Background

Atopic eczema is a common childhood skin problem linked with asthma, food allergy and allergic rhinitis that impairs quality of life.

Objectives

To determine whether advising parents to apply daily emollients in the first year can... Read More about Emollient application from birth to prevent eczema in high-risk children: the BEEP RCT.

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... Read More about Emollients for preventing atopic eczema: Cost‐effectiveness analysis of the BEEP trial.

Background

Skin barrier dysfunction precedes eczema development. We tested whether daily use of emollient in the first year could prevent eczema in high-risk children.

Methods

We did a multicentre, pragmatic, parallel-group, randomised contr... Read More about Daily emollient during infancy for prevention of eczema: the BEEP randomised controlled trial.
