The mental health burden in acne vulgaris and rosacea: an analysis of the US National Inpatient Sample.
Little is known about the mental health (MH) hospitalization among patients with acne and rosacea. The purpose of this study was to determine the MH disorders and cost burden associated with acne and rosacea. The investigators concluded that inpatients with acne or rosacea had increased odds of comorbid MH disorders. In particular, there was an increased number of hospital admissions secondary to a primary MH disorder with coexistent acne/rosacea. MH comorbidities were associated with considerable excess costs among inpatients with acne or rosacea.

Association of dermatomyositis with systemic and opportunistic infections in the United States.
This study examined whether dermatomyositis is associated with opportunistic and antibiotic-resistant infections. Data was analyzed from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2002 to 2012 with a cross-sectional representative 20% sample of all hospitalizations in the US. There was an association found with serious infections in adults and children, with more associated with adults. Infections were found in the skin, bone, joints, brain, heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal system. Predictors of infections included non-white race/ethnicity, insurance status, history of long-term corticosteroid usage, Cushing’s syndrome, diabetes and cancer. This in turn caused higher odds, costs, and inpatient mortality from these infections.

Association between climate, pollution and hospitalization for pemphigus in the USA.
The goal of this study was to determine whether the impact of ultraviolet exposure, climate factors and pollutants are associated with pemphigus exacerbation resulting in hospitalization. Data from the National Inpatient Sample was used. The findings indicate a significant statewide variation in the prevalence of hospitalization for pemphigus, with ‘hotspots’ in the southwest and northeast states. Higher rates of admission for pemphigus occurred during the summer and autumn months. All associations remained significant in multilevel regression models that controlled for age, sex and race/ethnicity, except for ultraviolet index, which was associated with pemphigus hospitalization only for Hispanic patients. The authors conclude that higher temperature, UV exposure. and small particle air pollution are associated with increased hospitalization for pemphigus, and that patients with pemphigus may benefit from avoidance of these potential environmental triggers.

Association of vitiligo with hospitalization for mental health disorders in US adults.
The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between vitiligo and mental-health hospitalizations in the US using data from the National Inpatient Sample. Prevalence of hospitalization for mental-health disorders, length of stay (LOS), and cost of care were examined for patients with vitiligo in comparison with those without vitiligo. Hospitalization for mental-health disorders occurred more commonly in those with vitiligo. Vitiligo patients who were hospitalized with any mental-health disorder had higher LOS as well as cost of inpatient care.

Atopic dermatitis and hospitalization for mental health disorders in the United States.
Investigators analyzed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2002 to 2012 to determine the incidence of mental health (MH) emergencies with atopic dermatitis (AD). Primary admission for MH disorders associated with AD is known for adults with mood disorders, schizophrenia and developmental disorders.
