INTRODUCTION: In an effort to define the characteristics of populations affected by melasma, we utilized a large global health research network database from 108 health care organizations (TriNetx) to quantify the associations between race, ethnicity, and comorbidities.
METHODS: We identified the cohort of all patients with melasma from the TriNetx database, and subsequently generated a control cohort. ICD-10 codes were used to identify the prevalence of various comorbidities associated with melasma.
RESULTS: A total of 41,283 patients with melasma (93% female, mean [SD] age 48.8 [12.6] year) were identified. The most frequently associated risk factors included hypertension (25% of the melasma cohort) and hormonal contraception (24%). Rosacea (OR=5.1), atopic dermatitis (OR=3.3), lupus (OR=2.5), history of skin cancer (OR=2.5), history of internal malignancy (OR=2.1), and hormonal contraception use (OR=2.1) possessed the highest odds ratios for development of melasma (all P< 0.01). A statistically significant association was identified for melasma in Asian or Other/Unknown races (OR=2.0 and OR=1.7, P< 0.01), as well as Hispanic ethnicity (OR=1.3, P< 0.01). White, Black/African American, and Not Hispanic groups all revealed slightly lower odds (all 0.8, P< 0.01).
CONCLUSION: This latest global update on the etiopathology of melasma further supports findings from prior epidemiologic study reporting preference in melanized phenotypes (Fitzpatrick skin type III-V), but less so in extreme skin types (I, II, VI). Increased associations with rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and history of cancer may emphasize the importance of treating concurrent inflammatory environments and the consideration of more frequent malignancy surveillance.
