Dermatologic conditions and risk factors in people experiencing homelessness (PEH): systematic review
Tóm tắt
Limited data is present that characterizes dermatological conditions and their risk factors in people experiencing homelessness (PEH).We conducted a systematic review to investigate the types of dermatological conditions in PEH, their risk factors, and provide solutions when providing dermatological care to this patient population. We searched PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane for articles written in English from 2012 to 2022. The last search was performed on December 27, 2022. Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. Fifty-eight percent of the studies took place in the USA (n = 7) and 42% of studies took place in Canada (n = 5). Prevalent dermatological conditions included, skin cancer, cutaneous manifestations of malnutrition, cutaneous diphtheria, Group A Streptococcus infection (iGAS), lice, atopic dermatitis, acne, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and Staphylococcus aureus infections. Risk factors included substance use disorder, skin trauma, not having access to sunscreen or hats, unstable housing, higher exposure to extreme weather, and higher mobility. Due to studies being conducted in the USA or Canada, results may not be generalizable. This systematic review strongly suggests that many dermatological conditions prevalent in PEH can be contributed to poor skin integrity. Better measures can significantly reduce certain dermatological conditions by improving access to dermatological care.
