Video content above is prompted by the following:

• What diagnostic criteria are considered, and what are some of the challenges of diagnosis (e.g., heterogeneity based on age, skin color, etc.)?
• How can the complexity and heterogeneity of atopic dermatitis potentially lead to misdiagnosis or late diagnosis?
  • What tips do you have for diagnosing and determining disease severity?
• How do you define AD disease severity? What parameters do you consider when making the diagnosis of mild, moderate, or severe disease?
  • How do you incorporate patient-reported outcomes into determining disease severity?
• How have advances in treatments and in understanding atopic dermatitis changed how we think about severity of disease, if at all?
