Objective:
To evaluate the clinical course of atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults during the COVID-19 pandemic and to evaluate their comorbidities and cardiovascular risk.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in adults with AD. Severity and control of AD, quality of life, levels of psychological stress, depression and cardiovascular risk were measured.
Results:
Forty-two patients were included. A decrease in POEM score (11.83 vs 10.12; p=0.004) and PO-SCORAD (37.77 vs 32.49; p= 0.001) was observed in comparison to the scores at pandemic onset. The quality of life correlated with the severity of AD (p<0.0001) while the levels of stress and depression did not show association. Most patients had a low cardiovascular risk.
Conclusions:
The results suggest a decrease in the current severity of AD compared with severity before pandemic. Quality of life is associated with AD severity.
