Hand eczema classification: a cross-sectional, multicentre study of the aetiology and morphology of hand eczema
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hand eczema is a long-lasting disease with a high prevalence in the background population. The disease has severe, negative effects on quality of life and sometimes on social status. Epidemiological studies have identified risk factors for onset and prognosis, but treatment of the disease is rarely evidence based, and a classification system for different subdiagnoses of hand eczema is not agreed upon. Randomized controlled trials investigating the treatment of hand eczema are called for. For this, as well as for clinical purposes, a generally accepted classification system for hand eczema is needed. OBJECTIVES: The present study attempts to characterize subdiagnoses of hand eczema with respect to basic demographics, medical history and morphology. METHODS: Clinical data from 416 patients with hand eczema from 10 European patch test clinics were assessed. RESULTS: A classification system for hand eczema is proposed. CONCLUSIONS: It is suggested that this classification be used in clinical work and in clinical trials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
