Özet
Background and Design: This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with psoriasis.
Materials and Methods:This study included a total of 277 patients with psoriasis who applied to our clinic between December 2018 and
February 2020. All patient parameters such as age, sex, height, weight, marital status, age at disease onset, triggering factors, joint and nail
involvement, systemic disease history, alcohol and smoking history, family history, and topical and systemic treatments received were recorded
prospectively. Statistical analysis was conducted using the SPSS version 24.
Results: The mean age of the 277 patients aged 8-81 years was 37.1±15.9 years. In this study, 125 (45.1%) patients were female and 152
(54.9%) were male, and 11.2% of the patients were <18 years old. Ten of the patients with pediatric psoriasis were male and 21 were female.
The mean age at disease onset was 21.0±14.1 in female patients and 25.3±14.4 in male patients. The most common clinical type was plaque
psoriasis. Family history was positive in 29.6% of the patients. Psoriatic arthritis occurred in 9% of the patients, and the most common type was
an asymmetric oligoarticular type. Although the nail involvement rate was 44%, stress was the most common triggering factor for psoriasis.
In addition, 17% of the patients had a comorbid disease. The most common comorbid disease was hypertension. The frequency of smoking
was 45.8%, and the frequency of alcohol use was 4.7%. Of the patients, 17.3% received only topical therapy; 1.1%, phototherapy; 37.5%,
conventional therapy; 42.2%, biological therapy; and 1.8%, conventional + biological therapy.
Conclusion: Our study data were similar to those of other studies examining the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with
psoriasis. We believe that conducting similar studies involving larger patient groups will contribute to disease diagnosis and treatment.
