Patient-reported outcomes for measuring sleep disturbance in pediatric atopic dermatitis: Cross-sectional study of the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System pediatric sleep measures and actigraphy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most children with atopic dermatitis (AD) experience sleep disturbance, but reliable and valid assessment tools are lacking.

Objectives

To test the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) sleep measures in pediatric AD and to develop an algorithm to screen, assess, and intervene to reduce sleep disturbance.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted with children with AD ages 5 to 17 years and 1 parent (n = 61), who completed sleep, itch, and AD-specific questionnaires; clinicians assessed disease severity. All children wore actigraphy watches for a 1-week objective sleep assessment.

Results

PROMIS sleep disturbance parent proxy reliability was high (Cronbach α = 0.90) and was differentiated among Patient-Oriented Eczema
