Severity strata for POEM, PO-SCORAD and DLQI in US adults with atopic dermatitis

Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) is the preferred patient-reported outcome (PRO) for assessing symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD). Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is commonly used to assess the burden of skin disease. Previous severity strata were developed for POEM and DLQI in clinical cohorts, which may be biased toward more severe disease. Severity strata were not previously examined in population-based cohorts. Patient-Oriented Scoring AD (PO-SCORAD) is another commonly used PRO for assessing AD symptoms, yet severity strata are not established.
