Abstract

The article discusses the adoption and use of the vIGA-AD scale, a validated scale for measuring the severity of atopic dermatitis (AD). The scale was developed in 2016 to provide a standardized and representative measure of AD severity. The study analyzed data from ClinicalTrials.gov and PubMed to assess the scale's uptake in the AD research community. The results showed an increase in the proportion of studies and publications using the vIGA-AD scale over the years. The article also highlights the limitations of the scale and suggests using it in combination with other outcome measures. The authors conclude that the vIGA-AD scale has been widely adopted by researchers and sponsors as a validated measure of AD severity. [Extracted from the article]
