Atopic Dermatitis
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to assess the impact of dupilumab on the mental health and quality of life of moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD) patients. The study will recruit participants from AD patients who are already receiving dupilumab treatment. The study enrollment period will be about 9 months with each of the participants undergoing a 6-month observational study period.
Interventions
This study will not administer any treatment, only observe the treatment as prescribed in real world clinical practice.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of Participants with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Anxiety (HADS-A) Sub-scores of Less Than 8 | Week 24 | The HADS is a 14-item patient-reported outcomes measure used to assess states of anxiety and depression over the past week. It is comprised of 7 items assessing anxiety and depression respectively. A Total score is out of 42 (21 per subscale). Higher scores indicate greater levels of anxiety. |
| Proportion of Participants with HADS Depression (HADS-D) Sub-scores of less than 8 | Week 24 | The HADS is a 14-item patient-reported outcomes measure used to assess states of anxiety and depression over the past week. It is comprised of 7 items assessing anxiety and depression respectively. A Total score is out of 42 (21 per subscale). Higher scores indicate greater levels of depression. |
| Change from Baseline in HADS Total Score. | Baseline to up to Week 24 | The HADS is a 14-item patient-reported outcomes measure used to assess states of anxiety and depression over the past week. It is comprised of 7 items assessing anxiety and depression respectively. A Total score is out of 42 (21 per subscale). Higher scores indicate greater levels of anxiety and/or depression. |
| Proportion of Participants with More Than or Equal to 4-point Improvement in POEM Total Score | Week 24 | The Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) is a 7-item self-assessment questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms on a scale ranging from 0 to 4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1 to 2 days, 2 = 3 to 4 days, 3 = 5 to 6 days, 4 = all days). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). Higher scores indicate more severe disease and poor quality of life. |
| Change from Baseline in POEM Total Score. | Baseline to up to Week 24 | The POEM is a 7-item self-assessment questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms on a scale ranging from 0 to 4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1 to 2 days, 2 = 3 to 4 days, 3 = 5 to 6 days, 4 = all days). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). Higher scores indicate more severe disease and poor quality of life. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)/Children's DLQI total score. | Baseline to week 24 | DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire to measure dermatology specific quality of life (QoL). The DLQI is designed for use in adults (patients more than equal to \[≥\] 17 years of age) and the CDLQI for patients 12-17 years of age. Each question is scored on a four-point Likert scale. The DLQI is calculated by adding the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. A score higher than 10 indicates that the patient's life is being severely affected by their skin disease. |
| Proportion of Participants Achieving More than Equal to 4-point Improvement in DLQI/CDLQI Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) | Week 24 | DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire to measure dermatology specific quality of life (QoL). The DLQI is designed for use in adults (patients more than equal to \[≥\] 17 years of age) and the CDLQI for patients 12-17 years of age. Each question is scored on a four-point Likert scale. The DLQI is calculated by adding the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. A score higher than 10 indicates that the patient's life is being severely affected by their skin disease. |
| Proportion of Participants with Impacted Psychological Status using Dermatological Cumulative Life Course Impairment-Prospective (DermCLCI-p) | Baseline to up to Week 24 | DermCLCI-p is the predictive tool of 30 questions that assesses the current cumulative life course impairment (CLCI) status and future risk. This tool consists of 30 items, items 1 to 28 are answered on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very). Items 29 and 30 are answered on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very). |
| Proportion of Participants with Impacted Professional Life/Education Status using DermCLCI-p | At Baseline and Week 24. | DermCLCI-p is the predictive tool of 30 questions that assesses the current cumulative life course impairment (CLCI) status and future risk. This tool consists of 30 items, items 1 to 28 are answered on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very). Items 29 and 30 are answered on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very). |
