Guidelines of care for the management of atopic dermatitis

Abstract: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, pruritic inflammatory dermatosis that affects up to 25% of children and 2-3% of adults. This guideline addresses important clinical questions that arise in AD management and care, providing recommendations based on the available evidence. In this third of four sections, treatment of AD with phototherapy and systemic immunomodulators, antimicrobials, and antihistamines is reviewed, including indications for use and the risk-benefit profile of each treatment option.

“…AD affects an estimated 15% to 30% of children and 2% to 10% of adults in industrialized countries and causes significant difficulties in health‐related quality of life from disease symptoms and the stigma associated with a highly visible skin condition 1, 3. Most patients with AD have mild to moderate disease and are often treated with topical therapies; systemic modalities are recommended only for patients with moderate to severe disease 4. Patients with mild to moderate AD are typically treated with topical emollients, corticosteroids, and calcineurin inhibitors 2.…”

“…However, because AD patients often gradually acquire drug resistance, there is documented risk, particularly with systemic corticosteroid use. For patients with severe AD, particularly in adults, phototherapy, methotrexate, azathioprine, cyclosporine, and mycophenolate mofetil have been successfully used instead of corticosteroids [31]. A drug that can be safely used as a systemic immunosuppressant is sought for the treatment of severe AD.…”

“…AD-relevant medications were also included as a single, grouped category and represented as a binary variable. These medications include topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, prescription emollients, antihistamines, oral corticosteroids, phototherapy, cyclosporine A, interferon gamma, doxepin, azathioprine, methotrexate, and mycophenolate mofetil [14], [16]. Patient ages were calculated by subtracting date of birth from March 15, 2017.…”
