Abstract

Real-world disease management of atopic dermatitis (AD) is hampered by a lack of consistency between providers that treat AD regarding assessment of severity, disease activity, and quality of life. Variability and inconsistency in documentation makes it difficult to understand the impact of AD. This study summarizes AD-related symptoms and concerns captured in unstructured qualitative provider notes by healthcare providers during visits with patients with AD.
