Journal Article
Sach, T. H., Lartey, S. T., Davies, C., Chalmers, J. R., Haines, R. H., Bradshaw, L. E., …Williams, H. C. (2023). Emollients for preventing atopic eczema: Cost‐effectiveness analysis of the BEEP trial. Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 53(10), 1011-1019. https://doi.org/10.1111/cea.14381

Background Recent discoveries have led to the suggestion that enhancing skin barrier from birth might prevent eczema and food allergy. Objective To determine the cost‐effectiveness of daily all‐over‐body application of emollient during the firs...
