Common Atopic Dermatitis Rating Scales: A Practical Approach and Brief Review
Yue Yang, Charles Lynde, Patrick Fleming
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) severity measurement scales are important in clinical trials as objective outcome measures and are often required for government and private insurance plans. These scales are sometimes underused by clinicians due to a variety of factors including time constraints and lack familiarity. We conducted a literature review on the most commonly used AD measurement scales and provide succinct user guides and scoring explanations, advantages and disadvantages, and interscale comparisons.
