Atopic Dermatitis: Beyond Scratching the Surface

Evolving Management Strategies for Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis This Evidence-Based Best Practices™ program addresses the needs of dermatologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory condition with manifestations in the skin and other organ systems throughout the body. Increasing in prevalence over the last 2 decades, the disease places tremendous burdens on adult, adolescent, and pediatric patients, as well as family members and caregivers. A better understanding of disease pathophysiology and effects on patient health and quality of life highlight the need for prompt diagnosis and proactive management. Moreover, research into the mechanisms underlying atopic dermatitis pathogenesis and progression supports the development of new approaches to disease characterization, ongoing patient monitoring, and treatment. With the overall goal of improving outcomes for patients with active atopic dermatitis, the program will integrate clinical data and professional experience into actionable recommendations that can be used to individualize care and improve patient-clinician communication.
