I am a clinician scientist @OHSUNews with interest in skin inflammatory conditions. My research focus #pyodermagangrenosum, #neutrophilicdermatoses and #wounds

[Alex G Ortega Loayza @ThePGguy]

Our #PyodermaGangrenosum registry shows real-world insights https://t.co/pcK8UpkH4G Highlights from 223 patients1️⃣Misdiagnosis common: 24% had ulcers mimicking PG 2️⃣Diagnosis evolves: 6% reclassified; mean delay ≈22 months 3️⃣Biopsy limits: Changed dx in only 16% @AmJClinDerma

[Alex G Ortega Loayza @ThePGguy]

Diagnostic delay in PG is linked to longer healing times, even after adjusting for ulcer size and comorbidities. Our latest response highlights these findings and the need for more research to improve patient outcomes. Read more here: https://t.co/sAdQP9h1IH

We are working together in #UPGRADE paving a way forward to elevate the standards of #pyodermagangrenosum clinical trials; the core domain set for PG trials include now clinical signs, quality of life and pain @BrJDermatol @MedDermSoc #dermtwitter

I am very excited to share our most recent study https://t.co/huCibXg90k. We showed that a 2-point improvement in pain based on a numeric rating scale may indicate that #pyodermagangrenosum patients are responding to treatment @JAMADerm @MedDermSoc #medtwitter #RareDisease

[Alex G Ortega Loayza @ThePGguy]

I am excited to share our recent paper demonstrating that complement activates NETosis in #pyodermagangrenosum--important milestone to understand what triggers this devastating ulcerative disease. @theJIDJournal @MedDermSoc @PGangrenosum @SocInvestDerm

“The rarity of PG combined with the difficulty of its diagnosis and treatment make it all the more important for
providers to understand the legal challenges faced by patients with this condition.” https://t.co/eOTUXB9eoC @OHSUNews @uamshealth @KTS_Law @ThePGguy
