Abstract

Introduction: Psoriasis is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). In Denmark, general practitioners (GPs) are responsible for annual screening, but validated tools for PsA screening are not consistently endorsed. Therefore, we evaluated the awareness and screening practices for CVD and PsA among patients with psoriasis among Danish GPs.

Methods: In a nationwide cross-sectional survey, 490 randomly selected Danish GPs were invited to complete a questionnaire on awareness and screening practices related to CVD and PsA in patients with psoriasis. Responses were analysed descriptively.

Results: A total of 101 GPs responded (21%). Most were aware of increased CVD risk (84%), and 60% reported screening for CVD, primarily assessing blood pressure, BMI, smoking status, and cholesterol. In contrast, only 32% reported screening for PsA.

Conclusions: CVD awareness and screening among Danish GPs are relatively high, whereas PsA screening is infrequent. Clearer guidance and simple screening tools may improve early detection of PsA.

初级保健中银屑病患者心血管风险和银屑病关节炎的筛查实践。

背景：全科医生（gp）是银屑病患者及其心血管疾病（CVD）和银屑病关节炎（PsA）筛查实践的主要看门人。本研究旨在评估丹麦全科医生对银屑病患者CVD和PsA的认识和筛查程序。方法：对490名随机抽取的丹麦全科医生进行全国性的筛查实践横断面调查。基于101个应答（21%应答率）对数据进行描述性分析。结果：调查显示，对心血管疾病风险的认识水平很高（84%），60%的全科医生报告了心血管问题的常规筛查。通常评估的参数包括血压（93%）和胆固醇（67%）。相反，PsA筛查的频率明显较低，只有32%的全科医生积极筛查PsA。结论：虽然初级保健专业人员对心血管疾病风险的筛查和认识，但PsA筛查仍然不够理想。研究结果表明，迫切需要更新指南，支持简单、有效的PsA筛查工具和有针对性的教育，以防止错过早期诊断的机会。

期刊介绍： Published since 1893, ''Dermatology'' provides a worldwide survey of clinical and investigative dermatology. Original papers report clinical and laboratory findings. In order to inform readers of the implications of recent research, editorials and reviews prepared by invited, internationally recognized scientists are regularly featured. In addition to original papers, the journal publishes rapid communications, short communications, and letters to ''Dermatology''. ''Dermatology'' answers the complete information needs of practitioners concerned with progress in research related to skin, clinical dermatology and therapy. The journal enjoys a high scientific reputation with a continually increasing impact factor and an equally high circulation.
