Overview / Abstract: |
Target Audience Program Overview AD has a tremendous negative impact on the quality of life of both patients and their families. The disease is associated with several comorbidities, including mental health disorders (depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD), hypertension, obesity, infections, osteoporosis, fractures, vitiligo, alopecia areata, visual problems, and dental issues. Patients are more accident-prone and sleep disturbances are common which persist even during periods of remission. This online curriculum will examine the clinical characteristics, the current understanding of immuno-pathophysiology, and the psychosocial and quality of life impact of AD on patients across age groups. Strategies to individualize treatment for patients with atopic dermatitis will be discussed. Learning Objectives Implement effective strategies for comprehensively managing AD in children and adults. |
