Setting Goals for Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis Treatment

Panelists discuss the goals of treating atopic dermatitis, focusing on symptom control and quality of life, with treatment differing for children and adults, and emphasize using assessment tools such as Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)-75/90, Investigator Global Assessment (IGA), and itch scores alongside patient-reported outcomes to guide decisions while also considering disease severity and the impact of atopic comorbidities in treatment approaches.
