Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex, chronic skin disorder with a broad spectrum of clinical aspects, characterized by abnormal skin barrier function. This has a significant impact on patients' quality of life (QoL), which represents a crucial parameter for their wellbeing. This study assessed the QoL of patients with AD by following parameters such as itching, disturbance of sleep, disturbance of play activity, and community activities. The study included 64 patients clinically diagnosed with AD, aged 0 to 16 years. QoL of patients with AD was measured by evaluating the QoL indices for infants and young children (IDQoL-Infants' Dermatitis Quality of Life Index) and the QoL for children over 4 years (CDQoL-Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index). The severity of the disease was also monitored by evaluating the SCORAD index. The major symptom for atopic dermatitis, pruritus, was found most frequently in our study and influenced patients' QoL. The study showed that the above questionnaires are efficient tools for correlating AD severity with QoL even in younger patients and could be included in current guidelines. This is the first study that analyzed the QoL of pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis in Romania and can constitute the basis for elaborating a more comprehensive disease management guidelines.

Atopic dermatitis is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease. It is often the first indicator of allergic diseases, and a certain percentage of patients are affected by allergic rhinitis and/or asthma as a consequence. The study aimed to investigate the link between atopic dermatitis and comorbidity in family medicine. In the specialist family medicine practice Osijek, a retrospective study was conducted in the period from January 1, 2016 to July 1, 2017 on the percentage of patients with atopic dermatitis in the total number of patients, and their comorbid diseases. The data source was the E-chart. The results showed that 195 (10.53%) out of 2056 patients had atopic dermatitis, 80 (41%) patients had atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis, 34 (17.4%) asthma, 132 (67.7%) infections, 59 (30.3%) gastrointestinal disturbances, and 68 (34.3%) had mental disorders. Patients up to 18 years old were more likely to have infections, and adult patients were exposed to chronic stress. The most commonly used drug was loratadine (60.5%), while mometasone was the most commonly administered topical drug (40%). The result of this research showed the steps of the ˝atopic march˝. Atopic dermatitis is followed by changes in the skin and its progression to other organ systems in most of the patients.

“…Dewi, Tina, & Nurzalmariah (2017) also mentioned that personal hygiene can influence dermatitis, while Bhuiyan, Sikder, Wadud, Ahmed, & Faruq (2016) stated that personal hygiene influences skin disease. Similarly, Bonamonte et al (2019) found that poor personal hygiene was a risk factor for dermatitis.…”
