Background/Objectives: Dermatological complaints are commonly seen in the emergency department (ED) setting and may be attributed to infectious, inflammatory, allergic, hypersensitivity, or traumatic processes, yet few studies have been carried out in Saudi Arabia addressing this topic. This study, therefore, aimed to explore this issue by investigating the most common dermatology-related ED encounters in a large tertiary care center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and estimating the incidence of these encounters. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in the ED of King Abdulaziz Medical City, a tertiary care center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data included all patients with dermatology-related ED visits during the period of 2022–2023. Demographic information including, for example, age and sex was collected. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) was used for the classification of diagnoses. Results: A total of 11,443 patients were included in the study, with male patients making up the majority (54.9%). The mean age upon diagnosis was 22.4 ± 23.2 years. More than half of the patients (55.3%) were diagnosed during childhood (<18), while proportions of older ages declined gradually. Average monthly presentations ranged from 400 to 560. Rash and non-specific skin eruptions (16%), cellulitis (13.6%), and urticaria (12.2%) were the most frequent dermatological emergencies. Conclusions: This study examined the dermatological conditions commonly seen in the emergency department. The findings highlighted a range of dermatology diseases that are typically seen in the ED. Addressing these prevalent disorders in the future will enhance ER physicians’ understanding and management of such common dermatological problems.

Introduction Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease affecting people globally, with a prevalence exceeding 15%. Despite its common occurance, further research is necessary to fully understand its characteristics and risk factors, especially across different age groups. Objectives This study aims to determine the prevalence, clinical characteristics, risk factors, and systemic involvement of AD in adult and pediatric patients in a tertiary care setting at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods This cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted on all atopic dermatitis patients at KAMC in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from medical records and the BESTCare system and analyzed with SPSS version 26. Results A total of 603 AD patients were collected, with 53.4% being female and 46.6% male. The mean age of the patients was 25.3 years, with 52.7% consisting of pediatric patients (< 18 years). Adult patients had higher BMI levels and a longer duration of AD, whereas pediatric patients had higher IgE levels. AD was more prevalent in childhood than in adults, and adult patients with comorbidities were more affected by AD than the general population. Conclusions In conclusion, the study findings highlighted that atopic dermatitis is more common in pediatric patient, however it poses a great impact in adults with comorbidities. The study's findings imply that a prospective investigation is required to confirm the cause and effect of this condition, especially in adult patients with comorbidities.
