Background: Eczematous dermatitis is a major cause of recalcitrant pruritic eruptions in older adults. Although some medications have been implicated, there are limited data demonstrating the utility of medication changes. Objective: To investigate the utility and possible harms of drug cessation trials (DCTs) in chronic eczematous eruptions in the aging (CEEA). Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study utilizing electronic health records of DCTs in adults older than 65 years with CEEA. Results: We identified 646 patients >65 years with new onset eczematous eruptions, 89 (14%) of whom had no identifiable etiology. In this cohort, 35 patients underwent a total of 40 DCTs. Although there was mention of improvement in 17.5% (7/40), all patients sought tertiary care for their persistent rash. Negative outcomes occurred in 45% (18/40), all of which were due to exacerbation of a comorbidity that the medication was prescribed to treat. Conclusion: Our experience suggests that patients with CEEA undergo DCTs that do not improve their dermatitis and can lead to dangerous worsening of underlying conditions. Further study of the etiology of CEEA is needed.

患有不明原因慢性湿疹性皮炎的老年人戒药试验的频率和效用:一项回顾性队列研究。

背景:湿疹性皮炎是老年人顽固性瘙痒性皮疹的主要原因。尽管涉及一些药物,但证明药物改变的效用的数据有限。目的:探讨戒药试验(DCT)在老年慢性湿疹皮疹(CEEA)中的效用和可能的危害。方法:这是一项回顾性队列研究,利用 65 岁以上患有 CEEA 的成年人的 DCT 电子健康记录。结果:我们确定了 646 名 65 岁以上新发湿疹患者,其中 89 名 (14%) 没有明确的病因。在该队列中,35 名患者总共接受了 40 次 DCT。尽管 17.5% (7/40) 的患者提到病情有所改善,但所有患者都因持续出现的皮疹而寻求三级护理。45% (18/40) 出现负面结果,所有这些都是由于处方药物治疗的合并症恶化所致。结论:我们的经验表明,CEEA 患者接受 DCT 并不能改善皮炎,反而可能导致潜在病情恶化。需要进一步研究 CEEA 的病因。
