Data are presented as % of patients or mean ± standard deviation unless otherwise indicated

AD atopic dermatitis, ADCT Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool, DLQI Dermatology Life Quality Index, NRS numerical rating scale, PMM pattern-mixture model, WPAI:AD Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire specific for Atopic Dermatitis

aP < 0.001 vs. baseline

bPMM range is imputed based on n = 698 for follow-up

cScore range is 0–10, with 10 = worst score

dBased on item 4 of the ADCT

eTotal score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating a greater impact; a change of ≥ 4 points in total score is clinically meaningful, and scores of 0–1 are interpreted as no effect of AD on a patient’s life

fEvaluated among patients who were employed full or part time or were self-employed and worked more than 0 h during the previous 7 days: n = 494, 322, and 278 for baseline, month-12, and long-term timepoints, respectively
