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.

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.
