Pediatric Residents’ Assessment of Atopic Dermatitis Severity for Risk Assessment of Early Peanut Introduction,

Atopic dermatitis (AD), often referred to as eczema, is one of the most common skin disorders affecting the pediatric population.1 Although pediatricians diagnose eczema frequently, classification of severity can be challenging, as score-based indices (e.g., The Eczema and Area Severity Index (EASI), Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index) are complicated and designed primarily for use in clinical trials. These instruments are used infrequently by general pediatricians and may be associated with discrepancies in AD classification between providers.
