BIOBADATOP: Registro Español de Dermatitis Atópica. Descripción y primeros resultados / BIOBADATOP Spanish Atopic Dermatitis Registry: Description and Early Findings

Antecedentes En los últimos años se ha producido una revolución en el conocimiento de la dermatitis atópica (DA) que ha revertido en un salto cualitativo en las expectativas terapéuticas. En este contexto, resulta fundamental disponer de datos de práctica clínica de calidad. Material y método BIOBADATOP es el Registro Español de Dermatitis Atópica, un estudio observacional, prospectivo y multicéntrico, con una cohorte de pacientes de cualquier edad con DA que requieren el empleo de tratamiento sistémico (convencional o innovador). Se registraron los datos demográficos, de diagnóstico, los tratamientos y los acontecimientos adversos (AA). Resultados Se incluyeron 258 pacientes, con 347 tratamientos sistémicos iniciados para la DA. Se suspendieron el 29,4% de los tratamientos, principalmente por falta de eficacia (10,7%). Durante el período de seguimiento se registraron 132AA. Del total, el 65% (86) relacionaron con el tratamiento sistémico iniciado, siendo los más frecuentes dupilumab (39AA) y ciclosporina (38AA). Los AA más frecuentes fueron: conjuntivitis (11pacientes), cefalea (6), hipertricosis (5) y náuseas (4). Se registró un AA grave (mastoiditis aguda) relacionado con ciclosporina. Conclusiones En este primer informe, la descripción de AA está limitada por los cortos períodos de seguimiento, que no permiten el cálculo de tasas de incidencias crudas ni ajustadas y no se han realizado comparaciones. Hasta la fecha del análisis no se han registrado AA graves en relación a las nuevas terapias. BIOBADATOP permitirá generar conocimiento en términos de efectividad y seguridad de los tratamientos sistémicos clásicos y las nuevas terapias en DA (AU)

Background In recent years, remarkable improvements in our understanding of atopic dermatitis (AD) have revolutionized treatment perspectives, but access to reliable data from clinical practice is essential. Materials and method The Spanish Atopic Dermatitis Registry, BIOBADATOP, is a prospective, multicenter database that collects information on patients of all ages with AD requiring systemic therapy with conventional or novel drugs. We analyzed the registry to describe patient characteristics, diagnoses, treatments, and adverse events (AEs). Results We studied data entries for 258 patients who had received 347 systemic treatments for AD. Treatment was discontinued in 29.4% of cases, mostly due to a lack of effectiveness (in 10.7% of cases). A total of 132 AEs were described during follow-up. Eighty-six AEs (65%) were linked to a systemic treatment, most commonly dupilumab (39AEs) and cyclosporine (38AEs). The most common AEs were conjunctivitis (11patients), headache (6), hypertrichosis (5), and nausea (4). There was 1severe AE (acute mastoiditis) associated with cyclosporine. Conclusions Initial findings on AEs from the Spanish BIOBADATOP registry are limited by short follow-up times precluding comparisons or calculation of crude and adjusted incidence rates. At the time of our analysis, no severe AEs had been reported for novel systemic therapies. BIOBADATOP will help answer questions on the effectiveness and safety of conventional and novel systemic therapies in AD (AU)

The Most Useful Pharmaceutical Formulations (Individualized Medications) in Pediatric Dermatology: A Review. / Revisión de las fórmulas magistrales (medicamentos individualizados) de mayor interés en dermatología pediátrica.

The administration of appropriate doses of active ingredients and excipients is crucial for achieving desired treatment outcomes in pediatric dermatology. A number of factors need to be considered, including the characteristics of the lesion, the patient, and the drug. An additional challenge in pediatric settings is the limited number of commercially available formulations suitable for use in children. Drug compounding, which is the preparation of medications tailored to the needs of individual patients, is a good alternative for pediatric populations for a number of reasons. Using a customized compound, the clinician can prescribe formulations that contain the optimal dose of the active ingredients within acceptable limits and the most suitable vehicle and formulation components. Compounding can also be used to combine several active ingredients in a single medication and even adapt the vehicle to the characteristics of the lesion and the needs of the patient. The pharmaceutical formulations described in this review are based on extensive clinical experience and can be customized to meet individual needs.

relación entre esta vitamina y algunas dermatosis ha supuesto la publicación de múltiples trabajos al respecto. Como dermatólogos, conocer sus principales fuentes, síntesis, niveles plasmáticos y algunos de los factores modificadores son varios de los aspectos a recordar. Asimismo, es preciso resaltar los últimos descubrimientos sobre el papel de la vitamina D en las diferentes enfermedades dermatológicas, como el lupus eritematoso, la ictiosis, la dermatitis atópica, la hidrosadenitis supurativa, el acné, la alopecia areata y androgenética, el melanoma y el cáncer cutáneo no melanoma, así como la relevancia como terapia adyuvante en pacientes en tratamiento crónico con corticoides. Acercamos al lector la información más relevante y reciente de la relación entre la vitamina D y las enfermedades de la piel, así como la importancia de conocer los niveles de esta vitamina

In recent years, the growing interest in the role played by vitamin D in skin disease has given rise to the publication of many studies of the relationship between this vitamin and certain skin conditions. As dermatologists, we need to understand, among other aspects, how vitamin D is synthesized and the main sources in humans, as well as plasma levels and the factors that can modify them. Of particular interest are the latest discoveries about the role of vitamin D in skin diseases such as lupus erythematosus, ichthyosis, atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, melanoma, and nonmelanoma skin cancer. Also of interest is the importance of vitamin D as adjuvant therapy in patients on long-term treatment with corticosteroids. In this review, we provide an overview of the most important and most recent information regarding the relationship between vitamin D and skin disease and discuss the importance of assessing individual vitamin D status and correcting deficiencies
