Introduction The Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) assesses patient-reported severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) symptoms, whereas the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) measures how AD affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children. Although the POEM and CDLQI have established thresholds for clinically meaningful within-patient change in adolescents (aged 12-17 years), there are no defined within-patient responder thresholds for clinically meaningful change in children aged 6-11 years.
