| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Introduction: Xanthelasma palpebrarum refers to lipid deposition that occurs on eyelids and inner canthi. It is an important cutaneous manifestation of hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Few studies have been done in Nepal regarding lipid abnormality in xanthelasma patients. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with xanthelasma palpebrarum visiting the Department of Dermatology of a tertiary care centre. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 80 patients from January, 2021 to February, 2022 in the Department of Dermatology of a tertiary care centre. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 60512021). Convenience sampling was used. Lipid profile analysis was done among patients with clinical diagnosis of xanthelasma palpabrarum. Data was collected using Microsoft Excel for Mac version 16.16.27 and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22.0. Point estimate at 90% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Results: Out of 80 patients with xanthelasma palpebrarum, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 64 (80.00%) (74-86 at 90% Confidence Interval). Among them, 29 (45.31%) were males and 35 (54.69%) were females. Conclusions: In our study, the prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with xanthelasma palpebrarum was found to be higher than in similar studies conducted in similar settings. | |
