Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with itch, pain, sleep disturbance and systemic inflammation, all of which may contribute toward cognitive dysfunction. We sought to characterize the patient-burden of cognitive dysfunction in adult AD. We performed a prospective dermatology practice-based study using questionnaires and evaluation by a dermatologist (n=203). AD severity was assessed using patient-reported global AD severity, Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for worst-itch and skin-pain, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), ItchyQOL, Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), objective and sleep components of Scoring AD (SCORAD).
