Abstract

Background: Several studies have assessed the effect of patient education regarding hand eczema (HE) severity and quality of life. Few studies, however, have evaluated patients’ knowledge. Objectives: To examine knowledge of skin protection in HE patients following a guided talk, and to identify variables associated with knowledge. Methods: HE patients referred to the outpatient dermatological clinic, Bispebjerg Hospital, between January 2013 and July 2014 were offered a guided talk on HE prevention. HE severity and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score were assessed. A questionnaire comprising 10 questions about skin protection was sent 1 to 2.5 years later. Results: One hundred and twenty patients responded to the questionnaire (response 53.5%). The mean percentage of correct answers was 74.7%. Sixty per cent responded correctly to at least eight questions. Male sex, older age and education for >5 years were associated with a low level of knowledge. Education for 3 to 4 years (P = 0.045) was associated with a higher level of knowledge. No significant impact of previous/current atopic dermatitis, HE severity or previous information on skin protection was found with respect to level of knowledge. Conclusions: Females and patients with education for 3 to 4 years showed the highest level of knowledge, whereas males, older patients and patients with education for >5 years should be brought more into focus in skin protection programmes.

Abstract

Background: Only a few clinical trials on hand eczema have included further classification into subtypes, and there is a need for studies evaluating the present classifications. Objectives: To examine differences in demographic factors, lifestyle factors and severity between subgroups of hand eczema patients, with a focus on hyperkeratotic hand eczema. Methods: This was a retrospective study including hand eczema patients referred to the outpatient dermatological clinic, Bispebjerg Hospital, between January 2013 and July 2014. The study comprises information on subdiagnoses, treatment and foot eczema from patient files, as well as a follow-up questionnaire. Results: A total of 120 patients were included, 10 of whom were diagnosed with hyperkeratotic hand eczema. A significantly higher proportion of the patients with hyperkeratotic hand eczema were male (p = 0.002) and received systemic or ultraviolet (UV) treatment (p = 0.026). The frequency of tobacco smoking was significantly higher in patients with hyperkeratotic hand eczema (p = 0.016), as well as in the other subgroups combined (p = 0.049), than in the background population. Conclusions: Studies evaluating the subdiagnoses of hand eczema are needed, to further validate the classification system, and to provide more detailed information about demographic factors, severity and possible risk factors for different subgroups of hand eczema.

Abstract

Summary: Background: While studies report a lower incidence of skin cancer in white patients with vitiligo compared with controls, the skin cancer incidence in Asian patients with vitiligo is unknown. Objectives: To quantify the incidence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in Korean patients with vitiligo and compare it with matched nonvitiligo controls. Methods: A retrospective matched cohort study was performed with 131 245 incident vitiligo cases and 2 624 900 age‐ and sex‐matched (1 : 20) controls at index date, who were selected from the Korean National Health Insurance database between January 2005 and December 2017. Stratified Cox proportional hazards regression (stratified by sex, birth year and index year) was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) of skin cancer in patients with vitiligo. Results: Patients with vitiligo were followed up for a mean duration of 6·34 years compared with a follow‐up period of 6·27 years for matched controls. Ultraviolet (UV) treatment‐adjusted HR for melanoma in patients with vitiligo was 3·32 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2·29–4·81] and 1·29 (95% CI 1·06–1·56) for NMSC. The HRs for melanoma and NMSC in the vitiligo population without a history of UV treatment were 3·37 (95% CI 2·32–4·90) and 1·35 (95% CI 1·11–1·64), respectively. Conclusions: In contrast to white patients with vitiligo, the risk of skin cancer was increased in the Korean vitiligo population. However, it is noteworthy that the skin cancer incidence in Korean patients with vitiligo was lower than that of their white counterparts. Owing to possible ethnic differences in the susceptibility to skin cancer, skin cancer surveillance in the vitiligo population may be adjusted for race. What's already known about this topic? Prior studies have reported a lower incidence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in white patients with vitiligo compared with nonvitiligo controls.The skin cancer incidence in Asian patients with vitiligo is unknown. What does this study add? In contrast to white patients, the risk of both melanoma and NMSC was increased in Korean patients with vitiligo compared with controls.Owing to possible ethnic differences in susceptibility to skin cancer, skin cancer surveillance in the vitiligo population should be adjusted for race.

135. A Comparative Analysis of Diversity Initiatives: Administrative Policies & Academic Curriculum

Author

Kim, K.B. Jenny and Kim, K.B. Jenny

Abstract

The object of my thesis research is to examine the existing diversity initiatives and campus climate of Chapman University and a comparative institution, Loyola Marymount University. The focus area of study will be racial/ethnic diversity within the various levels of the institution, with the primary focus on students and institutional support. The topic by nature is nuanced and complex, with interwoven layers of hierarchy and various scopes of campus climate including but not limited to: academic curriculum, co-curricular programs, availability of human resources in related expertise, and general accessibility of resources pertaining to diversity. The main objective is to examine the availability and accessibility of resources pertaining to diversity to the student body at these two institutions of higher education and utilize the observational and qualitative research to guide future endeavors at Chapman University; to create a sense of urgency to improve our existing diversity initiatives to better reflect the mission statement and values of our community by utilizing the voices of current students and those in our surrounding competitive circle. Using the concepts and sociological theory of critical race theory, racialization of space and place, and diversity in higher education, the various methods of evaluation will bring to fruition the comparative analysis of Chapman and LMU and their existing diversity initiatives and resulting campus climate. By utilizing the real voices of students at both institutions as the basis of sociocultural lived experiences, this research aims to better understand the challenges Chapman faces moving forward to a more inclusive and accepting environment.
