Characterizing high-burden rosacea subjects: a multivariate risk factor analysis from a global survey

Abstract

Objective: To characterize rosacea features suitable for identification of high-burden (HB) subjects in clinical practice. Design: Global online survey with subjects recruited using an online panel from the United States, Canada, Italy, United Kingdom, Germany and France. Subjects self-reported a physician's diagnosis of rosacea. Measurements: HB subjects were defined as those with !3/4 domains (quality of life, lifestyle adaptation, time trade-off, willingness to pay) greater than the median. Group characteristics were analyzed and multivariate-logistic modeling used to investigate factors most associated with HB. Results: 710 subjects completed the survey, including 158 HB subjects. HB was observed in all selfdeclared rosacea severities. HB subjects were more likely to spend more time daily on skin care and experienced approximately double the impact of health problems on work productivity in the past 7 days (p < .01). In the past 12 months, HB subjects were more likely to have at least one visit to the emergency room (41.8% vs 11.2%; p < .01). In the multivariate risk analysis, factors most associated with HB included rosacea severity, impact of health problems on regular daily activities and age at first symptoms. Conclusion: Rosacea has a distinct subset of HB subjects who can be successfully characterized.

Willingness-to-Pay and Benefit–Cost Analysis of Botulinum Toxin for the Treatment of Rosacea in China: Findings from a Web-Based Survey

“…Based on our results, DLQI score is positively related to WTP with the highest OR value, which is consistent with previous studies on the relationship between WTP and QoL in rosacea. 27 , 28 In addition, patients with a long course of disease were less willing to pay the costs, consistent with the viewpoint that the longer the disease course of rosacea, the lesser the impairment of QoL. 27 In order to better manage patients and increase satisfaction, dermatologists should pay more attention to the complaint of the patients and notice the low QoL of the disease.…”

Efficacy and safety results of micellar water, cream and serum for rosacea in comparison to a control group

“…Rosacea leads to a reduced quality of life 7,22 . As this study merely included healthy patients with mild symptoms of rosacea, as opposed to inflammatory or phymatous lesions, baseline overall quality of life was relatively high.…”

“…Rosacea leads to a reduced quality of life. 7,22 As this study merely included healthy patients with mild symptoms of rosacea, as opposed to inflammatory or phymatous lesions, baseline overall quality of life was relatively high. However, due to the improved clinical appearance after treatment, patients´ quality of life increased significantly by 54.5% within the intervention group comparing V0-V2.…”

Estudio del impacto en la calidad de vida según características demográficas y clínicas en pacientes con rosácea

“…Lo cual coincide con nuestro resultado, donde los pacientes presentan una edad de 39.2 + 13.5 años, ligeramente más temprano que en la bibliografía. De los estudios revisados, la mayoría de los pacientes que participaron fueron de sexo femenino 6,7,11,12,16,[19][20][21] , lo cual coincide con nuestro trabajo. En cuanto a los fototipos solo fueron descriptos en dos estudios: en el estudio de Aksoy et al16 donde los más frecuentemente reportados fueron los fototipos II y III coincidiendo con nuestros resultados; sin embargo, en el estudio realizado por Wu et al 16 fueron los fototipos III y IV.…”
