Feasibility and Acceptability of Patient-Reported Outcomes Collection in Routine Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis Care.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and chronic skin disease that adversely impacts physical, mental, and social health. Because patients' experience of AD may not correlate with traditional clinician-reported assessments of disease burden, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are important for understanding the full experience of AD in children and their caregivers. In this pilot study involving 153 children with AD, we found that collecting PROs during routine pediatric AD care is both feasible and acceptable. These findings support future efforts to implement PROs in clinical practice to promote patient-centered care and facilitate shared decision-making.
