Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| All measurements (completion of questionnaires) will be done once only during the first hospital visit: 1. How much skin pain has affected the patient’s life over the last week, measured using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 2. For patients under 16 years of age: How much skin pain has affected the patient’s life over the last week, measured using the Children Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI)] 3. Health-related quality of life; mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression measured using EuroQol-5 Dimensions-3 Level scale (EQ-5D-3L) 4, How much having a child with atopic dermatitis affects the quality of life of other (adult) members of the family, measured using the Dermatitis Family Impact (DFI) 5. Symptoms/itch and impact on the domains of work, and sleep disturbance and pain, measured using the Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Peak Prutitus Numerical Severity Scale (PP-NRS), Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI) 6. Sleep disturbance and pain measured using self-reported sleep and pain measurement | — |

|---|---|
| During the first visit the following information of the patient will be collected once only from the patient’s medical records (no measurements or interventions are needed): 1. Main characteristics of this patient population (sociodemographic, clinical, including body surface area [BSA], specific areas of interest involved, etc) using descriptive statistics and severity expressed as a percentage of patients with AD of different severity in the selected cohort 2. Drug categories used currently and in the past, in this patient population 3. Main characteristics of healthcare resources utilized, including specialty and frequency of consultation of involved healthcare professionals (HCPs), hospital visits or hospitalizations for AD in last year (unless defined otherwise) using descriptive statistics | — |
