Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic waves on adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in the Dutch general population: a population-based longitudinal cohort study

Both participants with and without moderate-to-severe AD showed partial recovery in mental health and wellbeing by the third COVID-19 wave; however, social relations remained impaired. Individual with moderate-to-severe AD, women, younger adults, and those with pre-existing mental health problems were more affected overall. Future studies should focus on developing strategies to improve social connectedness, and vulnerable groups warrant continued attention.
