Abstract

Starting from the well known stable free radical DPPH (or its reduced counterpart, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazine) and several amino derivatives, novel zwitterionic compounds (diazenium betaines) were obtained and characterized by different means, like NMR, IR, MS, and UV–Vis. These betaines are highly intense blue-colored compounds that can be easily reduced by ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or sodium ascorbate to their corresponding para-phenyl substituted derivatives of DPPH, which have a yellow color. Most of such redox processes were found to be reversible. However, the oxidation of 2-p-aminophenyl-2-phenyl-1-picryl-hydrazine led to an azo-derivative of DPPH diradical, and its structure was unveiled by X-ray monocrystal diffraction. Possible diradicaloid behavior is also discussed.

Abstract

Bromination of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical with bromine or N-bromo-succinimide (NBS) affords a complex mixture of bromo- and nitro-derivatives of the starting material. In this study, by chromatographic separation, most of the reaction products were isolated. Suitable crystals for X-ray measurements were obtained and characterized for the compounds 2-p-bromophenyl-2-phenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical (Br-DPPH), 2-p-bromophenyl-2-phenyl-1-picrylhydrazine (Br-DPPH-H), and 2,2-(p-bromophenyl)-1-(2-bromo-4,6-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine (Br2-DPPBr-H).

In June 2020, and independently in February 2022, patients with psoriasis or psoriasis arthritis received a standardized questionnaire for current treatment, protective measures, well-being, and individual risks for COVID-19, among others.Results: Included were 4,194 patients in 2020 (mean age of 47.7 years and 41.8% women) and 4,818 patients in 2022 (mean age of 56.4 and 42.9% women). Treatment discontinuations were observed in 2.7% and 1.7% of patients in 2020 and 2022, respectively. In the vast majority of the cases (> 92%), no additional measures were taken concerning the management of psoriasis treatments in either 2020 or 2022. Those patients with changes reported most frequently: telephone calls instead of face-to-face visits (80.2%, in 2020 vs 40.5% in 2022) or more frequent controls (27.1%, 2020 vs 22.0%, 2022). A majority (66.7%, 2020, and 70.6%, 2022) did not perceive the virus as a considerable threat. The proportion of patients feeling well informed about COVID-19 by physicians increased from 42.6% in 2020 to 51.8% in 2022. About 81.1% of patients in 2020 and 67.5% in 2022 stated that their overall personal condition was not affected due to the pandemic. Physicians attributed no special risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 in most of the patients.Conclusion: A high rate of systemic treatment persistence and awareness of risks and protective measures indicate that health care for psoriasis largely followed current national and international recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic.Keywords: psoriasis, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, pandemic, patient perception, risk factors

This retrospective analysis aims to better understand the impact of the pandemic on health care workers. The results could help improve future pandemic plans and measures to protect health care workers.Patients and Methods: In 2020, the whole staff (460 participants) of the dermatological hospital Bad Bentheim had been offered the option to be tested with respect to the antibody status on SARS-CoV-2 (IgG, IgM). The data were collected by means of a blood sample and subsequent questionnaires (22 questions for employees with positive SARS-CoV-2 serology) regarding disease severity, symptoms, disease duration, chains of infection, psychological and physical burden. Both groups were divided by positive or negative serology and data analysis was performed using an independent t-test.Results: It was shown that a COVID-19 Infection clinically presented itself as a respiratory tract infection, differed significantly in severity and duration, but also the long-term consequences in employees with proven COVID-19 disease (n=14, 3.7%) from the employees with non-COVID-19 respiratory diseases (33.6% of the seronegative employees). In addition, there was a significant psychological impairment and burden of COVID-19-affected employees. Our study showed unique insights into infection chains, disease courses, disease severity, symptoms and a significant psychological impairment and burden of COVID-19-affected employees among the COVID-19 positive staff.Conclusion: Our study shows deep insights into infection chains, disease courses, disease severity and symptoms among the COVID-19 positive staff and led to change of behavior with the disease itself and among the health care professionals. This knowledge has the potential to positively influence the handling of similar future events.Plain Language Summary: Due to the nature of the Corona pandemic with massive effects, especially in the environment of health care facilities, we provide a detailed insight into the stresses on employees in a dermatological acute and rehabilitation clinic. To recognize their stress and to monitor the maintenance and quality of patient care, it is important to focus especially on the effects of an infection with SARS-CoV-2 of these employees and to analyze them. This revealed insights into the disease trajectories of staff infected with COVID-19 with significant differences compared to healthy individuals. Starting with physical symptoms and ending with psychological stress.Keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, immunoassay, infection chain, hospital staff

