Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease often associated with non-atopic comorbidities. Recently, a severity-dependent relationship between AD and sleep/mental health diseases has been proposed. However, few studies investigated these comorbidities and their association with AD severity through validated questionnaires. This study aimed to use a set of validated instruments to assess the impact of AD on sleep and psychological disorders and estimate the association of itch and AD severity with sleep disorders and psychological symptoms, distinguishing between clinical-oriented and patient-oriented measures.
