Health-related Quality of Life Measurements in Patients with Actinic Keratosis: A Systematic Review

Zohra F. Ahmadzay, Mattias A.S. Henning, Gregor B.E. Jemec, Gabrielle R. Vinding

Actinic keratosis lesions can be painful, itchy, cosmetically concerning, and may cause anxiety about skin cancer. Thus, actinic keratosis can affect health-related quality of life. We reviewed 37 studies involving 9,326 patients with actinic keratosis that assessed their health-related quality of life using questionnaires. Nearly half of the included studies measured health-related quality of life before and after treatment. Most used tools developed for other conditions. Only one, the Actinic Keratosis Quality of Life questionnaire, was actinic keratosis-specific tool and used in 13 studies. Three studies identified subgroups with most affected health-related quality of life: females, younger patients, and those with comorbidities or prior skin cancer.

Can Foot Dermatophyte Infections Signal Future Diabetes Risk? Findings from a Register-based Study

Authors: Anne Sofie Frølunde, Jan Brink Valentin, Lise Kristensen, Pernille Kræmer Schachsen, Janus Laust Thomsen, Christian Vestergaard

Fungal infections of the feet and nails are common in general practice and often occur in people with type 2 diabetes. We asked whether such infections could be an early warning sign of undiagnosed diabetes. In a large Danish cohort, PCR-confirmed infections were not clearly linked to later diabetes overall. However, when we reduced likely misclassification (by excluding unexposed people who had used antifungal creams), the risk was modestly higher. These findings suggest that targeted diabetes assessment may be relevant in selected patients, rather than routine screening of everyone with a fungal infection.

Catastrophizing in Chronic Itch: Associations with Demographic, Clinical and Psychological Factors

Authors: Isabel Niemeyer, Pascale Salameh, Hanna H. Linß, Eva M. Grekowitz, Leonie S. Herzog, Martin Metz, Manuel P. Pereira

Catastrophizing is the tendency to evaluate one’s situation overly negative and is associated with worse disease outcomes. We investigated catastrophizing in patients with chronic itch of different origins and its relation with demographic, clinical and psychological factors. Catastrophizing was associated with higher average itch intensity and attention to itch, with patients with chronic prurigo showing a higher likelihood of catastrophizing. Patients with well-controlled disease displayed lower catastrophizing levels, while a negative association between catastrophizing and age was observed. Catastrophizing is a significant cognitive process in chronic diseases and is particularly associated with poorer outcomes in chronic itch patients.
