Abstract
Background: Psoriasis (PsO), Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and Atopic dermatitis (AD) patients havean increased risk of sleep disorders. Although sleep disturbances are well-known among patients,caregivers’ oneiric evaluation remains poorly assessed. The objective was to quantify the sleep burdenof parents with affected children.Methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional study, we enrolled sex-age matched parents with childrenaffected by PsO, PsA, and AD. Both parents underwent the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to determinetheir sleep quality.Results: We enrolled a total of 90 children (age 12.36±1.83 years, 45 male and 45 female) withpsoriasis (n=30, PASI 7.00±2.49), atopic dermatitis (n=30, SCORAD 33.13±10.03), and psoriaticarthritis (n=30, DAPSA 26.40±10.94).
