■酒渣鼻的临床表现包括短暂性或持续性面部红斑,毛细血管扩张症,丘疹,还有脓疱.现有的评估工具主要评估面部区域以评估酒渣鼻的严重程度。然而,除了脸,毛细血管扩张症,红斑,和潮红可以发生在耳朵。这里,我们研究了耳垂和耳廓毛细血管的皮肤镜特征与酒渣鼻的类型和严重程度之间的相关性。
■经验丰富的皮肤科医生评估了临床类型,病史,严重程度,和面部红斑的分布模式。使用标准分级系统(SGS)评估酒渣鼻的临床严重程度,临床医生红斑评估(CEA),和研究者的全球评估(IGA)。进一步分析了临床类型和严重程度与耳垂和耳廓毛细血管的皮肤镜特征的关系。
■总共,145例酒渣鼻患者纳入本研究。我们发现SGS,CEA,和IGA与耳垂(分别为R=0.357、0.357和0.314)(p<0.001)和耳廓(分别为R=0.423、0.443和0.374)(p<0.001)的毛细血管的皮肤镜特征密切相关。然而,酒渣鼻的特征和类型之间没有显着相关性。
■耳垂和耳廓毛细血管的皮肤镜特征可用作酒渣鼻临床严重程度的指标,无论临床亚型。
UNASSIGNED: Clinical manifestations of rosacea include transient or persistent facial erythema, telangiectasia, papules, and pustules. The existing assessment tools primarily evaluate the facial area to assess the severity of rosacea. However, in addition to the face, telangiectasia, erythema, and flushing can occur in the ear. Here, we investigated the correlation between the dermoscopic characteristics of capillaries in the earlobe and auricle and the types and severity of rosacea.
UNASSIGNED: Experienced dermatologists evaluated the clinical type, medical history, severity, and distribution pattern of facial erythema. The clinical severity of rosacea was assessed using the standard grading system (SGS), clinician\'s erythema assessment (CEA), and investigator\'s global assessment (IGA). Relationships of the clinical types and severity with the dermoscopic characteristics of capillaries in the earlobe and auricle were further analyzed.
UNASSIGNED: In total, 145 patients with rosacea were enrolled in this study. We found that SGS, CEA, and IGA correlated well with the dermoscopic features of capillaries in the earlobe (R = 0.357, 0.357, and 0.314, respectively) (p < 0.001) and auricle (R = 0.423, 0.443, and 0.374, respectively) (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant correlation between the features and types of rosacea.
UNASSIGNED: The dermoscopic characteristics of capillaries in the earlobe and auricle can be used as indicators of the clinical severity of rosacea, regardless of the clinical subtype.
