Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of one-on-one, nurse-led therapeutic patient education (TPE) for children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), pitting it against standard care alone.
- A total of 176 children participated, but by week 24, there was no significant difference in disease control (measured by the SCORAD index) between the two groups.
- The only notable improvement from the TPE was a reduction in fear of using topical steroids, although the intervention group displayed consistently lower disease severity throughout the study.
The Patient-Oriented Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis and SCORAD in young children: New data on interpretability and clinical usefulness.

Background: There is limited data about the clinical meaningfulness of the Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) and Patient-Oriented SCORAD (PO-SCORAD), particularly in children with mild-to-moderate AD. Regular use of patient-reported outcomes, may deliver more accurate information about the overall health status of AD patients than routine but sparse physician assessments.
Objective: To confirm the correlation between SCORAD, PO-SCORAD, Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) and Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA).
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease leading to substantial quality of life impairment with heterogeneous treatment responses. People with AD would benefit from personalised treatment strategies, whose design requires predicting how AD severity evolves for each individual.
Objective: This study aims to develop a computational framework for personalised prediction of AD severity dynamics.
