Details and patient eligibility

About

Dermatoporosis is a chronic syndrome of skin insufficiency or fragility. It is characterized by cutaneous atrophy, senile purpura and stellate pseudoscars. Dermatoporosis prevalence is 37% in ≥65 years.

The objective was to determine factors associated with this diagnosis in >60 years old patients of the outpatient clinic in the Hospital Central "Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto " San Luis Potosí, México.

An observational, cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study was performed. Patients >60 years old were selected. A clinical history, clinical examination, and application of a validated diagnostic self-questionnaire were performed.

Full description

Dermatoporosis is a chronic syndrome of skin insufficiency or fragility. It is characterized by cutaneous atrophy, senile purpura and stellate pseudoscars. Dermatoporosis prevalence is 37% in ≥65 years.The objective was to determine factors associated with this diagnosis in >60 years old patients of the outpatient clinic in the Hospital Central "Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto " San Luis Potosí, México.

An observational, cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was performed. Through consecutive non-probabilistic sampling, patients > 60 years old were selected, who underwent a clinical history, clinical examination, and the application of a validated diagnostic self-questionnaire. To determine the association of the factors, a multivariate logistic regression analysis, it will be used the PRIMERv6 software with the PERMANOVA package. A p <0.05 was considered significant. The normality of the distribution of the continuous variables was evaluated with the Shapiro Wilk test. The Student's t test was performed on variables that met the homogeneity of variance requirements. In the variables that did not meet this criterion, a non-parametric analysis was performed with the Mann U Whitney test. For the analysis of categorical variables, Fisher's exact test or chi-square test was used. Continuous variables were reported by mean (median) [Q1, Q3] (min - max) and by standard deviations as their distribution corresponds. Nominal categorical variables were expressed as frequencies
