1 Effect of sequential applications of topical tacrolimus and topical corticosteroids in the treatment of pediatric atopic dermatitis: An open-label pilot study  Yasuo Kubota, MD, Kozo Yoneda, MD, Kozo Nakai, MD, Junko Katsuura, MD, Tetsuya Moriue, MD, Yoshie Matsuoka, MD, Izumi Miyamoto, MD, Yukihiro Ohya, MD  Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology  Volume 60, Issue 2, Pages (February 2009) DOI: /j.jaad Copyright © 2008 American Academy of Dermatology, Inc.

2 Fig 1 Schematic presentation of topical sequential therapy and data-sampling periods using Eczema Area and Severity Index, pruritus and sleep disturbance scores, and quality-of-life (QOL) survey.

3 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).

4 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).

5 Fig 4 Clinical improvement of patient before (A) and after (B) 10 weeks of sequential therapy with tacrolimus ointment 0.03% and corticosteroid ointment (betamethasone valerate 0.12%).

6 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).

7 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).

8 Fig 7 Median difference between pretest (quality-of-life score before study) and retrospective pretest scores was significant at group level (P < .05), indicating that response shift bias was present.
