Abstract

Different scoring systems have been developed to determine the severity of atopic dermatitis. The SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis), one of the best validated systems, is suited for clinical trials, but is too complicated and time consuming for routine clinical use. The TIS score (Three Item Severity score), a simplified system, is based on the evaluation of erythema, oedema/papulation and excoriation on a scale from 0 to 3. In order to determine the value of the TIS score we conducted a prospective study in 126 children with mild to severe atopic dermatitis. Both the TIS score and the SCORAD were assessed by trained investigators. Interobserver agreement was investigated in 20 children by comparing the independently performed scores of three investigators. A positive correlation was found between the TIS score and the SCORAD (Rank Spearman r(s)=0.86
