Key clinical point: The use of probiotic supplementation reduced disease severity in adult patients with atopic dermatitis (AD).
Major finding: Probiotic supplementation vs placebo led to a significant reduction in the Scoring AD index (mean difference −7.90; 95% CI −7.25 to−6.92), but no significant improvements in skin severity and itch severity.
Study details: Findings are from a meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials including 241 adults with AD, of which 128 received probiotics and 113 received placebo.
Disclosures: This study was funded by a grant from Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