Abstract

BackgroundCertolizumab pegol (CZP) is an Fc-free, PEGylated anti-tumor necrosis factor biologic.ObjectivesTo report 3-year outcomes from the CIMPACT (NCT02346240) phase 3, CZP in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, randomized controlled trial.MethodsAdults were randomized 3:3:3:1 to CZP 200 mg every other week (Q2W), CZP 400 mg Q2W, etanercept biweekly or placebo. At Week 16, CZP- and etanercept-treated PASI 75 responders were re-randomized to CZP 200 mg Q2W, CZP 400 mg Q4W, CZP 400 mg Q2W or placebo for maintenance treatment; PASI 75 non-responders entered an open-label escape CZP 400 mg Q2W arm. Patients entering the open-label extension (OLE; Weeks 48-144) from blinded treatment received CZP 200 mg Q2W.ResultsDouble-blinded results have been reported previously. 261 patients received 200 mg Q2W upon OLE entry. PASI 75 response was maintained in patients continuing 200 mg Q2W treatment through Weeks 16-144 (Week 144: 96.2%). In patients dosed down at Week 48 (double-blinded 400 mg to 200 mg Q2W), PASI 75 decreased (Week 48: 98.7%; Week 144: 85.9%). In patients who received placebo through Weeks 16-48, PASI 75 response decreased (Week 48: 60.4%), then increased following Week 48 switch to 200 mg Q2W (Week 144: 95.1%). 48 and 36 patients initially randomized to 200 and 400 mg Q2W, respectively, were Week 16 PASI 75 non-responders and entered the escape arm; at Week 144, 71.8% and 78.2% achieved PASI 75. No new safety signals were identified.ConclusionsResponse to CZP was durable over three years; no new safety signals were identified.

Standardized evaluation of treatment benefits in rosacea based on patient preferences is still lacking.Objective: Development and validation of an instrument for recording patient-defined benefits in rosacea therapy based on the Patient Benefit Index (PBI) methodology.Patients and Methods: In an open survey of n = 50 patients, potential benefits of therapy from the patient’s perspective were examined. The generated item pool was combined with pre-existing PBI items for other skin conditions and reviewed by an expert panel of dermatologists, psychologists and patients. Items were condensed to n = 25 and converted into a Likert-scaled questionnaire. The validity and feasibility of the resulting Patient Benefit Index for rosacea (PBI-RO) were tested on individuals with rosacea recruited from a German rosacea patient organization.Results: N = 446 patients with rosacea completed the PBI-RO. The internal consistencies measured by Cronbach’s alpha were high (Patient Needs Questionnaire [PNQ] 0.94). Mean PBI-RO was 1.9 ± 1.2 (scale from 0 = no benefit to 4 = maximum benefit), 23.5% of the patients experienced a PBI-RO < 1 (no clinically relevant benefit). The PBI-RO correlated with HRQoL, health state, current extent of rosacea lesions and treatment satisfaction. The highest correlation was found between PBI-RO and satisfaction with previous treatment (r = − 0.59, p < 0.001); correlation with the extent of rosacea lesions was low (r = 0.16, p < 0.001).Conclusion: The PBI-RO shows satisfying internal consistency and construct validity. It offers the option of a patient-weighted evaluation of the therapeutic benefit of rosacea therapy and may add to more stringent goal orientation in therapy.Keywords: patient needs, treatment goals, disease burden, health-related quality of life, Patient Benefit Index, rosacea

