Patient-reported global severity of atopic dermatitis is valid in adults

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with a heterogeneous presentation and clinical course. There are many different patient-reported outcome measures available that measure different aspects of the disease. However, there are few simple, intuitive and validated severity assessments that are feasible for clinical practice and epidemiologic research. We sought to validate patient-reported global AD severity in adults. We performed a prospective dermatology practice-based study using questionnaires and evaluation by a dermatologist (n = 265).
