Agreement Between Dermatologic and Pediatric Researchers in Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis in Children

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index is a widely applied instrument for measuring the severity of atopic dermatitis (AD), but few studies have evaluated the interobserver agreement between different disciplines. A cross-sectional study of 21 children with AD evaluated by dermatology and pediatric researchers found excellent agreement between the SCORAD, the objective SCORAD, and the Three Item Severity score, confirming the applicability of these scores by nondermatologists.
