The Epidemiology of Atopic Dermatitis, Associated Comorbidities, and Treatment Patterns in the United Kingdom (UK)
In Brief
An observational study evaluating No intervention for Atopic Dermatitis Eczema and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 148,166 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Atopic dermatitis (AD), commonly called eczema, is one of the most frequently occurring skin conditions. It is estimated to affect around one fifth of children in developed countries and is also becoming increasingly common in less developed countries. Exact estimates of how common eczema is, vary considerably and there has not been an in-depth analysis of the number of people with eczema in the UK. It is also unclear which groups of people are most affected and which treatment options are being used. Most people with eczema are managed by their general practitioner (GP) with only a few people requiring specialist care. GP records therefore provide an excellent opportunity to explore how common eczema is and which treatments are being used currently.
