Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, pruritic, inflammatory dermatosis that affects up to 25% of children
and 2% to 3% of adults. This guideline addresses important clinical questions that arise in the
management and care of AD, providing updated and expanded recommendations based on the available
evidence. In this first of 4 sections, methods for the diagnosis and monitoring of disease, outcomes
measures for assessment, and common clinical associations that affect patients with AD are
discussed. Known risk factors for the development of disease are also reviewed. ( J Am Acad Dermatol
2014;70:338-51.)

Key words: assessment scales; atopic dermatitis; biomarkers; clinical associations; criteria; diagnosis;
risk factors.
