Association of Metabolic Comorbidities with Pediatric Psoriasis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An evident relationship has been shown between psoriasis and metabolic comorbidities. However, the results in pediatric psoriasis vary from study to study, and no meta-analysis exists on the association of metabolic comorbidities with pediatric psoriasis.

Objective

To evaluate the association between psoriasis and metabolic comorbidities in pediatric patients.

Methods

We searched articles published in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to April 30, 2019. All observational studies reporting the prevalence of obesity or metabolic comorbidities in pediatric patients with psoriasis were included.

Results

The meta-analysis included 16 unique studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The pooled odds ratios in pediatric patients with psoriasis was 2.40 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.60~3.59) for obesity (13 studies), 2.73 (95% CI, 1.79~4.17) for hypertension (8 studies), 2.01 (95% CI, 1.09~3.73) for diabetes mellitus (8 studies), 1.67 (95% CI, 1.42~1.97) for dyslipidemia (7 studies), and 7.49 (95% CI, 1.86~30.07) for metabolic syndrome (4 studies).

Conclusion

Pediatric patients with psoriasis showed a significantly higher prevalence of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. Adequate monitoring and timely management of metabolic comorbidities should be considered in these patients.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough muscle strength has been reported to be associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS), the association is still controversial. Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to identify the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and MetS.MethodsOriginal research studies involving HGS and MetS from database inception to 20 May 2022 were selected from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang databases, and Chinese Biomedical Document Service System. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of MetS for HGS were calculated using a random-effects model. A dose-response analysis was performed. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were also conducted.ResultsThirty effect sizes (reported in 19 articles) with a total of 43,396 participants were included in this meta-analysis. All studies were considered to be of moderate-to-good quality. An inverse association between HGS (low vs. high) with MetS was shown (OR: 2.59, 95% CI: 2.06-3.25). Subgroup analyses demonstrated the pooled ORs of relative HGS (HGS/weight), relative HGS (HGS/BMI), and absolute HGS were 2.97 (95% CI: 2.37-3.71), 2.47 (95% CI: 1.08-5.63), and 1.34 (95% CI: 1.06-1.68), respectively. Dose-response analysis revealed a significant linear dose-response relationship between relative HGS (HGS/weight) and MetS in observational studies (0.1 HGS/weight: OR, 0.68; 95% CI: 0.62-0.75). Univariate meta-regression analysis indicated that country status, measuring tools of HGS, components of MetS, and diagnosed criteria of MetS explained 16.7%, 26.2%, 30.1%, and 42.3% of the tau-squared in the meta-regression, respectively.ConclusionThe results of the current meta-analysis indicated that lower HGS is associated with a higher risk of MetS. A linear dose-response association between lower relative HGS (HGS/weight) and increased prevalence of MetS was found. Accordingly, a lower HGS is a significant predictor of MetS.Systematic review registration[https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/], identifier [CRD42021276730].
