Introduction

Limited evidence is available on real-world management of atopic dermatitis (AD) among Asian adults. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess current approaches in AD diagnosis and management in Asia.

Methods

Practising dermatologists regularly treating patients with moderate-to-severe AD were recruited from eight Asia-Pacific territories, namely Mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. A survey was administered to eligible dermatologists after screening and taking informed consent. Data from fully completed submissions were analysed using descriptive statistics. The study was reviewed by the institutional review board in each territory.

Results

Data from 271 dermatologists were included for analysis. About
