Cutaneous immune-related adverse events (cirAEs) may be associated with tumoral response and survival in patients using immune checkpoint inhibitors, but this relationship remains unclear because previous reports on the topic have various limitations. The purpose of this study was to examine the association of cirAEs with overall survival and progression-free survival in patients starting immune checkpoint inhibitors. A prospective observational study was conducted in a Spanish tertiary care hospital, including participants between March 2020 and May 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted on patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) to explore the impact of atopic comorbidities like asthma and allergic rhinitis on their treatment response.
  • Data was collected from the BIOBADATOP registry, involving 509 patients, mostly adults with severe AD, and analyzed for associations between atopic comorbidities and clinical characteristics.
  • Results indicated that patients with personal atopic comorbidities had more severe symptoms and a higher history of treatments, but no significant differences in treatment response were found after 6 and 12 months, suggesting a need for longer follow-up.

Article Synopsis
  • In 2021, a program was launched to encourage pediatricians to use teledermatology, and a satisfaction questionnaire was developed to evaluate their perceptions of this approach.
  • * A draft of the questionnaire was created based on literature, then refined by experts for clarity and relevance, ultimately ensuring all questions met a content validity index above 0.78.
  • * The final validated questionnaire showed strong internal consistency and reliability, making it a useful tool for assessing pediatricians' satisfaction with teledermatology despite some concerns regarding its construct validity.*
