Validation of the Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT) and a Comparison with the Recap of Atopic Eczema Questionnaire (RECAP).

ABSTRACT: The Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT) has not been validated in the Dutch population, and comparisons with the Recap of atopic eczema (RECAP) questionnaire are still lacking. This prospective study was conducted at a Dutch tertiary hospital between June 2021 and December 2022, to assess measurement properties of the Dutch ADCT in adults with atopic dermatitis (AD) and compare it with RECAP. Participants completed the ADCT, RECAP, and reference instruments including Patient's Global Assessment (PtGA), Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), quality-of-life questionnaire of the EuroQol Group (EQ-5D-5L), Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) peak itch/sleep disturbance, Skindex-29, and Global Rating of Change (GRC), at baseline, 1-3 days, and 4-12 weeks.
