- W4239644927 abstract "Background: A previous retrospective study indicated that patch testing is cost-effective and well accepted by patients. Objective: The objective of this observational prospective study was to show the cost-effectiveness of patch testing in patients suspected of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and to determine the order in which different severity groups rank in terms of cost-effectiveness. Methods: This observational study was conducted in 567 patients from 10 investigator sites over a period of 1 year. All patients with a suspicion of contact allergy who exhibited at least moderate disease activity were included in the study and were stratified according to disease severity and whether or not they were patch tested. In each severity category, the cost-effectiveness of patch testing was evaluated. Patients who were ruled out for contact allergy by the first 6 months after admission were excluded. A validated dermatology-specific quality of life instrument was administered to all the patients at entrance into the study and at 6 and 12 months after that. The cost-effectiveness analysis is shown using a decision analysis model. Results: Patch testing was performed on 22% of patients with mild disease, 41% of patients with moderate disease, and 50% of patients with severe disease. As a result of changes made in their lifestyle, 66% in the patch-tested group and 51% in the non-patch-tested group reported 75% or more improvement in disease symptoms after 6 months. Early confirmation of diagnosis helped reduce the prediagnosis costs of treatment, which was mostly based on preliminary diagnosis. The greatest quality of life benefits from patch testing, relative to no patch testing, occurred in subjects with recurrent or chronic ACD. Conclusion: Patch testing is most cost-effective and reduces the cost of therapy in patients with severe ACD." @default.
