Cognitive functioning in children with atopic dermatitis: Pilot observations.
Kevin YuPaige SeeganKatherine LattanzioHannah ChangJoy WanPublished in: Pediatric dermatology (2023)
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease that can adversely affect quality of life and carry significant burdens on physical, emotional, and social health. Recent evidence suggests that AD may also impair cognition, including attention and memory. In a pilot study of six children with AD, we administered a comprehensive battery of assessments to evaluate cognition and behavior and found that this approach was feasible and practical, which will enable the conduct of future larger-scale studies to characterize the impact of AD on cognitive function.