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is the only causal treatment available so far. Due to health policy provisions, the assessment of treatment benefit from the patient’s perspective is of high relevance. To date, no instrument for assessing treatment needs and benefits of patients with ARC who receive AIT has been published. The aim of the study was to validate an instrument to assess the patient-relevant treatment benefit of patients with ARC who receive AIT.Methods: We developed the Patient Benefit Index questionnaire for AIT (PBI-AIT), consisting of 33 items. Longitudinal data of patients with ARC were used to test feasibility, reliability and validity. The PBI was compared between the beginning of the study (t1) and the end of the study (t5).Results: N = 279 patients with AIT completed the PBI-AIT at t1, n = 333 at t5; n = 226 at both timepoints. Mean number of missing values per patient was 0.7 in the Patient Needs Questionnaire (PNQ) at t1 and 1.2 in the Patient Benefit Questionnaire (PBQ) at t5. The internal consistencies measured by Cronbach’s alpha were 0.98 (PNQ) and 0.99 (PBQ). The mean PBI of the patients with AIT was significantly lower at t1 and improved at t5. The PBI-AIT correlated with all tested external criteria at t5. The correlation between PBI-AIT and satisfaction with previous treatment (r = − 0.57, p < 0.001) was higher than the correlation between PBI-AIT and current disease severity (r = − 0.26, p < 0.001).Conclusion: The results indicate feasibility, reliability, convergent and discriminant validity as well as sensitivity to change of the PBI-AIT.Keywords: allergy treatment, immunotherapy and tolerance induction, patient reported outcome, prevention, quality of life

Abstract

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are interesting for understanding fundamental physics of two-dimensional materials (2D) as well as for many emerging technologies, including spin electronics. Here, we report the discovery of long-range magnetic order below TM = 40 K and 100 K in bulk semiconducting TMDs 2H-MoTe2 and 2H-MoSe2, respectively, by means of muon spin-rotation (muSR), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The muon spin rotation measurements show the presence of a large and homogeneous internal magnetic fields at low temperatures in both compounds indicative of long-range magnetic order. DFT calculations show that this magnetism is promoted by the presence of defects in the crystal. The STM measurements show that the vast majority of defects in these materials are metal vacancies and chalcogen-metal antisites which are randomly distributed in the lattice at the sub-percent level. DFT indicates that the antisite defects are magnetic with a magnetic moment in the range of 0.9-2.8 mu_B. Further, we find that the magnetic order stabilized in 2H-MoTe2 and 2H-MoSe2 is highly sensitive to hydrostatic pressure. These observations establish 2H-MoTe2 and 2H-MoSe2 as a new class of magnetic semiconductors and opens a path to studying the interplay of 2D physics and magnetism in these interesting semiconductors., Comment: 13 pages, 10 Figures

Abstract

The study published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology explores the association between comorbidities, itch intensity, and quality of life in patients with Chronic Nodular Prurigo (CNPG). The research involved 513 adult CNPG patients from 12 European countries and found that hypertension was significantly associated with itch intensity, while depression was significantly associated with impaired quality of life. The study suggests that conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis may impact itch perception, highlighting the need for further investigation into the pathophysiological significance of these associations.

