Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Dec 16, 2019
Lei D, Yousaf M, Janmohamed SR, et al. - Researchers undertook this prospective dermatology practice-based study to evaluate the measurement properties of sleep-associated items from the Patient- Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), SCORing AD (SCORAD), 5-dimensions of itch (5D) and ItchyQOL in adults with atopic dermatitis (AD). They used questionnaires and a dermatologist performed the assessment (n = 115). Findings revealed modest overlap and weak-moderate concordance of responses to the various evaluations. Moderate correlations with each other were demonstrated by POEM-sleep, SCORADsleep, 5D-sleep and ItchyQOL-sleep, concerning concurrent validity. Experts found good validity and responsiveness of sleep-related items from POEM, SCORAD, 5D and ItchyQOL for monitoring sleep disturbances in adult AD patients.
