Abstract

Chronic hand eczema is a multifactorial, fluctuating, inflammatory skin disease of the hands and wrists, defined as hand eczema that persists for at least 3 months or recurs at least twice within 1 year. Chronic hand eczema is heterogeneous in nature with different clinical manifestations. This chronic condition can significantly impact daily activities and health-related quality of life for patients, including notable physical, psychosocial, occupational, and socioeconomic burdens. However, awareness of the disease and the patient experience remains poor. This review aims to improve understanding of chronic hand eczema in the context of its underlying pathogenesis, clinical subtypes and presentation, and risk factors. Additionally, an overview of the patient experience of the disease, including health-related quality of life and socioeconomic implications, is provided. Improved understanding of chronic hand eczema will support optimal patient care by empowering healthcare providers to more quickly and correctly diagnose this disease with high unmet treatment needs and subsequently offer appropriate holistic care.

慢性手湿疹，真实世界，和病人为中心：叙述回顾。

慢性手部湿疹是一种多因素的、波动的、炎症性的手部和手腕皮肤病，定义为持续至少3个月或1年内至少复发两次的手部湿疹。慢性手湿疹性质各异，临床表现各异。这种慢性疾病可显著影响患者的日常活动和与健康相关的生活质量，包括显著的身体、社会心理、职业和社会经济负担。然而，人们对这种疾病的认识和患者的经历仍然很差。本文综述旨在提高对慢性手湿疹的潜在发病机制、临床亚型和表现以及危险因素的了解。此外，还概述了该疾病的患者经历，包括与健康有关的生活质量和社会经济影响。提高对慢性手湿疹的了解将支持最佳的患者护理，使医疗保健提供者能够更快、更正确地诊断这种具有高未满足治疗需求的疾病，并随后提供适当的整体护理。
