Abstract
FUNDAMENTOS: O pênfigo vulgar é uma bulose grave, produzida pela destruição autoimune dos desmossomos, o que resulta na formação de bolhas intraepidérmicas, afetando pele e mucosas, com mortalidade de 5 a 10%. Os efeitos colaterais da terapêutica contribuíram para aumentar a morbidade da doença, respondendo por parte considerável das causas imediatas de morte por pênfigo vulgar atualmente. Não há nenhuma sistematização reprodutível para a avaliação clínica dos pacientes de pênfigo vulgar, tornando a decisão terapêutica subjetiva e os seus resultados, incertos. OBJETIVO: Validar um escore para a avaliação clínica dos pacientes com pênfigo vulgar. MÉTODO: O índice de comprometimento cutaneomucoso do pênfigo vulgar foi criado, pontuando achados de fácil observação no exame clínico. Durante três anos, sete pacientes com pênfigo vulgar foram acompanhados e submeti dos, em cada consulta, a pareamentos independentes do índice de comprometimento cutaneomucoso do pênfigo vulgar com vistas à aferição da sua reprodutibilidade. RESULTADOS: O índice de comprometimento cutaneomucoso do pênfigo vulgar se mostrou reprodutível em todos os métodos estatísticos utilizados para avaliação da concordância entre os examinadores independentes, permitindo, ainda, separar os pacientes em classes de gravidade crescente. CONCLUSÃO: O índice de comprometimento cutaneomucoso do pênfigo vulgar pode ajudar na classificação da gravidade do pênfigo vulgar, contribuindo para a pesquisa médica e para a uniformização das condutas terapêuticas num futuro próximo.
BACKGROUND: Pemphigus vulgaris is a severe bullous disease, produced by the autoimmune destruction of desmosomes, resulting in the formation of intraepidermal blisters, affecting skin and mucous membranes, with a mortality of 5 to 10%. Side effects of therapy contributed to increased morbidity, accounting for considerable part of the immediate causes of death due to PV today. There is no reproducible score for clinical evaluation of patients with Pemphigus vulgaris, making the therapeutic decision subjective, and its results, uncertain. OBJECTIVES: Create and evaluate the reproducibility of a scoring system for clinical evaluation of patients with pemphigus vulgaris. METHODS: The Commitment Index of Skin and Mucous in Pemphigus Vulgaris was created, scoring easily observed findings on clinical examination. During 3 years, 7 patients with active PV were submitted to pairings of Commitment Index of Skin and Mucous in Pemphigus Vulgaris conduced by independent examiners for determinate its reproducibility. RESULTS: The Commitment Index of Skin and Mucous in Pemphigus Vulgaris proved that it is reproducible in all the statistical methods used to assess agreement between the independent examiners. In adition, it permited us to separate the patients into classes of severity. CONCLUSION: The Commitment Index of Skin and Mucous in Pemphigus Vulgaris can classify the severity of Pemphigus Vulgaris, contributing to medical research, and to the standardization of the therapy in the near future.
