A Global Measure Dashboard of Patient-Centered Eczema Care
The GPIIEC chose eight measures related to the experience of living with eczema and the provision of medical care and treatments for the condition. Data was collected for each of these measures, which are displayed below.
Long-term Control of Eczema Symptoms
Scores are based on responses to the AD Control Tool
Satisfaction with Eczema Treatments
Self reported satisfaction with current treatments (caregivers and adults)
Life Span Trade-Off
Percent of remaining life span adult patients would trade off in order to be restored to perfect health.
(Derived from EQ5D Utility Scores)
Self-Reported Health
(Compared to Country Average)
Health-related quality of life score (adult average) compared to the health-rated quality of life score for adults with eczema.
Dimensions of Health – Relative Impact
Relative weight of five dimensions of health from EQ5D for adult eczema patients.
Financial Burden – Impacts
Percent of adults and caregivers who reported using savings, borrowing money and/or reducing spending due to eczema. (Higher = More impact)
Shared Decision Making
The percentage of respondents who indicated that the healthcare provider whom they see for eczema asked about their priorities for their eczema care at the most recent visit.
Eczema Education and Training
Respondents who said a health care provider had ever suggested they attend an eczema training program that happens after the office visit.
Access to Dermatologists
The ability for patients to see a dermatologist within a reasonable amount of time improves management of symptoms and helps prevent flares. It may also reduce emergency department use. In each country of interest (COI) below, we’ve identified the number of dermatologists per 100,000 residents for the most recent year that such data is available.
Numbers shown are per 100,000
Evidence-Based Guidelines
Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines are tools that help inform providers to deliver care using the best available research and recommendations. These guidelines may help standardize care and promote optimal health outcomes for patients. This measure quantifies and appraises the quality of guidelines within each COI. Guidelines with a score of 42 or higher meet our definition of a ‘high quality’ guideline.
42 is the cut-off for a high quality guideline
