Global Report on Atopic Dermatitis 2022

The report summarizes all known aspects of atopic dermatitis and presents the disparities regarding the burden of disease and care, resulting in unmet needs. Despite a common perception that atopic dermatitis would be mainly a ‘western’ and industrialized country disease, this is not the case as shown in this global report. Recent treatment innovations have not solved existing inequalities, due to lack of access and affordability. These disparities need to be urgently addressed with universally accessible healthcare systems to provide personalized and targeted care for patients with atopic dermatitis who may depend on care across the lifespan. Governments and other stakeholders have a key role to play in addressing these pressing issues of access and affordability of current and future treatments.

The International League of Dermatological Societies is the funder of the GADA project and the 2022 report.
