1273 Ethnic differences and comorbidities of 909 Prurigo nodularis patients: A  cohort study at Johns Hopkins Hospital

Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a pruritic dermatosis that significantly affects sleep and quality of life. Currently, there are no large-scale studies characterizing the demographics or comorbidities of patients with PN. For this study, retrospective data on the demographics and comorbidities of patients 18 years and older with PN seen at the Johns Hopkins Hospital system (JHH) from 12/6/12-12/6/17 were collected using EPIC. Patients with PN were compared to race-matched controls with atopic dermatitis and psoriasis after adjustment for multiple testing.
