Validation of patient-reported outcomes information system sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment in adults with atopic dermatitis.
This study examined the measurement properties of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement System (PROMIS) Sleep Disturbance (SD) and Sleep-Related Impairment (SRI) questionnaires to assess sleep disturbances in adults with atopic dermatitis (AD). The authors performed a prospective dermatology-practice-based study using questionnaires and evaluation by a dermatologist (n=420). Both questionnaires showed good construct validity, internal consistency, and feasibility to assess sleep in patients with AD.

Validation of four single-item patient-reported assessments of sleep in adult atopic dermatitis patients.
The purpose of this study was to assess the measurement properties of sleep-related items from the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), SCORing AD (SCORAD), 5-dimensions of itch (5D), and Itch-Related Quality of Life (ItchyQOL) in adults with atopic dermatitis (AD). Results showed modest overlap and weak to moderate concordance of responses to the different assessments. The researchers conclude that sleep-related items from POEM, SCORAD, 5D, and ItchyQOL showed good validity and responsiveness to monitor sleep disturbances in adult AD patients.

Association between the longitudinal course of AD, sleep disturbance, and overall health in US children.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease impacting 13% of children in the United States. It is associated with sleep disturbances. In this paper the investigators sought to examine the associations of AD onset, AD persistence, and comorbid atopic conditions with sleep disturbance and overall health in childhood. This study added to previous studies by demonstrating that comorbid atopy and AD course, particularly early-onset and more persistent AD, were associated with sleep disturbance.
