Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, systemic disease that has a multifactorial etiology, where immune system disorders and epidermal barrier dysfunction are added to the influence of genetic and environmental factors. Dupilumab has been approved by United States and the European Union regulatory agencies in 2017 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD in adult patients who are candidates for systemic treatment. In this short report, we present a retrospective, multicentric study, in which five hospitals in Andalusia, Spain, have taken part. Our objective is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of dupilumab in patients with moderate-to-severe AD treated with dupilumab with at least 52 weeks of follow-up.
