- Abstract
Psoriasis, hidradenitis, and atopic dermatitis (AD) are associated with increased cardiometabolic comorbidities. Yet, little is known about screening rates for cardiometabolic comorbidities in patients with these disorders. The objective of this study is to determine rates and predictors of cardiovascular screening among patients with psoriasis, AD, and hidradenitis in the United States. Data from the 2006–2015 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey were analyzed, including 67,581 pediatric and 322,957 adult outpatient visits. Overall, blood pressure screening was performed less commonly in psoriasis (36.4% [31.0–42.2%]) and AD (41.9% [39.3–44.7%] of visits) compared to other visits (62.5% [61.5–63.6%]) (P < 0.0001). Cholesterol screening was performed more often (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval]) in psoriasis (1.82 [1.20–2.76], P = 0.005) but less often in hidradenitis (0.03 [0.00–0.23], P = 0.001) and AD (0.72 [0.55–0.94], P = 0.02). Obesity screening increased from 2006–2007 to 2014–2015 in AD (31.1% [25.8–36.4%]–44.5% [37.0–81.5%], P = 0.01), psoriasis (19.0% [9.4–28.6%] to 42.8% [30.5–73.3%], P = 0.01), and hidradenitis (28.6% [1.7–55.6%] to 74.2% [55.3–100.0%], P = 0.001), but screening for blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes did not. Screening rates for cardiometabolic comorbidities are suboptimal. Future interventions are needed to improve screening rates for cardiometabolic comorbidities.
