This article discusses the disease burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) and the need for more holistic approaches in its treatment. The study by Eyerich et al. provides valuable real-life data and subgroup analyses, highlighting the asymmetrically distributed burden of AD and the potential for targeted therapies. The research was conducted in multiple countries, allowing for a systematic analysis of diverse populations. The study shows that patients receiving systemic medications have a lower disease burden, but there is still a substantial burden in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding the factors contributing to the burden and implementing holistic approaches in managing AD. [Extracted from the article]
