Comparison of Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure and Patient-Oriented Scoring Atopic Dermatitis vs Eczema Area and Severity Index and other measures of atopic dermatitis: a validation study.
Little is known about the measurement properties of Patient-Oriented Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (PO-SCORAD) in adults with atopic dermatitis (AD). Even less is known about how PO-SCORAD performs compared with the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM). The purpose of this study was to examine the measurement properties of PO-SCORAD and compare them with those of POEM. The investigators concluded that PO-SCORAD and POEM had good construct and cross-cultural validity, reliability, and responsiveness in adults with AD and were feasible for use in clinical trials and practice.

A core domain set for hidradenitis suppurativa trial outcomes: an international Delphi process.
This article describes the outcome of six stakeholder groups participating in a Delphi process to create a core outcomes set (COS) for hidradenitis suppurative (HS) research. Five anonymous e-Delphi rounds and four face-to-face consensus meetings were conducted. A total of 41 patients and 52 healthcare professionals (HCPs) from 19 countries and 4 continents participated. The consensus adopted included five domains were approved: disease course, physical signs, HS-specific quality of life, pain, and global assessments.

Towards global consensus on core outcomes for hidradenitis suppurativa research: an update from the HISTORIC consensus meetings I and II.
This article describes the outcome of two in-person consensus meetings to create a core outcomes set (COS) for hidradenitis suppurative (HS) research. Forty-one individuals from 13 countries and 4 continents were included. The list of items discussed had been developed from patient interviews, a systematic literature review and a healthcare professional survey. Nine items were excluded and seven domains were approved which included: disease course, physical signs, HS-specific quality of life, satisfaction, symptoms, pain and global assessments.

Systematic review of diagnostic criteria used in atopic dermatitis randomized controlled trials.
This study sought to determine the most commonly used atopic dermatitis diagnostic criteria in randomized controlled trials internationally. The results highlighted the lack of uniformity and documentation of atopic dermatitis diagnostic criteria in randomized controlled trials for atopic dermatitis. The investigators recommended harmonizing the diagnostic criteria for atopic dermatitis in future randomized controlled trials.
