Retrospective Analysis of Dermatological Diseases in Geriatric Patients During Dermatology Outpatient Department Visits.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: The elderly population is vulnerable to experience a great number of dermatological diseases thanks to the intrinsic and extrinsic process of aging. Objectives: The aim of this study is to retrospectively investigate the prevalence of dermatological diseases in geriatric patients, their distribution by age and gender, and to provide a reference for studies on aging and skin problems. Methods: In the present study, patients who reported to the dermatology outpatient clinic between January 1 2019, and January 1 2021, were evaluated retrospectively. As a result of examining the records of patients, 887 patients over the age of 65 who met the study protocol were included. Results: The three most common diseases in all geriatric patients were fungal infections, eczematous dermatitis, and pruritus. Fungal infections were frequent in males and the 65-74 age group. In the males, the more frequent were precancerous lesions and malignant neoplasms, whereas in the females it was urticaria and adverse drug reactions. In the logistic regression model, the risk of fungal infection in geriatric patients was increased by being male (odds ratio 1.55, P = 0.006) and being in the range of 65-74 years old (odds ratio 1.46, P = 0.025). Male patients were at significantly higher risk for precancerous and malignant lesions (OR:2.81 P < 0.001) and actinic keratosis (odds ratio 3.26, P < 0.001) in this disease group. Conclusions: Men are more vulnerable to life-threatening skin diseases. It is important to determine risk factors for individuals who are more sensitive to environmental factors in terms of increasing the quality of life and protection from diseases.
