Abstract

The HOME (Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema) initiative seeks to standardise outcome measures in trials of eczema treatments.1 RECAP (Recap for atopic eczema) is a seven-item HOME recommended patient reported outcome measure of eczema control.2 The total score of RECAP is from 0 to 28, with a greater score indicating poorer eczema control. In an online survey of 382 participants, RECAP was found to have good validity and reliability.3 However, validity and reliability can vary by both population and setting.
