Parent report of sleep health and attention regulation in a cross-sectional study of infants and preschool-aged children with atopic dermatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Older children with atopic dermatitis (AD) suffer from poor sleep and attention problems. However, until recently, the dearth of developmentally sensitive assessment tools impeded characterization in younger children. We aimed to characterize sleep and attention problems in young children with AD and identify modifiable factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional study of children with AD aged 1-4 years was stratified by disease severity (Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure), age, and racial/ethnic groups. Developmentally sensitive surveys assessed attention (Multidimensional Assessment Profile of Attention Regulation), sleep, and itch (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System). Linear regression models identified predictors of sleep health and atten
