Quality of life in children with skin disease: A Spanish sample.

Introduction: The impact of skin diseases on quality of life varies widely, and some can have an impact similar to that of asthma or cystic fibrosis.

Material And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study with the aim of describing the degree to which quality of life was affected in paediatric patients managed in a dermatology clinic by means of the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI).

Results: In our study, the skin disease with the greatest impact on quality of life was atopic dermatitis, chiefly on account of symptoms like pruritus and insomnia.

Bariatric surgery on social media: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Bariatric Surgery (BS) represents a viable option for the treatment of obesity and its risks. Nevertheless, it is still being underused by the eligible patient population because of the general lack of information, false beliefs, and the stigmatization of obesity. Social media seems to be a solution for overcoming this problem.

Influence of COVID-19 confinement on the size of malignant skin tumours surgically removed at a Spanish hospital.

The COVID-19 pandemic required people to confine themselves to their homes where possible, and disrupted normal hospital activities. We examine whether this lockdown generated changes in the size of the tumours. We compared the dimensions of the surgically removed malignant skin tumours from the first 150 patients treated after the confinement ended in Spain (22 May 2020) with those of the last 150 patients to receive such treatment before the confinement began (13 March 2020).

Development of a Prediction Model for Patients at Risk of Incidental Skin Cancer: A Multicentre Prospective Study.

In the absence of guidelines recommending routine total-body skin examination, patient concern remains the main factor in seeking consultation regarding suspicion of skin cancer. This study explores gaps in patients' understanding of malignant skin lesions, through the factors associated with incidental skin cancer. Included patients had a confirmed histological diagnosis of basal cell carci-noma, squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma.

[Cross-cultural adaptation and Spanish validation of Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire in dermatology (PSQ-18)].

Background And Objective: Patient satisfaction has become one of the most important outcome measures of quality of care. This study aimed to present the translation, cultural adaptation and validation of a Spanish version of the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18) in a sample of Spanish dermatology patients.

Methods: Cross-cultural linguistic adaptation and translation-backtranslation processes were performed following accepted international guidelines.

Factors associated with high Altmetric Attention Score in dermatology research.

Background: Alternative metrics are emerging scores to assess the impact of research beyond the academic environment.

Objective: To analyse whether a correlation exists between manuscript characteristics and alternative citation metrics.

Materials And Methods: This bibliometric analysis included original articles published in the five journals with the highest impact factors during 2019.

"Fake news" in dermatology. Results from an observational, cross-sectional study.

Background: Social networks have become a means for disseminating information on health-related matters.

Objective: Describe the characteristics and analyze the accuracy of the dermatology content that is most often shared on the most popular social networks.

Materials And Methods: The content most often shared on social networks (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Reddit) between March 2019 and March 2020 was analyzed using the keywords: acne, alopecia/hair loss, psoriasis, eczema, melanoma, skin cancer, rash, and rosacea.

Social Networks and Atopic Dermatitis: Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study.

Background: Social networks have become key tools for finding and disseminating medical information.

Objective: To describe the characteristics of social network postings on atopic dermatitis, the content that is posted, and the number of followers of pages, groups, or accounts.

Material And Methods: We selected pages, groups, or accounts related to atopic dermatitis on Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin during January and February of 2020.

0.5% 5-Fluorouracil/10% Salicylic Acid for the Treatment of Distal Actinic Keratoses Under Daily Practice Conditions.

Background: Actinic keratosis (AKs) are sun-induced skin lesions that are at risk to progress to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Treatments have shown to be effective on face or balding scalp area but limited data support their efficacy on distal extremities. Objective: To describe the efficacy of 0.

Assessment of sun-related behaviour, knowledge and attitudes among nursing students.

Background: As future healthcare professionals, nursing students will play an important role in social training and promoting healthy behaviours including protection against sunlight. However, few studies to date have focused on their knowledge and attitudes regarding sun-related behaviour.

Objective: To evaluate the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices about sun protection and skin cancer among nursing students.
