“…2 Recently a systematic review highlighted a major research gap, with only one population-based study assessing the association between eczema and educational attainment. 3 The only study included in the review did not find an association between childhood AD and school performance at age 11 years. 4 However, it is plausible that AD, as a chronic disease, might have an adverse impact on educational attainment.…”

Summary This review forms part of a series of annual updates that summarize the evidence base for atopic eczema (AE). It presents the key findings from 11 systematic reviews published in 2016 that focus on AE outcome assessment, disease impact and nomenclature. Systematic reviews on the treatment and prevention of AE are summarized in Part 1 of this update, and systematic reviews on the epidemiology of and risk factors for AE are summarized in Part 2. Six reviews summarized what outcome measurement instruments have been used in published AE trials, or summarized validation studies for the available instruments. These reviews were used to inform consensus decisions by the Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema initiative. Although validated instruments exist for clinical signs and patient‐reported symptoms, there are currently no validated instruments for capturing quality of life or long‐term control. Four reviews examined the impact of AE on children and their families, but few studies were included. One birth cohort study found no association between AE and educational attainment at 11 years. AE has a moderate impact on health‐related quality of life and a substantial impact on family life. AE is a major risk factor for occupational hand dermatitis, and it is advised that young atopic individuals are informed about high‐risk occupations. Further efforts are required to standardize the nomenclature for AE, which is also commonly known as ‘atopic dermatitis’ or ‘eczema’, and preferred terms vary around the world.

“…Although it is currently unknown whether AD affects educational attainment, the better socioeconomic profile in families with children with AD would argue for better school performance. Additionally, the continual guidance given to children with AD away from future manual labour to prevent occupational irritant contact dermatitis on the hands, could further stimulate the likelihood of strong academic achievements in children with AD.…”

“…Educational achievement is of utmost importance and is considered a ‘hard endpoint’ as low income is associated with increased risk of morbidity and all‐cause mortality . Unfortunately, there is almost no insight into educational achievements in patients with AD, well‐illustrated by only one study included in a recent systematic review article in this journal . Ruijsbroek et al .…”
