Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To explore the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in psoriasis inpatients in Peking Union Medical Hospital.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of the psoriasis patients admitted in the dermatological ward of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1st, 2003, to December 31st, 2008, and the height, weight, blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein levels were recorded.
RESULTS: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome of the psoriasis inpatients of Peking Union Medical College Hospital was 38.1%, with that of the male patients (43.1%) significantly higher than the female (25.0%, P0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in psoriasis patients is higher than healthy adults. Screening and patient education are important for these patients in clinical practice.
