We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta\u2010analysis to evaluate the antipruritic effects of systemic AD treatments in pediatric patients with AD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were searched, including studies providing original data on the effects of systemic treatment on pruritus in pediatric patients (&lt;18\u2009years) with AD. Placebo\u2010controlled trials reporting a Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale 4 (PP\u2010NRS4) response were included in a meta\u2010analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 30 studies were included, with most evidence available for dupilumab. Overall, marked improvements of pruritus (50% or greater reduction in pruritus outcome measurements) were found for treatment with cyclosporin A (2\u201316\u2009years), dupilumab (6\u2009months\u201317\u2009years), abrocitinib, and upadacitinib (both 12 and 17\u2009years). Nemolizumab (12\u201317\u2009years) may be promising in reducing pruritus in pediatric patients; however, data are limited. Only five randomized controlled trials could be included in our meta\u2010analysis, in which dupilumab, abrocitinib, and upadacitinib showed a significantly higher probability of achieving a PP\u2010NRS4 response compared with placebo.

As more systemic treatments for AD become available, it will be imperative to incorporate patient\u2010oriented treatment goals such as reduction of pruritus into therapeutic decision\u2010making.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.15468","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,29]],"date-time":"2023-11-29T06:50:50Z","timestamp":1701240650000},"page":"34-40","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Effectiveness of systemic treatments on pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis: A systematic review in pediatric patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0872-739X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tessa A.","family":"Kouwenhoven","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Radboud University Medical Center  Nijmegen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marloes E.","family":"van Muijen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Radboud University Medical Center  Nijmegen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter C.
