Background: Lebrikizumab, an IL-13 immunomodulator, has shown recommendable effectiveness and safety in clinical studies for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in adolescents and adults.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab in the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD through a meta-analysis.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Medline, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched up to 8 August 2023. Randomized clinical trials of lebrikizumab treatment for moderate-to-severe AD were included by screening titles, abstracts, and papers.
Results: Five studies involving 1,551 patients with AD were identified. Pooled analysis revealed significant improvements in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score (SMD = -0.527; 95% CI = [-0.617, -0.436]), Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score (RR = 2.122; 95% CI = [1.803, 2.496]), Body Surface Area (BSA) score (SMD = -0.608; 95% CI = [-1.099, -0.118]), SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) score (SMD = -0.441; 95% CI = [-0.633, -0.250]). Moreover, Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (P-NRS) score, Patient-oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) scores, Sleep-loss score and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores showed similar results. Adverse events (AEs) (RR = 0.984; 95% CI = [0.907, 1.068]) for lebrikizumab showed no statistically significant difference compared to placebo, with similar results for serious adverse events (SAEs) (RR = 0.748; 95% CI = [0.410, 1.364]).
Conclusion: This meta-analysis reveals that lebrikizumab has higher efficacy and safety in the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD, with the 250 mg Q2W dosage regimen appearing to be more advantageous.

Background: The initial theme of the PROGRESS framework for prognosis research is termed overall prognosis research. Its aim is to describe the most likely course of health conditions in the context of current care. These average group-level prognoses may be used to inform patients, health policies, trial designs, or further prognosis research.

Purpose/aim Of The Study: There is limited real-world evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in Gulf countries. The study aimed to evaluate atopic dermatitis (AD) disease control in adult and adolescent patients (≥12 years) treated with dupilumab in Gulf countries.
Materials And Methods: This observational study included patients with moderate-to-severe AD who initiated dupilumab within 30 days.

Background: Lebrikizumab monotherapy significantly improved signs and symptoms in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in phase 3 Advocate1 and ADvocate2 studies.
Objective: To evaluate improvements in patient-reported symptoms and quality-of-life (QoL) measures by Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) response categories using pooled Advocate1 and ADvocate2 data (post hoc analysis).
Methods: In the 52-week (W) (16-W induction + 36-W maintenance) double-blind, placebo-controlled ADvocate1 and ADvocate2 studies, patients were randomized (2:1) to receive subcutaneous lebrikizumab 250 mg or placebo every 2 weeks.

Importance: A high infection burden in early childhood is common and a risk factor for later disease development. However, longitudinal birth cohort studies investigating early-life infection burden and later risk of infection and antibiotic episodes are lacking.
Objective: To investigate whether early-life infection burden is associated with a later risk of infection and systemic antibiotic treatment episodes in childhood.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and subsequent post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) often impair daily activities and mental health (MH), which contribute to long-term TBI-related disability. PTE also affects driving capacity, which impacts functional independence, community participation, and satisfaction with life (SWL). However, studies evaluating the collective impact of PTE on multidimensional outcomes are lacking.
