Key clinical point: Fatigue is a common symptom in children with atopic dermatitis (AD), particularly those with moderate-to-severe AD, and thus should be considered in clinical practice and trials.
Major finding: Most children had no (38.6%) or mild (32.1%) parent-proxy fatigue, but 27.2% had moderate fatigue and 2.0% had severe fatigue. Higher proportions of children with moderate-to-severe parent-proxy Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Pediatric fatigue scores were those with moderate (25.7%/1.4%) and severe (39.3%/5.4%) AD vs mild AD (18.0%/0.0%), as determined by Investigator’s Global Assessment, especially those with 5-6 (44.4%/0.0%) or 7 (44.2%/5.2%) nights of sleep disturbance from eczema.
Study details: This cross-sectional observational study included 248 children aged 0-17 years with AD.
Disclosures: This study was funded by the US National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
