Patient Journey in Atopic Dermatitis: The Real-World Scenario.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The diagnosis and management of atopic dermatitis (AD) is extensively addressed in detailed clinical guidelines. However, the high heterogeneity regarding presentation and progression and the increasingly broad therapeutic landscape suggest a complex real-world scenario, leading to multiple trajectories of AD patients.

Methods

Using a Delphi methodology for assessing the degree of consensus, we explored the views of a panel of dermatologists regarding the patients' trajectory through the diagnosis (block 1), treatment (block 2), and long-term management (block 3) of AD. Based on a systematic search of the literature, a scientific committee prepared a questionnaire of relevant items that were rated on a 10-point scale (from "totally agree" to "totally disagree")
