Protocol: Protocol for a prospective observational longitudinal study in paediatric patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (PEDISTAD): study objectives design and methodology

摘要

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease often associated with atopic comorbidities and has significant impact on children and their families. There is a lack of robust and longitudinal long-term data on disease characteristics and typical clinical practice with currently available treatments in children with moderate-to-severe AD. Hence, an observational study is needed to evaluate AD characteristics and progression in paediatric patients with moderate-to-severe AD.
