Abstract

Introduction: in one third of patients with psoriasis, symptoms start during childhood and adolescence, with a strong emotional and psychosocial impact.

Objective: to develop a guideline for the systemic treatment of psoriasis in pediatric patients by means of recommendations based on the best available evidence.

Materials and methods: Sources: articles indexed in PubMed, Epistemonikos, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library and Scielo, published between January 2010 and May 2022, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Study selection: evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled studies, observational studies (case-control, cohort studies, real-life registries) and evaluations of biosimilar drugs in patients up to and including 17 years of age were considered. The keywords "psoriasis" and "treatment" were used in all three languages. Data extraction: the literature was evaluated using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) recommendations. Data synthesis: evidence tables were developed and analyzed by the expert committee. The questions for the development of recommendations were based on the PICO system (population, intervention, comparison, outcome).

Results: A total of 8 recommendations and 7 points of good practice were developed. The direction and strength of the recommendations were expressed according to the GRADE system.

Conclusions: the final decision on a specific therapy should be based on the best opinion of the treating physician, the individual characteristics, and the values and preferences of the patients and their caregivers.

Introducción: un tercio de los pacientes con psoriasis comienzan con sus síntomas en la niñez y la adolescencia, con fuerte impacto emocional y psicosocial.

Objetivo: elaborar una guía de tratamiento sistémico de la psoriasis en pacientes pediátricos mediante recomendaciones fundamentadas en la mejor evidencia disponible.

Materiales y métodos: Fuentes: artículos indexados en PubMed, Epistemonikos, Google Académico, Cochrane Library y Scielo, publicados entre enero de 2010 y mayo de 2022, en inglés, castellano y portugués. Selección de estudios: se consideraron guías de práctica clínica basadas en la evidencia, revisiones sistemáticas, metanálisis, estudios controlados y aleatorizados, estudios observacionales (casos y controles, estudios de cohortes, registros de la vida real) y evaluaciones de medicamentos biosimilares en pacientes de hasta 17 años de edad inclusive. Se utilizaron las palabras clave "psoriasis" y "tratamiento" en los tres idiomas. Extracción de datos: la bibliografía fue evaluada mediante las recomendaciones del sistema Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). Síntesis de datos: elaboración de tablas de evidencia que fueron analizadas por el comité de expertos. Las preguntas para el desarrollo de recomendaciones se fundamentaron en el sistema PICO (población, intervención, comparación, outcome [desenlace]).

Resultados: se elaboraron un total de 8 recomendaciones y 7 puntos de buena práctica. La dirección y fuerza de las recomendaciones se expresaron de acuerdo con lo sugerido por el sistema GRADE.

Conclusiones: la decisión final de una terapia específica se fundamentará en la mejor opinión del médico tratante, las características individuales, y los valores y preferencias de los pacientes y sus cuidadores.

Keywords: psoriasis; clinical practice guideline; pediatrics; GRADE approach.
