This is a multicentre, prospective, non-interventional study that aims to describe the treatment patterns of in Atopic dermatitis (AD) patients aged 6 months to 11 years old in Spain: patients' characteristics, disease characteristics, prior treatments for and treatment prescription modalities. As well as to document the real-world effectiveness and safety of dupilumab during the two years of follow up. No diagnostic or therapeutic intervention outside of routine clinical practice will be applied.

Participant-caregiver assessment: Change from baseline in the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index score
The Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (cDLQI) it is a 10-item questionnaire that assesses six different aspects that may affect quality of life, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school performance, personal relationships, and treatment. Each of the 10 questions is scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much) and the overall cDLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question, resulting in a total score between 0-30. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired.
Time frame: From baseline up to 24 months
Participant-caregiver assessment: Change from baseline in the Infant's Dermatology Life Quality Index score
The Infant Dermatology Quality of Life Index (iDLQI) contains 10 questions and a response scale divided into four boxes. Each box gives a point between 0 and 3. The lower number is understood as the most positive for the participant. The index is filled out by a parent to a participating child between the ages of 0 to 5 years. Points from each question are added together and the end-sum represents the score. The sum score can be between 0 and 30. The higher the score the worse the assumed quality of life.
Time frame: From baseline up to 24 months
Participant-caregiver assessment: Change from baseline in the Dermatitis Family Impact (DFI) questionnaire
The DFI is a 10-item disease specific questionnaire assessing the impact of having a child with AD on family Quality of Life (QoL). The DFI questions are scored ranging from 0 to 3, and the total DFI score ranges from 0 to 30. The time frame of reference is the past week, and a higher DFI score indicates greater impairment in family QoL as affected by AD.
Time frame: From baseline up to 24 months
Participant-caregiver assessment: Change from baseline in the patient's Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale (WI-NRS)
WI-NRS is a validated measure of itch severity. Patients will be asked daily to rate the intensity of their worst pruritus (itch) over the past 24 hours, using a 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch). Higher scores indicate more severity.
Time frame: From baseline up to 24 months
Caregiver assessment: Change from baseline in the patient's Worst Itch Scale Numerical Rating Scale (WSI-NRS)
The WSI-NRS is a single-item caregiver-reported. The caregivers describe their child "scratch" or "itch" in the AD-affected area by using numeric response options (0: no scratching/itching to 10: worst scratching/itching). Higher scores indicate more severity.
Time frame: From baseline up to 24 months
Physician assessment: Change from baseline in the eczema severity using the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)
The EASI is calculated by summing 4 separate scores of the (1) head/neck, (2) upper extremities, (3) trunk, and (4) lower extremities. For each of the 4 anatomical regions, the score formula is SxAxM \["S" is the congregate score from the severity of 4 signs: erythema, oedema/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification graded on a discrete scale from 0 to 3, where 0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe, giving S a maximum of 12. "A" represents the area to which AD affects the body, yielding a maximum of 6 points: 0 = 0%, 1 = 1-9%, 2 = 10-29%, 3 = 30-49%, 4 = 50-69%, 5 = 70-89%, and 6 = 90-100%. "M" is a multiplier, which is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4, respectively, for the region affected in those ≥8 years and 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.3, respectively, for those \<8 years. The final EASI score is calculated based on the sum of the scores from the 4 anatomical regions. A higher score means higher AD severity. Scores range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease severity).
Time frame: From baseline up to 24 months
Physician assessment: Percent change from beseline in the Body Surface Area (BSA) (%) affected by AD
BSA affected by AD disease will be assessed for each major section of the body (head, neck, anterior trunk, back, upper limbs, lower limbs, and genitals). It will be reported as a percentage of all major body sections combined.
Time frame: From baseline up to 24 months
Physician assessment: Change in Proportion of patients with Validated Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA)
The IGA is an Investigator-completed assessment scale used to determine severity of AD and clinical response to treatment. It is based on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe).
Time frame: From baseline up to 24 months
Physician assessment: Change from baseline in Biomarkers
Biomarker analysis will be performed, if available, in routine clinical practice and at routine visits
Time frame: From baseline up to 24 months
Number of Adverse Events (AE) / Serious Adverse Events (SAE) / Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI)
The number of events and the percentage of patients who had at least one event will be described.
