Prevalence and Patterns of Skin Diseases among School Children in Egypt: A National Cross-sectional Study.
Background: Pediatric dermatoses are common and impact the quality of life. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and characteristics of pediatric dermatoses among 1ry and 2ry school students in Egypt.
Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted on 23,203 1ry and 2ry school students of both sexes in eight governorates in Egypt between January 2023 and May 2023. A clinical examination for skin diseases was done, and a self-administered, author-designed questionnaire was given to children to complete with the assistance of their parents.
Results: The average age of students was 12.00 ± 3.33 years. Prevalence of skin diseases was 37.9%. Positive family history of skin disease (aOR 3.482, 95% CI: 2.871-4.222, p < 0.001), sanitary water disposal (aOR 3.846, 95% CI: 3.001-4.930, p < 0.001), residence (aOR 1.760, 95% CI: 1.657-1.870, p < 0.001), father's occupation and education (aOR 1.494, 95% CI: 1.334-1.672, p < 0.001 and aOR 1.349, 95% CI: 1.251-1.454, p < 0.001, respectively), and crowding index (aOR 1.469, 95% CI: 1.372-1.573, p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for exhibiting skin diseases.
Conclusion: A high prevalence of pediatric dermatosis was established with associated sociodemographic risk factors, so healthcare and education programs and services should be directed toward children with continuous supervision and periodic examination.