Abstract

Background: Brodalumab, a fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin IgG2 antibody that binds the human interleukin 17 receptor subunit A, is available for the treatment of moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis in Europe since September 2017, but so far there are only a few studies on its use in real‐world conditions. Objectives: To assess the management of moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis with brodalumab 210 mg in daily practice after 12 and 52 weeks (W). In addition, patient profiles and treatment pathways are described. Methods: LIBERO is a prospective, multicenter, non‐interventional study including adult patients with plaque psoriasis treated with brodalumab 210 mg. Results: In total, 638 patients (65% male, mean age: 49.3 ± 14.4 years) from 148 sites in Germany were enrolled. The majority suffered from severe (51.1%) or very severe (13.1%) psoriasis according to physician global assessment (PGA0‐5). When starting with brodalumab, 58.5% were biologic naïve and 41.5% were previously treated with another biologic, mainly adalimumab (18.5%) and secukinumab (17.9%). About 74.0% of patients met the primary endpoint of an absolute PASI ≤3 at ~W12 (n = 618, LOCF). The mean PASI was reduced significantly as of ~W2 from 17.2 (±11.7) to 9.7 (±8.8) and improved further to 3.3 (±6.3) at ~W12 (p < 0.001). At ~W52 85.5% of patients reached a PGA0/1‐response (primary endpoint) and 54.1% patients were assessed as completely clear (PGA0) (both n = 399, as observed). Effectiveness of brodalumab was confirmed in relevant subgroup analysis by previous treatment regimen. Most frequently reported adverse events were nasopharyngitis (4.6%), psoriasis (4.6%) and arthralgia (4.1%), new safety signals were not detected. Conclusions: This representative, non‐interventional study confirms the short‐ and long‐term effectiveness and safety profile of brodalumab in the management of psoriasis in daily practice as well as in relevant treatment pathways.

Abstract

Starting from the well known stable free radical DPPH (or its reduced counterpart, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazine) and several amino derivatives, novel zwitterionic compounds (diazenium betaines) were obtained and characterized by different means, like NMR, IR, MS, and UV–Vis. These betaines are highly intense blue-colored compounds that can be easily reduced by ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or sodium ascorbate to their corresponding para-phenyl substituted derivatives of DPPH, which have a yellow color. Most of such redox processes were found to be reversible. However, the oxidation of 2-p-aminophenyl-2-phenyl-1-picryl-hydrazine led to an azo-derivative of DPPH diradical, and its structure was unveiled by X-ray monocrystal diffraction. Possible diradicaloid behavior is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Bromination of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical with bromine or N-bromo-succinimide (NBS) affords a complex mixture of bromo- and nitro-derivatives of the starting material. In this study, by chromatographic separation, most of the reaction products were isolated. Suitable crystals for X-ray measurements were obtained and characterized for the compounds 2-p-bromophenyl-2-phenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical (Br-DPPH), 2-p-bromophenyl-2-phenyl-1-picrylhydrazine (Br-DPPH-H), and 2,2-(p-bromophenyl)-1-(2-bromo-4,6-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine (Br2-DPPBr-H).

Abstract

Background: Patients with inherited ichthyosis suffer from scaling due to mutations affecting the epidermal barrier. Symptomatic treatment with ointments, bathing and mechanical scale removal can alleviate the disease, but therapy is time and cost intensive. Objectives: We investigated costs, time and disease burden of ichthyoses. The study addresses difficulties of the healthcare situation for patients with ichthyoses and reveals potential improvements. Materials and Methods: We developed a questionnaire addressing time and financial effort for the treatment. Additionally, we collected data of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and the Pruritus Life Quality (5PLQ) questionnaires to determine the impact of ichthyosis and associated pruritus on quality of life (QoL). Results: We recruited 144 patients with ichthyosis (median age: 23; 53.5% female) from the Department of Dermatology in Muenster (Germany) and the German patient support group including common, rare and syndromic subtypes. Eighty‐seven percent reported applying topical therapeutics at least once per day, 66.4% several times with an overall median duration of 15 min. Highest single expenditure of time was due to balneotherapy (n = 115; median bathing time: 40 min). In 81.9%, the health insurance did not completely cover the costs for topical treatment causing additional financial burden to the patient with a median of 71 € per quarter, herein creams being the largest cost factor (50 €). Patients with Netherton syndrome showed the highest median expenditure (170 €). The QoL impairment under treatment was moderate (median DLQI: 8.5 points). Pruritus was prevalent in 79.9% and showed a distinct impact on QoL (median 5PLQ: 7.5 points) without any significant difference between the subtypes (p = 0.37). Conclusion: Patients suffering from ichthyoses have a large and lifelong overall burden in mild and severe subtypes. Since continuous topical treatment is required, financial and psychosocial support needs to be considered beyond dermatological care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Chalcones are α,β-unsaturated ketones with great structural diversity and various applications. A chalcone produced by condensation of 2-acetylpyridine with 2-naphthaldehyde (L) was employed for synthesis of two mononuclear complexes: [Eu(L)(hfac)3(H2O)]·0.5CHCl3 and [Tb(L)(hfac)3], where hfac is the hexafluoroacetylacetonate anion. The chalcone and complexes were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The chalcone acts as a chelating bidentate ligand. Luminescent properties of the ligand L and the complexes were investigated in the solid state. For these heteroleptic mononuclear complexes, the emission of the Eu(III) and Tb(III) ions was influenced by the excitation wavelength.

