This regestry study is aimed to characterize the medical care and drug treatment under real-life conditions among Chinese patients with moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis who are not well controlled by topical therapies.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease, resulting in itchy, red, and skin lesion. A survey conducted in 2014 in 39 tertiary hospitals of 15 provinces in mainland China has shown that the incidence of AD in outpatients (7.8%) has been raised in recent years. Among topical therapy of AD, corticosteroids are first line therapy. In patients with extensive and severe dermatitis, topical therapy may be insufficient. Such patients may require the addition of either oral corticosteroid or systemic immunosuppressive therapy and even phototherapy. There is no clear recommendation treatment for each kind of patients with different severity yet and there are still huge unmet medical needs for treatment. There is not clear recommendation grade for these therapy in Chinese AD guideline and no published data to demonstrate current treatment situation in real clinical practise. The goal of clinical registry study is to document the use and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions under real-life conditions. This study will help understand the clinical characteristics, treatment utilization, treatment patterns, as well as disease-related outcomes and cost among AD patients in China.
