Need for individualized counseling regarding psoriasis systemic therapy in women of childbearing age: analysis of the PsoFem study at the University Medical Center Hamburg

B. Stephan, R. Sommer, M. Augustin, N. Ganjuur & N. da Silva-Burger

For patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and current childbearing/ pregnancy, the choice of therapy is limited.

The present study compared the disease burden and treatment choices in women of childbearing age (WoCBA) with and without a current wish for pregnancy.

Female patients aged 18 to 45 years, with moderate-to-severe psoriasis vulgaris, were consecutively recruited. The patients reported on sociodemographic/reproductive characteristics and quality of life impairments. The physicians assessed disease severity, comorbidities, and current treatment(s). Both patients’ and dermatologists’ perceptions of shared decision-making for the current systemic treatment were surveyed.

Vitiligo - a disease: A position paper on stigmatization, life quality impairment and psychosocial comorbidity

M. Böhm, R. Sommer, U. Gieler, P. Staubach, A. Zink, C. Apfelbacher & E.M.J. Peters

Vitiligo is a common disorder characterized by the visible loss of skin pigmentation. Non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) is the major subtype. The disease is caused by autoimmune-mediated destruction of melanocytes. Vitiligo leads to stigmatization and a significant reduction in quality of life. We recommend optimizing care by incorporating the assessment of quality of life as a standard in routine care, in addition to monitoring disease activity.
