Disease Severity Measures and QoL Impact
Severity scoring of AD (SCORAD), Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Investigators’ Global Assessment (IGA), and Six Area, Six Sign AD (SASSAD) are the most commonly used disease severity instruments. The Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is important for evaluating worst itch intensity.
Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI), Dermatitis Family Impact (DFI), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and Infant’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (IDQOL) are the most frequently used QoL measures.
