The registry is part of the international TREAT Registry Taskforce. Atopic eczema is a common (400,000 patients in the Netherlands) chronic, itchy, inflammatory skin disease that can have a major impact on the quality of life of children and adults and their immediate surroundings.
Moderate-to-severe atopic eczema patients can be treated by means of phototherapy or systemic immunomodulating therapy. Of these mostly off-label applied therapies, there is insufficient evidence on the short and long term for the effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, good comparative research and long-term real-life follow-up data are lacking. With the arrival of new expensive treatments it is crucial to get insight into these treatments in order to improve quality of care.
