Fig 2 Change from baseline to end of treatment (for up to 12 weeks) in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) scores in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis. Significant improvement was observed throughout the course of sequential therapy (P < .001).

Fig 3 Change from baseline to end of treatment (12 weeks) in patients' assessment of pruritus (A) and sleep disturbance (B) in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis. Significant improvement was observed throughout the course of sequential therapy (P < .001).

Fig 5 A, Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI). B, Infant's Dermatology Quality of Life (QOL) Index (IDQOL). QOL change scores from baseline to end of treatment (at maintenance phase). Significant improvement of QOL was observed throughout the course of sequential therapy (P < .05).

Fig 6 A, Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI). B, Infant's Dermatology Quality of Life Index (IDQOL). Topical sequential therapy significantly improved areas in which atopic dermatitis has greatest impact, including symptoms/feelings (CDLQI, IDQOL) and sleep disturbance (CDLQI).
