Capturing and reporting topical treatment use in childhood eczema: lessons for data collection in eczema trials
Although questionnaire completion was similar for TCS use, emollient-use data completeness was higher in the second version.

Numerous ways of summarizing the same data can provide different information. Future collection and reporting of treatment use should reflect specific trial aims.
