Adult atopic dermatitis (AD) showed decreased severity during the COVID-19 pandemic, with quality of life linked to AD severity. Cardiovascular risk remained low.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Epidemiology
- Cardiology
Context:
- The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges for managing chronic conditions like atopic dermatitis (AD).
- Understanding the impact of the pandemic on AD clinical course, comorbidities, and cardiovascular risk in adults is crucial.
Purpose:
- To assess the clinical evolution of adult atopic dermatitis (AD) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- To evaluate comorbidities and cardiovascular risk in adult patients with AD throughout the pandemic.
Summary:
- A cross-sectional study of 42 adult AD patients revealed a significant decrease in AD severity (POEM and PO-SCORAD scores) compared to pre-pandemic levels.
- Quality of life correlated strongly with AD severity (p<0.0001), but psychological stress and depression levels showed no significant association.
- The majority of patients exhibited a low cardiovascular risk profile.
Impact:
- Findings suggest a potential improvement in adult atopic dermatitis (AD) severity during the pandemic.
- Highlights the significant relationship between quality of life and AD severity in adult patients.
- Provides insights into the cardiovascular health of adult AD patients during the pandemic.

Classification of Asthma
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
