Discussion: “We echo the call to action for more studies to better understand the impact of AD and BSI in urban-living Indigenous CYP, noting specifically the poor representation of North American Indigenous CYP in the published literature,” concluded the researchers.
Genetic/Environmental Contributions and Immune Dysregulation in Children with Atopic Dermatitis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36447957/
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common skin conditions in humans. AD affects up to 20% of children worldwide and results in morbidity for both patients and their...
Conclusions: Explaining the genetic basis of AD to patients and families may improve compliance with moisturizers and topical anti-inflammatory medications based on their understanding that AD patients are inherently predisposed to skin barrier defects and cutaneous inflammation. Meanwhile, minimizing environmental triggers may lead to...
Real-World Treatment Patterns and Treatment Benefits among Adult Patients with Atopic Dermatitis: Results from the Atopic Dermatitis Patient Satisfaction and Unmet Need Survey - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36479885/
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder associated with a heterogeneous presentation and considerable disease burden. Exploring atopic dermatitis treatment patterns and patient benefits could improve disease management and...
Conclusions: The results of this study highlight the current unmet medical needs in AD management. This is especially so for adult patients experiencing barriers to JAK inhibitors and biologics with moderate/severe AD whose priority goals of itch relief and skin improvement were not met with topical therapy. There is a need to consider...
Eczema Care Online behavioural interventions to support self-care for children and young people: two independent, pragmatic, randomised controlled trials
Source : https://www.bmj.com/content/379/bmj-2022-072007
Objective To determine the effectiveness of two online behavioural interventions, one for parents and carers and one for young people, to support eczema self-management. Design Two independent, pragmatic, parallel group,...
Conclusions: Two online interventions for self-management of eczema aimed at parents or carers of children with eczema and at young people with eczema provide a useful, sustained benefit in managing eczema severity in children and young people when offered in addition to usual eczema care.
