Description
Carlos Chivardi and colleagues report a 2026 pilot study from the UK and Irish A-STAR register for moderate to severe atopic eczema. The register follows children and adults who start or switch systemic immunomodulatory treatment in routine care. The pilot covered 120 participants, with 92 adults and 28 children, and tracked care use and quality of life for up to one year.
Costs were built from visits, emergency care, hospital stays, specialist contacts, and therapy prices using national tariffs, while quality of life came from the EQ-5D questionnaire. Adults used more care than children in the pilot, and the work tests whether register data are complete enough for later cost-effectiveness studies.
