Mobile Health App as an Auxiliary Tool in Management of Atopic Dermatitis in Children: Randomized Controlled Trial

Mobile Health App as an Auxiliary Tool in Management of Atopic Dermatitis in Children: Randomized Controlled Trial

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of mobile health applications for AD reported a significant improvement in patients’ quality of life (assessed by Dermatology Life Quality Index) and self-management (assessed by Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure [POEM]) but no significant impact on AD severity (assessed by SCORAD [Scoring Atopic Dermatitis]) [3].

Improving Outcomes and Quality of Life for Patients With Hand and Foot Eczema: Randomized Study of a Patient-Centered Monitoring App

Improving Outcomes and Quality of Life for Patients With Hand and Foot Eczema: Randomized Study of a Patient-Centered Monitoring App

Hand eczema is one of the most common dermatologic conditions responsible for a very large proportion of dermatological consultations. According to a systematic review and meta-analysis, the 1-year prevalence is estimated to be 9.1% in the general population [1]. The probability of developing hand eczema at least once in a lifetime is 17% [2]. This likelihood varies greatly depending on occupational groups.

From the Cochrane Library: Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists for Eczema

From the Cochrane Library: Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists for Eczema

A 2018 Cochrane review, “Leukotriene receptor antagonists for eczema” [6], examined clinical trials to determine if there is sufficient evidence to recommend LTRAs for use in patients with AD but concluded that there was limited, low-quality evidence of its efficacy and safety. This Cochrane review extracted data across 5 studies and 202 participants to evaluate the evidence of LTRA effectiveness in AD.

A Mobile Health App for Facilitating Disease Management in Children With Atopic Dermatitis: Feasibility and Impact Study

A Mobile Health App for Facilitating Disease Management in Children With Atopic Dermatitis: Feasibility and Impact Study

The app uses a numerical rating scale for grading the severity of pruritus [9] and the patient-oriented eczema measure (POEM) [10] as a global severity score. AI can assist in tailoring treatment plans for individuals with atopic eczema by analyzing patient data, including lifestyle factors, environmental conditions, and treatment responses. Attempts to develop accurate automated measurements of eczema severity using images have shown promising results.

Clinical Efficacy of Nutritional Supplements in Atopic Dermatitis: Systematic Review

Clinical Efficacy of Nutritional Supplements in Atopic Dermatitis: Systematic Review

Atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that presents with symptoms of intense pruritus, dryness, and erythema. In the acute phase, inflammatory changes are dominated by edema, vesicles, and weeping skin lesions, which lead to chronic cutaneous manifestations, including thickening of the skin and fibrosis [1]. AD has 2 classifications: intrinsic (endogenous) and extrinsic (exogenous).

Skin of Color Representation for Atopic Dermatitis on TikTok: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Skin of Color Representation for Atopic Dermatitis on TikTok: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Tik Tok was searched with the term #eczema on July 27, 2022, and the first 136 videos were assessed. We included nonduplicative English videos with relevant content. Of the 136 videos, 119 met the inclusion criteria and 17 did not. Videos by board-certified physicians were categorized as physician; those by individuals without recognized medical qualifications were categorized as nonphysician.

Prescribing Patterns of Dupilumab for Atopic Dermatitis in Adults: Retrospective, Observational Cohort Study

Prescribing Patterns of Dupilumab for Atopic Dermatitis in Adults: Retrospective, Observational Cohort Study

The most common recent diagnosis was a general diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (n=3263, 50.8%), followed by vesicular eczema (n=1148, 17.9%), nummular eczema (n=1126, 17.5%), flexural eczema (n=763, 11.9%), and lastly, atopic neurodermatitis (n=12, 1.9%). Among those who received dupilumab, the mean age was 51.4 (SD 16.7) years and 58.6% (n=146) were female. Every patient who received a prescription had either multiple prescriptions, prescriptions for quantities greater than 1, or received refills.

Engagement, Retention, and Acceptability in a Digital Health Program for Atopic Dermatitis: Prospective Interventional Study

Engagement, Retention, and Acceptability in a Digital Health Program for Atopic Dermatitis: Prospective Interventional Study

Genetic predisposition, environmental factors, defects in skin barrier function, and immune dysregulation are known pathogenic factors; triggers, such as sweating, certain irritants, infections, and stress, can induce eczema and pruritus [2]. The resulting itch-scratch cycle can further damage the skin barrier and hypersensitize affected nerve fibers, some of which also function as pain receptors, and thus, itch is often accompanied by pain [5].

A Digital Self-help Intervention for Atopic Dermatitis: Analysis of Secondary Outcomes From a Feasibility Study

A Digital Self-help Intervention for Atopic Dermatitis: Analysis of Secondary Outcomes From a Feasibility Study

Extradural symptoms, such as depression and anxiety disorders are common, and psychiatric comorbidity has been found to increase in correlation with more severe eczema [2]. One study on a UK sample found that 40% of people with AD had a depression- or anxiety-related diagnosis compared to 17% of people without AD [3]. Stress and negative emotions can lead to increased scratching and skin tearing behavior.

Development of a Website for a Living Network Meta-analysis of Atopic Dermatitis Treatments Using a User-Centered Design: Multimethod Study

Development of a Website for a Living Network Meta-analysis of Atopic Dermatitis Treatments Using a User-Centered Design: Multimethod Study

The user’s expectation from the home page was that she would learn more information about eczema research and upcoming clinical trials. She did not have any issues navigating the website and had no difficulty understanding its content. She believed the longer bars on the “Avoiding potentially dangerous side effects” domain meant more dangerous side effects. The wording was then changed to “Safety: Fewer Serious Adverse Events.”
