Effectiveness of the Eczema Action Plan (EAP) in improving the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) scores among pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis: A pragmatic randomized controlled trial

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronically relapsing skin disease that occurs most commonly during early infancy and childhood. Education about the condition is vital in helping patients and their caregivers understand the nature of the disease. Evidence show that adherence is poor. There are no reported studies on interventions done so far to increase treatment adherence among patients with atopic dermatitis in the local setting. This study aims to improve treatment adherence among patients with atopic dermatitis through improvement of the EASI scores.
