Objectives: To better characterize the AD burden in paediatric patients by disease severity.
Methods: This cross-sectional, web-based survey of paediatric patients (6 months to < 18 years old) was conducted in 18 countries representing North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East/Eurasia and East Asia.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of atopic dermatitis on families of pediatric patients.
Study Design: This cross-sectional, web-based survey of children/adolescents (6 months to <18 years old) with atopic dermatitis and their parents and caregivers was conducted in 18 countries encompassing North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East/Eurasia, and East Asia. Children and adolescents with atopic dermatitis and their parents and caregivers were identified by the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood criteria and ever being told by a physician that they had "eczema".
Background: Little is known on the current global prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in the pediatric population.
Objective: To estimate the real-world global prevalence of AD in the pediatric population and by disease severity.
Methods: This international, cross-sectional, web-based survey of children and adolescents (6 months to <18 years old) was conducted in the following 18 countries: North America (Canada, United States), Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Mexico), Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom), Middle East and Eurasia (Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Russia), and East Asia (Japan, Taiwan).
