Atopic dermatitis parental education of pediatric patients is associated with a significant reduction in disease severity and thus should be implemented into daily clinical practice.
Atopic dermatitis educational programs are encouraged to incorporate the following areas of focus: skincare, diet, psychological managements, and topical steroid usage.
Follow-up duration modifies the effect with longer follow-up showing inferior results, indicating that iterations of implementation might be promising in providing long-standing benefits.
The existing body of evidence was rate as very low to moderate for certainty due to risk for performance and detection bias.
Contamination was likely due to the single center design of the studies included, suggesting that the true effect might be even larger.
