections, acne, and atopic dermatitis were the most common, accounting for 43.9% of all diagnoses. No significant differences were observed in the proportions of diagnoses in the respective caseloads of specialist vs. general dermatology clinics or public vs. private clinics. Seasonal differences in diagnoses (January vs. May) were also nonsignificant. Conclusions Pediatric care accounts for a significant proportion of the dermatologist's caseload in Spain. Our findings are useful for identifying opportunities for improving communication and training in pediatric primary care and for designing training focused on the optimal treatment of acne and pigmented lesions (with instruction on basic dermoscopy use) in these settings (AU)

RESUMO

Background Visits for skin conditions are very common in pediatric primary care, and many of the patients seen in outpatient dermatology clinics are children or adolescents. Little, however, has been published about the true prevalence of these visits or about their characteristics. Material and methods Observational cross-sectional study of diagnoses made in outpatient dermatology clinics during 2 data-collection periods in the anonymous DIADERM National Random Survey of dermatologists across Spain. All entries with an International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision code related to dermatology in the 2 periods (84 diagnoses) were collected for patients younger than 18 years and classified into 14 categories to facilitate analysis and comparison. Results In total, the search found 20 097 diagnoses made in patients younger than 18 years (12% of all coded diagnoses in the DIADERM database). Viral infections, acne, and atopic dermatitis were the most common, accounting for 43.9% of all diagnoses. No significant differences were observed in the proportions of diagnoses in the respective caseloads of specialist vs. general dermatology clinics or public vs. private clinics. Seasonal differences in diagnoses (January vs. May) were also nonsignificant. Conclusions Pediatric care accounts for a significant proportion of the dermatologist's caseload in Spain. Our findings are useful for identifying opportunities for improving communication and training in pediatric primary care and for designing training focused on the optimal treatment of acne and pigmented lesions (with instruction on basic dermoscopy use) in these settings (AU)


Introducción Los motivos de consulta de índole dermatológico son muy frecuentes en las consultas de pediatría de atención primaria, e igualmente muchos de los pacientes atendidos en consultas de dermatología son niños y adolescentes. A pesar de ello, faltan estudios sobre la prevalencia real de estas consultas y sus características. Material y método Estudio observacional de corte transversal de 2 períodos de tiempo describiendo los diagnósticos realizados en consultas externas dermatológicas, obtenidos a través de la encuesta anónima DIADERM, realizada a una muestra aleatoria y representativa de dermatólogos. A partir de la codificación de diagnósticos CIE-10, se seleccionaron todos los diagnósticos codificados en los menores de 18 años (84 diagnósticos codificados en los 2 períodos), que se agruparon en 14 categorías diagnósticas relacionadas para facilitar su análisis y comparación. Resultados Un total de 20.097 diagnósticos fueron efectuados en pacientes menores de 18 años, lo que supone un 12% del total de los codificados en DIADERM. Las infecciones víricas, el acné y la dermatitis atópica fueron los diagnósticos más comunes (43,9% de todos los diagnósticos). No se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la proporción de diagnósticos atendidos en las consultas monográficas frente a las generales, así como en los registrados en el ámbito público frente al privado. Tampoco las hubo en los diagnósticos en función de la época de la encuesta (enero y mayo). Conclusiones La atención a pacientes pediátricos por parte de dermatólogos en España supone una proporción significativa de la actividad habitual. Estos datos nos permiten descubrir áreas de mejora en la comunicación y la formación de los pediatras de atención primaria, como la necesidad del refuerzo de actividades formativas dirigidas al mejor tratamiento de acné y lesiones pigmentadas (y manejo básico de la dermatoscopia) en este ámbito asistencial (AU)

RESUMO

La definición de indicadores de calidad es una estrategia clave para garantizar la calidad de la asistencia sanitaria y su homogenización. Así, el proyecto CUDERMA surge como una iniciativa de la AEDV para definir indicadores de calidad con los que certificar unidades de distintos campos de interés en la dermatología, de los que se seleccionaron psoriasis y dermatooncología de forma inicial. El objetivo de este trabajo fue consensuar los aspectos a evaluar por los indicadores en la certificación de las unidades de psoriasis. Para ello se siguió un proceso estructurado que contempló la revisión bibliográfica de indicadores, la elaboración de un set preliminar revisado por un grupo de expertos multidisciplinar y el consenso Delphi. Un panel de 39 dermatólogos evaluó los indicadores, y los clasificó como «básicos» o «de excelencia». Finalmente se consensuaron 67 indicadores que serán estandarizados para diseñar la norma con la que certificar las unidades de psoriasis (AU)


Defining quality indicators is a key strategy for ensuring the quality and standardization of health care. The CUDERMA project, an initiative of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venerology (AEDV), was undertaken to define quality indicators for the certification of specialized units in dermatology; the first 2 areas selected were psoriasis and dermato-oncology. The aim of this study was to reach a consensus on what should be assessed by the indicators used to certify psoriasis units. The structured process used to do this comprised a literature review to identify potential indicators, the selection of an initial set of indicators to be evaluated by a multidisciplinary group of experts and, finally, a Delphi consensus study. A panel of 39 dermatologists evaluated the selected indicators and classified them as either “essential” or “of excellence”. Consensus was finally reached on 67 indicators, which will be standardized and used to develop the certification standard for psoriasis units (AU)