In the absence of a direct head-to-head comparison, the relative efficacy of brodalumab and guselkumab in non-responders to ustekinumab were compared using a matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC).Patients and Methods: Individual patient data for brodalumab (n = 121) were pooled from the AMAGINE-2 and -3 trials and adjusted using a propensity score reweighting method, so that baseline and week 16 characteristics matched the aggregate published data of patients with an inadequate response to ustekinumab who switched to guselkumab (n = 135) in the NAVIGATE trial.Results: After inadequate response to ustekinumab, brodalumab resulted in significantly higher psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) 90 rates versus guselkumab at post-treatment switch week 12 (62.7% vs 48.1%, relative difference 14.6% [95% confidence interval [CI] 5.3– 23.9], p = 0.002 [number needed to treat [NNT] = 6.8]) and week 36 (63.7% vs 51.1%; relative difference 12.6% [95% CI 4.1– 21.0]; p = 0.004 [NNT = 7.9]) and PASI 100 rate at week 36 (40.3% vs 20.0%; relative difference 20.3% [95% CI 11.8– 28.7]; p < 0.001 [NNT = 4.9]).Conclusion: In this MAIC, brodalumab was associated with greater improvements than guselkumab in inadequate responders to ustekinumab. Switching to brodalumab in such patients may be a more effective strategy than switching to guselkumab.Keywords: brodalumab, guselkumab, psoriasis

The aim of our study was to characterise the epidemiology and comorbidity of acne vulgaris in working adults in Germany.Patients and Methods: Within the framework of a cross-sectional study, a total of 161,269 employees underwent dermatological whole-body examinations in more than 500 German companies between 2001 and 2016. Point prevalence rates for acne vulgaris and further skin diseases and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated and differences between participants with and without acne vulgaris were tested with chi-squared tests.Results: Mean age was 43.2 years ± 10.9, 55.5% were male. In total, n = 5311 people (3.3%) with acne vulgaris were identified. Prevalence decreased by age. Controlling for age and gender, acne was significantly associated with folliculitis (OR = 1.91; CI: 1.76– 2.07), contact dermatitis (OR = 1.74; CI: 1.08– 2.81), rosacea (OR = 1.74; CI: 1.40– 2.15), pyoderma (OR = 1.58; 1.22– 2.06), seborrheic dermatitis (OR = 1.47; CI: 1.27– 1.71), hand eczema (OR = 1.34; CI: 1.00– 1.76), verruca vulgaris plantaris (OR = 1.29; CI: 1.09– 1.51), tinea pedis (OR = 1.27; CI: 1.10– 1.47), spider veins (OR = 1.26; CI: 1.16– 1.38) and telangiectasia (OR = 1.15; CI: 1.02– 1.30).Conclusion: These data underline the importance of acne vulgaris in the adult population. Further studies to better understand the pathophysiology of AV and its comorbidity in different phases of adulthood would be desirable to develop appropriate guidelines and therapy concepts.Keywords: acne vulgaris, comorbidities, epidemiology, inflammation

Data were collected from 2006 to 2015. Descriptive data analysis was done to determine CVD and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) prevalence and occurrence of potential risk factors. Chi-squared tests were performed to estimate the influence of risk factors on the prevalence of CVD.Results: In total, 19,104 employees from different branches were included. The majority of the examined people were doing office work (n = 8157; 80.2%). A total of 4038 persons (21.1%) show at least one sign of CVD. At least one sign of CVI could be found in 679 persons (3.6%). Being female was found to be protective with an odds ratio of 0.66 (95% CI 0.59– 0.73).Conclusion: There is clear indication for active venous treatment in 22.3% of the adult working population in Germany.Keywords: venous insufficiency, epidemiology, prevalence

