Change from baseline in EASI score
Time frame: From baseline to 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months post- Dupixent initiation
Four AD disease characteristics [erythema, thickness (induration, papulation, and edema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification] will each be assessed for severity by the Investigator or designee on a scale of "0" (absent) through "3" (severe). In addition, the area of AD involvement will be assessed as a percentage of each body area assessed: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs, and converted to a score of 0 to 6. In each body region, the area is expressed as 0 (0%), 1 (1% to 9%), 2 (10% to 29%), 3 (30% to 49%), 4 (50% to 69%), 5 (70% to 89%), or 6 (90% to 100%). Total score is the sum of all subscores. EASI is a composite index with scoresEASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0-72. Higher scores indicate worse conditions. Data will be assessed to understand (1) the real-world effectiveness of of Dupixent in a heterogeneic population and (2) to characterize disease burden and unmet need in Canadian participants who initiate treatment for msAD.
