Abstract
Introduction: Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common, chronic inflammatory skin disease, but the physical and emotional burden of patients with SD experience has not been well characterized.
Methods: The Harris Poll conducted online surveys of US patients and healthcare providers (HCPs) from December 2021 to January 2022.
Results: Almost half of patients reported that SD negatively impacts their emotional and physical well-being "a lot/a great deal"; HCPs underestimate the level of impact on patients. Most patients with SD reported a significant mental health impact, including anxiety, depression, anxiety about interacting with other people, and isolation. Two-thirds of patients said they did not know anyone else who had been diagnosed with SD, and even after diagnosis, less than half of patients still said they did not know anyone else with SD. Nearly all patients and HCPs agreed that it was challenging to hide SD symptoms, and most patients felt embarrassed when people commented on their SD symptoms. Most patients agreed that they would be further along in their career if they did not have SD, and SD symptoms made them less confident at work and less likely to want to interact with people at work. Almost half of patients reported ever missing work as a result of SD symptoms.
Conclusion: These insights emphasize the physical and emotional patient burden associated with SD, impacting all aspects of patients' lives. Graphical abstract available for this article.
期刊介绍：
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
