Atopic dermatitis: Burden of illness, quality of life, and associated complications
Background:
Atopic dermatitis is a chronically relapsing inflammatory skin condition that is burdensome for individuals with the disease, their families, and for society as a whole.
Objectives:
The purpose of this review was to provide a broad overview of the burden of atopic dermatitis, including quality of life and its associated complications.
Methods And Results:
This article was divided into four main sections: (1) atopic dermatitis prevalence, persistence, and population-level burden; (2) burden of atopic dermatitis for individuals and their families; (3) medical complications and comorbidities of atopic dermatitis; and (4) assessment of the burden of atopic dermatitis in clinical practice.
Conclusion:
Having an understanding of the burden of atopic dermatitis is important for clinicians as they assess and manage atopic dermatitis in the clinical setting.
