Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT)
The Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT) was developed for patient self-assessment for a better understanding of the disease and anticipate the needs of a patient. It is comprised of 6 easy to interpret questions designed for use in routine consultations. The ADCT comprehensively assesses multiple aspects of patients’ disease and facilitates doctor-patient communication about the optimal management of atopic dermatitis (AD). The ADCT has been validated for both adult and pediatric (≥12 years old) use.

Scoring Principle :

Each questioned is scored between 0-4 points from left to right. All 6 questions must be tallied for an accurate total score between 0-24 points. AD is considered not well controlled if the total score ≥7 points. For assessment in control status over time, a change of ≥5 points since the last assessment is considered a clinically relevant threshold in AD control.

If you are concerned that your eczema may not be well controlled, please seek medical advice. Bring your completed test results with you at your next scheduled consultation and speak to your doctor with the help of the test results to describe how your eczema is affecting you.