Little is known about the prevalence of seborrhea and the frequency of concurrent skin diseases in the general population.Objective: To investigate the epidemiology and comorbidity of seborrhea in the adolescent and adult working population.Methods: In large-scale examinations by dermatologists in 343 German companies, the seborrheic skin type and the occurrence of skin findings were documented electronically. Odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of further skin diseases were computed. Logistic regression analyses were conducted for each disease using seborrhea as dependent variable.Results: A total of 48,630 employees were examined. About 6.0% showed seborrhea (6.6% in men, 5.4% in women). Seborrhea strongly predicted acne (OR 3.59; CI 3.18– 4.05), trichilemmal cysts (OR 1.99; CI 1.25– 3.18) and rosacea (OR 1.45; CI 1.17– 1.81). Regression analyses controlling for age, gender and phototype confirmed significant associations of seborrhea with acne and rosacea.Conclusion: Only a minor proportion of the working population shows meaningful seborrheic skin. However, this condition predicts distinct skin diseases and thus needs attention, in particular, with respect to consulting and secondary prevention.Keywords: seborrhea, seborrheic skin, epidemiology, comorbidities

For the interpretation of HRQoL scores, it is additionally important to know which differences in scores are considered meaningful. The minimal important difference (MID) is defined as a change in HRQoL that a patient would consider meaningful, such that the patient would judge a treatment to be beneficial and worthy of repeating.Objective: To interpret changes in the Wound-QoL scores and draw conclusions regarding the relevance of detected changes; the purpose of this study was to estimate the MID of the Wound-QoL global score and its subscales for patients with chronic wounds.Patients and Methods: Patients completed the Wound-QoL before and four to six weeks after treatment and additionally gave a global rating of wound status change after treatment. The global rating of change served as an anchor question. MIDs were calculated based on an anchor-based and a distribution-based method.Results: In total, 227 patients participated in the study. The mean age of the study population was 66.9 (± 12.7) median was 69.5, and 51.5% of the patients were female. MIDs for the Wound-QoL global score ranged from 0.47 to 0.52, proposing an overall estimation of 0.50.Conclusion: The results can be used to measure and interpret changes in wound-specific QoL over time.Keywords: MID, minimal important difference, health-related quality of life, chronic wounds

