Long-term use of oral corticosteroids and safety outcomes for patients with atopic dermatitis.

A recent study found that long-term use of oral corticosteroids for individuals with atopic dermatitis may be associated with a small increased risk of adverse outcomes. The study suggests that healthcare professionals should carefully consider the benefits of oral corticosteroids against the observed small risk of adverse events, while continuously monitoring for any adverse effects. Further research is needed to confirm these findings. The study provides contact information for the corresponding authors and a link to access the full study. [Extracted from the article]
