The reporting of social determinants of health in pediatric dermatology clinical trials: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the acknowledgment of the importance of social determinants of health (SDOH) on clinical outcomes, few clinical trials provide information about SDOH. Including these markers in pediatric dermatologic clinical trials may lead to improved care and novel observations about the disease.

Objective

Using a systematic review, assess the use of SDOH in pediatric dermatology clinical trials.

Methods

CINAHL Plus, Cochrane: CENTRAL, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus were searched. English language randomized controlled trials about pediatric dermatology diseases published from January 2011 to May 2022 were included. Two authors independently screened all records using Covidence at 2 levels. Two authors independently collected data using Covidence and Microsoft Excel
