Consensus on a Patient-Centered Definition of Atopic Dermatitis Flare.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Flare is a term commonly used in atopic dermatitis (AD) care settings and clinical research, but little consensus exists on what it means. Meanwhile, flare management is an important unmet research and treatment need. Understanding how various therapies might comparatively improve AD flares as a measure of treatment effectiveness may facilitate shared decision-making and enable assessment of effectiveness within and outside clinical settings.

Objective

To identify patient-reported attributes associated with an AD flare to develop a patient-centered, consensus-based working definition.

Design, setting, and participants

This consensus survey study used a modified eDelphi method involving consensus-building focus groups and a survey conducted from January 10 t
