Clinicophotobiological Characterization of Photoaggravated Atopic Dermatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Photoaggravated atopic dermatitis (PAD) is estimated to affect 1.4% to 16% of patients with AD but remains poorly characterized with limited published data.

Objective

To provide detailed clinical and photobiological characterization of PAD.

Design, setting, and participants

This case series study used cross-sectional data collected from 120 consecutive patients diagnosed with PAD from January 2015 to October 2019 at a tertiary center referral unit for photobiology.

Main outcomes and measures

Routinely collected standardized clinical and photobiological data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and regression analysis explored associations between demographic and clinical data.

Results

Of 869 patients who underwent photoinvestigation, 12
