Discordance Between Physician- and Patient-Reported Disease Severity in Adults with Atopic Dermatitis: A US Cross-Sectional Survey

Abstract: BackgroundThere is limited understanding of severity rating of atopic dermatitis in clinical practice.ObjectivesTo evaluate the agreement between physician- and patient-rated severity of atopic dermatitis.MethodsData were collected from the 2014 Adelphi US Atopic Dermatitis Disease Specific Programme, a cross-sectional survey of physicians and their patients with a history of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis; patients voluntarily completed a questionnaire. Current disease severity (mild/moderate/severe), b… Show more

“…Although there is limited information about how AD severity is actually rated by patients and physicians, there is a reported discrepancy between how physicians and patients rate the severity of AD: patients tend to focus more on skin‐related QoL outcomes while clinicians focus more on sleep disturbance . The Panel unanimously agreed that effective communication between patients and physicians should be encouraged to ensure the management of atopic dermatitis is directed towards the needs of the patient and that patient‐reported measures of disease severity are likely to be a useful adjunct to objective clinician assessment.…”

“…The report was provided to the panel, and a second round of voting was undertaken. Statements voted on in round 2 (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) May 2018) were fewer and comprised re-phrased items for which there was either no consensus or for which wording clarification was suggested in round 1 voting. A further anonymised summary report was prepared after round 2 voting.…”

“…To confirm known-groups validity, mean ADCT total scores were compared across adjacent subgroups of patients based on PGAD responses (Excellent, Very good, Good, Fair, Poor) and categories of DLQI responses: no effect on patient life (score range: 0-1), a small effect (2-5), a moderate effect (6-10), a very large effect (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20), an extremely large effect (21-30) [36] (Table 1). Patients in a worse PGAD or DLQI band subgroup were expected to display poorer AD control (i.e., higher mean ADCT total scores, indicating more severe symptoms/greater impact) than patients in a better PGAD or DLQI band subgroup.…”

“…Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a systemic, inflammatory skin condition [1,2] characterized by intense pruritus, eczematous lesions, swelling, and pain [3][4][5][6]. With increasing awareness of the substantial patient burden associated with long-term uncontrolled AD [3,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13], especially as it relates to sleep disturbance, quality of life, and work or school performance [6,[14][15][16][17][18][19], assessment of patient selfreported disease control has been deemed crucial for clinical evaluation of AD [15,20,21].…”
