Interpretability in atopic dermatitis: all about the anchor

Abstract

However, the authors used a strict definition for the 'validated algorithm-based' diagnosis of HS, and the sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities of the 'validated algorithmbased' HS population were consistent with previous studies, minimizing classification bias.Finally, the authors should be congratulated for the robustness of their study in terms of its design, opening a new methodological avenue in the pharmacoepidemiology field, where diagnostic criteria are lacking. This study confirmed that the prevalence of HS is not more than 0Á7-1%.
