NO
To determine whether wearing heat-generating undergarments is associated with worsening of itch in patients with atopic dermatitis using a time-stratified case-crossover design.
Others
Observational
Exploratory
Not applicable
Odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for association between wearing heat-generating undergarments and worsening of itch, comparing the index day (Day A: worst itch day within 7 days) with the reference day (Day A-7: same weekday one week prior), assessed by conditional logistic regression including season-stratified analysis
1) Mean difference in Worst Itch NRS (0-10) between Day A and Day A-7
2) Proportion of participants with MCID or greater worsening of itch on Day A vs. Day A-7
3) Effect of heat-generating undergarments after adjustment for same-day factors (sweating, exercise, air conditioning use, etc.)
4) Association between undergarment brand/fit and itch severity (exploratory)
Observational
