Although there are many treatment options for AD, efficacy is limited by poor adherence, especially for topical medications. Patient preferences for certain vehicle formulations and frequencies of administration, as well as patient aversion to certain adverse effects, can negatively impact adherence and treatment success. Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are used to assess preferences in a manner comparable to clinical decision-making. Six discrete choice experiments on AD were analyzed to create a comprehensive data sheet of patient and physician preferences for medication.
