Thesis's topic:
Disease burden, outcome and resource utilization of atopic dermatitis in children and adults in Sweden.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is common in children and adults. Although effective treatment can promote recovery, there is incomplete knowledge about how AD is treated in Sweden today, about the disease burden and related costs.
The overall aim of this thesis is to assess the burden of AD including costs to the health care system, to the patient and their families, assessing the QoL and health outcomes.
A particular focus lies upon the description of number and type of healthcare visits, the type, frequency, sequence and combination of treatments and the overall economic burden that AD entails. Personal burden in terms of reduced QoL, days off work, time for treatment and out-of-pocket costs are also assessed. Longitudinal modelling analyses will compare health outcomes, such as health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and the related costs of various treatment strategies.
