Reliable assessment of atopic dermatitis severity: do we need more tools?

Reliable assessment of atopic dermatitis severity: do we need more tools? Br J Dermatol. 2020 Jul 11;: Authors: Reich A Abstract Facing the need to obtain more robust and reliable results from studies on various therapeutic modalities and the growing costs of clinical trials, a valid assessment of disease severities has now become particularly relevant. Regarding atopic dermatitis (AD), many available measures exist for its assessment; however, none is currently considered as a gold standard. The major difficulty in assessing AD severity relies on the need to evaluate both objective clinical severity as well as the subjective symptoms reported by patients.
