Measurement properties of patient?reported outcome measures for eczema control: a systematic review (2021)
Journal Article
Stuart, B., Howells, L., Pattinson, R., Chalmers, J., Grindlay, D., Rogers, N., …Thomas, K. (2021). Measurement properties of patient‐reported outcome measures for eczema control: a systematic review. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 35(10), 1987-1993. https://doi.org/10.1111/jdv.17335

Atopic eczema (herein referred to as ‘eczema’) is a skin disease characterized by remitting and relapsing symptoms. The Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) initiative was developed to establish a core outcome set (COS) for eczema to be mea...

Scoping the international impact from four independent national dermatology trials (2020)
Journal Article
Williams, H. C., Rogers, N. K., Chalmers, J. R., & Thomas, K. S. (2021). Scoping the international impact from four independent national dermatology trials. Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 46(4), 657-662. https://doi.org/10.1111/ced.14506

Background: Research impact describes whether and how research results in wider benefits to society beyond academic publication. Little is known about translation of clinical trial research into dermatological practice. Aim: We scoped international i...

Outcome assessment in dermatology clinical trials and cochrane reviews: call for a dermatology?specific outcome taxonomy (2020)
Journal Article
Lange, T., Kottner, J., Weberschock, T., Hahnel, E., Apfelbacher, C., Brandstetter, S., …Schmitt, J. (2021). Outcome assessment in dermatology clinical trials and cochrane reviews: call for a dermatology‐specific outcome taxonomy. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 35(2), 523-535. https://doi.org/10.1111/jdv.16854

Background: Standardized outcome reporting is crucial for trial evidence synthesis and translation of findings into clinical decision making. The OMERACT 2.0 Filter and COMET outcome domain taxonomy propose frameworks for consistent reporting of outc...

British Journal of Dermatology, 183(3), 524-536. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjd.18780

Background: Eczema control has been identified as an important outcome by key stakeholders in eczema research (including patients, carers, healthcare professionals and researchers) but no validated instruments for the domain have been identified. Obj... Read More about Development and initial testing of a new instrument to measure the experience of eczema control in adults and children: Recap of atopic eczema (RECAP).

Evidence-based healthcare requires that relevant outcomes for patients are included in clinical trials which investigating treatment effects allowing subsequent systematic reviews to summarize all relevant evidence to guide clinical practice. Current... Read More about Cochrane reviews and dermatological trials outcome concordance: why Core Outcome Sets could make trial results more usable.

Strategies used for measuring long-term control in atopic dermatitis trials: A systematic review (2016)
Journal Article
