Researchers sought to determine risk factors for hospitalization in children with atopic dermatitis.
Rates of Readmission for Atopic Dermatitis Examined
Researchers assessed readmission rates among inpatients hospitalized for atopic dermatitis in the United States.
The Central Role of Sweat Dysfunction in Atopic Dermatitis
Skin barrier dysfunction is a primary mechanism in the production of the common symptoms of atopic dermatitis, including skin dryness, irritation, and itching, and leaves the body vulnerable to allergens and pathogens.
Short-Form 12 and Short-Form 6-DImensional May Reliably Assess Atopic Dermatitis Burden on QoL

Abrocitinib Looks Promising in Phase 3 Atopic Dermatitis Trial
Top-line results were announced from a phase 3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of abrocitinib, an oral Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor, for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in patients ≥12 years old.
Heterogeneous Distribution of Lesions Among Persons With Atopic Dermatitis
Researchers identified different phenotypes of atopic dermatitis lesions and their effects on quality of life in adults with atopic dermatitis in the United States.
Researchers Identify Scoring Instruments Helpful for Assessing Atopic Dermatitis Severity
Patient-oriented scoring atopic dermatitis (PO-SCORAD), PO-SCORAD subscores, numeric rating scale-itch and patient-oriented eczema measure all appear to have sufficient validity to be used as assessments of atopic dermatitis severity in clinical practice.
