Key clinical point: Geriatric patients experienced more profound sleep disturbance (SD) despite having similar severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) as younger adult patients with AD.
Major finding: Geriatric age was not associated with severity of AD as measured by Eczema Area and Severity Index score (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.47; P = .3269). However, geriatric patients with AD spent an increased number of nights with SD from eczema (aOR, 2.14; P = .0142), experienced fatigue (aOR, 1.81; P = .0313), and had trouble staying asleep (aOR, 2.26; P = .0030).
Study details: Findings are from a cross-sectional, dermatology practice-based study conducted between 2014 and 2019 and included adults diagnosed with AD.
Disclosures: This study was supported by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Dermatology Foundation, and an unrestricted research grant from Galderma. The authors declared no conflict of interests.
