According to recent estimates, more than 650\u00a0000 Syrian refugees are displaced in Jordan.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This article aims to assess the demographic characteristics and skin disease profile of Syrian displaced people residing in Al Za'atari camp and in communities in Jordan. Furthermore, the authors discuss the barriers to healthcare provision experienced during field missions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a retrospective analysis of medical records collected during three medical missions in Jordan by an international dermatological team. Data on patient age, gender, country of origin and skin disease diagnoses were recorded both in Al Za'atari camp and Jordanian towns near the Syrian border.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 1197 patients were assessed during the field missions, with 67.7% female and 37.1% under the age of 14\u00a0years. Dermatitis was the leading dermatological condition in both refugee camp and community healthcare clinics. Infectious diseases were the second most common; however, fungal presentations were more common in the community as opposed to viral in Al Za'atari.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>High dermatitis presentations were likely secondary to the environment, living conditions and lack of access to emollients. Infectious diseases were postulated secondary to poor hygiene and sharing of overcrowded spaces. Barriers to health care included limited pharmacological formulary, difficulty in continuity of care and case referrals due to lack of specialized services. Better access to health care, improvement of living conditions and hygiene, and increased availability of medications including emollients and sunscreens are all interventions that should be carried out to reduce skin disease burden. Our findings should further urge the international community to uphold their commitments and uptake engagement in improving health care for Syrian displaced people.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.15909","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,9]],"date-time":"2019-09-09T10:17:16Z","timestamp":1568024236000},"page":"419-425","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Skin disease profile of Syrian refugees in Jordan: a field\u2010mission assessment"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3502-6713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.L.","family":"Saikal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Liverpool Hospital Sydney NSW Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Public Health University of New South Wales Sydney NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology University College London Hospital London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Mir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology New York Medical College New York NY USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Pace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St James Capua Hospital Sliema Malta"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Abdulla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York\u2010Presbyterian\/Columbia University Irving Medical Centre New York NY USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.F.","family":"Leong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Kuala Lumpur General Hospital Kuala Lumpur Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Benelkahla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Farhat Hached Hospital Sousse Tunisia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine Ibn Aljazar Sousse Tunisia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Olabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Lauriston Building Edinburgh UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Medialdea\u2010Carrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Control Unit Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Directorate Msida Malta"},{"name":"European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1274-9230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V.","family":"Padovese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology Genitourinary Clinic Mater Dei Hospital Msida Malta"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"UNHCR [United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees].Syria regional refugee response: total registered Syrian refugees.
