Atopic eczema: its impact on the family and financial cost
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of childhood atopic eczema on families and assess the personal financial cost of its management. DESIGN: Cross sectional survey. SETTING: Paediatric dermatology and paediatric diabetology outpatient clinics. PATIENTS: Parents of 48 randomly selected children with atopic eczema and 46 with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The impact on family score, the reported cost of relevant medical treatments, medical consultations, relevant hospitalisation, and income loss. RESULTS: Families of children with moderate or severe atopic eczema had a significantly higher impact on family score than families of diabetic children. A conservative estimate of the annual personal financial cost of managing mild, moderate, and severe eczema was Aus$330, 818, and 1255, respectively. The financial cost to the community for the management of atopic eczema in the study groups was greater. The personal financial cost of managing eczema was greater than for asthma. CONCLUSION: Childhood atopic eczema has a profound impact on the social, personal, emotional, and financial perspectives of families.

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.
