TLDR
The extent of lesions according to the rule of nines showed interobserver variability mostly for patients with lesions of moderate intensity involving 20-60% of body surface, but variations subsided especially for oozing/crusts and lichenifications.
Abstract
Background: We have previously reported how the SCORAD index was designed. This cumulative index combines objective (extent and intensity of lesions) and subjective (daytime pruritu

Temporal shifts in the skin microbiome associated with disease flares and treatment in children with atopic dermatitis

TL;DR: Findings reveal linkages between microbial communities and inflammatory diseases such as AD, and demonstrate that as compared with culture-based studies, higher resolution examination of microbiota associated with human disease provides novel insights into global shifts of bacteria relevant to disease progression and treatment.

A mixture of prebiotic oligosaccharides reduces the incidence of atopic dermatitis during the first six months of age

TL;DR: Results show for the first time a beneficial effect of prebiotics on the development of atopic dermatitis in a high risk population of infants and it appears likely that oligosaccharides modulate postnatal immune development by altering bowel flora and have a potential role in primary allergy prevention during infancy.
