The humanistic burden of atopic dermatitis in Greece: a cross-sectional study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial burden in adult Greek patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) using validated tools and to investigate factors that influence AD's humanistic burden. This observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in Greece (January-September 2023) with 150 adult members of the patient association "Epidermia", all diagnosed with AD. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, including socio-demographic details, clinical history, AD severity (using the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure [POEM]), QoL, sleep disorders, and psychological health. Based on POEM scores, 11% of participants had clear/almost clear skin, 27% had mild eczema, 51% had moderate eczema, and 12% had severe/very severe eczema. AD had a moderate or very/extremely large impact on QoL for 29% and 42% of participants, respectively. Insomnia affected 55%, while 31% had mild anxiety, 23% had moderate/severe anxiety, 10% had moderate depression, and 8% had moderately severe/severe depression. AD severity was associated with reduced QoL and higher rates of insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Our study highlights significant associations between AD severity, QoL, and psychosocial factors, emphasizing the need for comprehensive management strategies.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
