Study design details

Main study objective

This study aimed to estimate: i. incidence rates of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) in the general adult population ii. incidence rates of CTCL in adult patients with diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (AD) iii. incidence rates of CTCL in adult patients receiving treatment for severe AD

Outcomes

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, Event rates for CTCL in the general population were stratified by sex, age group and year. Event rates among patients with AD were stratified by sex and age

Data analysis plan

This is a cohort study describing population incidence rates of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), patient-level incidence rates of CTCL following diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (AD), and patient-level incidence rates of CTCL following treatment for severe AD.
