What is the eSCORAD

 

The eSCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis) is an international accepted and standardised tool, which was developed to objectively measure the extent and severity of atopic dermatitis. Clinicians can use this tool before, during or after treatment to assess the effectiveness of medical intervention.

How to use the eSCORAD

 

The eSCORAD utilizes both objective (extent and severity of lesions) and subjective (pruritus and insomnia) criteria. Assessment is conducted via a 3-step approach:

 

1) First, the extent of the affected area is calculated as a percentage of the entire body. The first criteria accounts for a maximum of 20 points of the overall score.

 

2) Second, the Intensity of the atopic dermatitis, including redness, swelling, oozing, thickening and dryness, is calculated on a numerical scale, from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). The second criteria accounts for a maximum of 63 points of the overall score.

 

3) Third, the subjective symptoms, pruritus and insomnia, are given a numerical score by the patient, from 0 (none) to 10 (severe), respectively. The third criteria accounts for a maximum of 20 points of the overall score.

 

In practice there is a differentiation between the SCORAD and the objective SCORAD (oSCORAD). The oSCORAD is calculated by adding the extent of the affected area and the intensity of the AD. The oSCORAD can range between 0 – 83. In addition to the oSCORAD, the SCORAD includes the subjective symptoms assessed by the patient. Therefore the SCORAD can range between 0 – 103.

 

Instructions

Impact of Atopic Dermatitis

 

Atopic eczema is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by patches of red, cracked, oozy or leathery skin.

 

The condition is chronic, prone to relapse and often extremely pruritic. While atopic eczema may occur at any age, it is most common in childhood and severity varies throughout the life cycle. The exact cause is unclear but it is known to result from a combination of genetic (hereditary) and environmental factors. Atopic eczema has a severely negative effect on quality of life (QoL), with patients reporting skin damage, soreness, sleep deprivation (due to itching), activity restriction and depression. The lifestyle burden can also not be underestimated with frequent doctor visits, special clothing and the need to constantly apply messy topical ointments adding to the patient distress.

 

Children with severe cases tend to have a smaller social circle and participate in fewer group activities than their peers. They are also at higher risk for developing depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders.

 

The burden is carried by parents, who report of a lack of sleep and privacy (often due to co-sleeping), treatment-related financial expenditures, and feelings of hopelessness, guilt, and depression. It is estimated that parents of children with moderate to severe atopic eczema spend up to 3 hours a day caring for their children's skin.
