Study design details

Main study objective

The objective of this study is to evaluate the epidemiological burden of mild, moderate and severe atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and alopecia areata across enrolled dermatology centers.

Outcomes

To evaluate the epidemiological burden of mild, moderate and severe atopic dermatitis, vitiligo and alopecia areata in patients across dermatology centers in India.
Explain the current diagnostic criteria and grading modalities for AD, vitiligo and AA, to understand the burden of disease with a demographic overview Better understand the treatment for the diseases: topical, advanced therapies, surgical interventions and cosmetic procedures, the Unmet needs in diagnosis and management of dermatological disorders. Focus on patients’ perspectives on benefits.

Data analysis plan

Descriptive statistics will be presented to describe patient characteristics.
Categorical covariates will be described by frequency distribution while continuous covariates expressed in terms of their mean and standard deviation or median and interquartile range (IQR) as appropriate.
The bivariate analysis will be conducted to determine if there is any association between the outcome and the exposure (the covariates).
Unadjusted comparisons between groups of covariates and outcomes will be evaluated using appropriate tests: Pearson’s chi-square test will used for dichotomous categorical variables, t-test will be used for continuous variables, and the Mann-Whitney U test for non-parametric variables, p-values will be generated and 5% level of significance will be considered.
In case of multiple testing or stepdown procedure either Tukey HSD or Bonferroni adjustment to p-value will be applied.
