  • Patch test outcomes can be affected by age, but there are mixed findings on how age impacts these results.
  • The study involved over 13,000 patients and revealed that middle-aged adults (31-65 years) had the highest rates of positive skin sensitisation results, particularly for certain substances like nickel and potassium dichromate.
  • Overall, while age does influence some patch test results, most allergens showed consistent reactivity across ages, underscoring the importance of standard testing regardless of age.

Background: Reports of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to phytonadione epoxide (PE) in cosmetics suggest that PE is as powerful a sensitiser as its parent compound phytonadione.

Objective: To evaluate a case series of ACD to PE in Spain.

Methods: We reviewed the records of 20 patients with ACD to cosmetics containing PE diagnosed across Spain between January 2019 and June 2023.

Introduction: As research continues, new drugs will no doubt be added to the current pool of treatments for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). This raises the need for studies to determine prescriber preferences for different pharmacological options and the factors that influence their choice of treatment. Here we aim to explore physician preferences in the systemic treatment of moderate-to-severe AD, identify the sociodemographic characteristics that can influence physician preferences, and evaluate their satisfaction with current AD therapies.

Background: Response to treatments in psoriasis can be assessed using the PASI response 50, 75, 90 or 100. Achieving a PASI 100 response would mean a complete resolution of the patient's basal lesions. Therefore, PASI 100 score has been increasingly used in the context of research, but its role in daily practice is currently controversial.
