Acta Derm Venereol. 2022 Jun 7. doi: 10.2340/actadv.v102.915. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTData from real-world use of new systemic treatments in atopic dermatitis (AD) is important for assessing safety and efficacy. The aim of this study is to de-scribe the baseline characteristics of adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD enrolled in the Danish nationwide Severe and ChRonic ATopic dermatitis CoHort (SCRATCH) database, between October 2017 and August 2021. A total of 282 adult patients were included. Most (62%) were men, the median age at baseline was 43 years (interquartile range (IQR) 29-54 years), and median age at onset of AD was 1 year (IQR 0-6 years). The median Eczema Area and Severity Index at treatment initiation was 19.1 (IQR 11.9-25.7); median Patient Oriented Eczema Measure 21.0 (IQR 16.0-25.0); median Dermatology Life Quality Index 13.0 (IQR 7.0-19.0); and median itch and sleep numerical rating scale scores 8.0 (IQR 6.0-9.0) and 6.0 (IQR 4.0-8.0). Differences were found between the sexes. This registry will provide a source for future efficacy and safety studies.PMID:35670330 | DOI:10.2340/actadv.v102.915
