Abstract
Background: Chronic hand eczema (CHE) has a significant negative impact on quality of life and a high disease burden.
Objective: To investigate the importance of skin clearance and daily time trade off (dTTO) in adult patients with CHE.
Methods: Patients with CHE from the Danish Skin Cohort were sent a digital survey regarding demographics, lifestyle factors, CHE characteristics, importance of obtaining skin clearance, and dTTO.
Results: Of 372 patients with current CHE, 58.1%, 26.3%, 11.0%, and 4.6% reported having mild, moderate, severe, and very severe CHE, respectively. Patients reported a median of 9 (interquartile range: [5-10], 9 [7-10], 10 [8-10] and 10 [9-10]) when asked about the importance of obtaining 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% skin clearance, respectively (numerical rating scale from 0 [lowest] to 10 [highest]). Importance of skin clearance increased with increasing CHE severity (p < 0.001). One in three patients (41.2%) with either severe or very severe CHE was willing to allocate > 1 h a day to treat their CHE.
Conclusions: Skin clearance was important among CHE patients, and patients with more severe disease were willing to allocate a substantial amount of time every day to treat their CHE.
期刊介绍:
Contact Dermatitis is designed primarily as a journal for clinicians who are interested in various aspects of environmental dermatitis. This includes both allergic and irritant (toxic) types of contact dermatitis, occupational (industrial) dermatitis and consumers" dermatitis from such products as cosmetics and toiletries. The journal aims at promoting and maintaining communication among dermatologists, industrial physicians, allergists and clinical immunologists, as well as chemists and research workers involved in industry and the production of consumer goods. Papers are invited on clinical observations, diagnosis and methods of investigation of patients, therapeutic measures, organisation and legislation relating to the control of occupational and consumers".
