Kluger N, et al. - Outpatients who attended a consultation in the department of dermatology of Helsinki University Central Hospital were evaluated for dermatoporosis prevalence and risk factors. In this prospective observational study of 176 consecutive outpatients aged 60 years and older, dermatoporosis was evident in 30.7% of patients. Primarily the upper limbs presented with lesions; stage I was encountered most frequently. As per the multivariate analysis, dermatoporosis showed a significant association with ultrapotent topical corticosteroids, oral corticosteroids, concomitant corticosteroid therapy, anticoagulants, chronic renal failure, and age. The highest prevalence of dermatoporosis was noted among patients with bullous pemphigoid (64%). A dermatology consultation in Finland saw as frequent a dermatoporosis prevalence as that seen in France.