Abstract

Abstract Background Urolithiasis is increasingly diagnosed worldwide. Stone analysis is an important part in the assessment of patients with urolithiasis. However, in sub-Saharan Africa, data on the composition of urinary stones are limited. This study aimed to describe the composition and sites of urinary stones and to investigate relationship between socio-demographic characteristics, clinical profile of patients, and the composition of urinary stones. Methods A retrospective analysis of 132 patients with urolithiasis who visited one of the seven hospitals in the Democratic Republic of Congo during eight years of study period (January 2010 to January 2018) was conducted. Stones were analyzed by infrared spectrophotometry. Results Most of stones analyzed (n = 82, 62.1%) originated from the upper urinary tract with a difference across gender (58.5% males vs. 41.5% females, p = 0.001). Only three stones (two from whewellite and one from anhydrous uric acid) were considered pure (2.3%), excluding the protein frame (less than 5%). Whewellite, proteins, and carbapatite were identified in 97.7%, 96.2%, and 80.3% of the stones analyzed, respectively; and in 91.7%, 89.4%, and 67.7% of the nuclei of the stones analyzed, respectively. Taking into account the proportion of each constituent in the stones analyzed, whewellite (68.9%), anhydrous uric acid (10.6%), and carbapatite (8.3%) were the main constituents in respectively 68, 9%, 10.6%, and 8.3% of the stones analyzed. Conclusion Whewellite, anhydrous uric acid, and carbapatite represented the most frequent main components of stones identified, suggesting that dietary hyperoxaluria could be an important factor in lithogenesis in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Prevalence rates, the severity of disease, comorbidities and pharmaceutical supply were analyzed. Insured persons with AD were identified with at least one outpatient or inpatient International Classification Code of Diseases (L20).Results: In 2019, 4.21% [95% CI 4.21− 4.22%] of insured persons had AD (3.6 million). Women were affected slightly more frequently than men (4.74% [95% CI 4.73− 4.74%] and 3.64% [95% CI 3.64− 3.65%]). Adolescents and children under the age of 15 had the highest prevalence of AD compared to other age groups (9.44% [95% CI 9.42− 9.46%]). Majority of the insured persons with AD were affected by a mild to moderate form of the disease. The most common co-morbidity was infections of the skin (RR 5.00 [95% CI 4.97− 5.02%]). Some patients were treated by a dermatologist, while others by a general practitioner, 39.10% and 36.74%, respectively. Of the anti-inflammatory drugs, systemic glucocorticosteroids preparations were used most frequently and were most frequently prescribed by the general practitioner. With a total of 42,841 prescriptions (1.53%), methotrexate (third-line treatment option) was prescribed more frequently than ciclosporin with 19,628 prescriptions (0.70%) or azathioprine with 25,696 prescriptions (0.92%). Ciclosporin (first-line treatment option) was prescribed much more frequently by a dermatologist (44.00% versus 14.32% by general practitioner). The biological dupilumab was prescribed 30,801 times (1,10%) and was also primarily prescribed by a dermatologist (66.67%).Conclusion: The present results reveal that a specialist treats approximately one-third of the patients with AD and that there is still a drug undersupply in some cases, especially concerning innovative drugs.Keywords: epidemiology, frequency of illness, pharmaceutical supply, neurodermatitis, statutory health insurance

Abstract

BackgroundContinuous treatment is recommended for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis; however, treatment may need to be interrupted in routine clinical practice.ObjectiveTo assess outcomes in patients continuously treated with ixekizumab versus those who interrupted therapy and were subsequently retreated with ixekizumab (IXE).MethodsThis analysis used data pooled from two phase 3 trials, UNCOVER-1 and UNCOVER-2. Patients were randomized to placebo (PBO), IXE every 4 (Q4W) or IXE every 2 weeks (Q2W) for 12 weeks. Patients with a static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) 0, 1 at Week 12 were rerandomized to IXEQ4W, IXE every 12 weeks (not presented) or PBO. We examined outcomes in patients who were continuously treated (IXEQ2W/IXEQ4W; IXEQ4W/IXEQ4W) or withdrawn (IXEQ2W/PBO; IXEQ4W/PBO), and in patients who were withdrawn and retreated with IXEQ4W for 24 weeks after disease relapse (sPGA ≥3).ResultsA total of 1226 treated patients achieved an sPGA 0, 1 at Week 12 and entered the maintenance phase; of these patients, 402 and 416 were rerandomized to PBO and IXEQ4W, respectively. Among patients interrupting treatment, 157 (82.2%) of IXEQ4W/PBO and 176 (83.4%) of IXEQ2W/PBO had an sPGA ≥3 by Week 60; median time to relapse was approximately 20 weeks irrespective of induction dose. At Week 60, continuously treated patients maintained high levels of PASI and sPGA responses (90.0% PASI 75 IXEQ2W/IXEQ4W; 81.9% sPGA 0, 1 IXEQ2W/IXEQ4W, non-responder imputation). After 24 weeks of retreatment with IXEQ4W (IXEQ2W/PBO/IXEQ4W and IXEQ4W/PBO/IXEQ4W), 87.0% (107 of 123) and 95.1% (97 of 102) (observed), respectively, of patients recaptured PASI 75 and 70.7% (104 of 147) and 82.3% (107 of 130) (observed) recaptured an sPGA 0, 1. Overall, adverse events in continuously treated and retreated patients were comparable.ConclusionHigh levels of response were sustained with continuous ixekizumab treatment through 60 weeks. Most patients who were withdrawn experienced disease relapse, and most of those patients recaptured response after 24 weeks of retreatment.
