The SCORAD (Scoring Atopic Dermatitis) Calculator is a vital tool for healthcare professionals and patients to objectively assess the severity of Atopic Dermatitis (eczema). It combines three key components: the extent of affected body surface area, the intensity of six clinical signs, and two subjective symptoms like itching and sleep disturbance. Use this calculator to track disease progression and treatment effectiveness.
Formula:
The SCORAD score is calculated using the following formula:
SCORAD = A/5 + 7B/2 + C
Where:
- A = Extent of Atopic Dermatitis (percentage of affected body surface area, 0-100%).
- B = Sum of 6 Intensity items (Erythema, Edema/Papulation, Oozing/Crusts, Lichenification, Scratch marks, Dryness). Each item is scored 0-3, totaling 0-18.
- C = Sum of 2 Subjective Symptoms (Pruritus/itching and Sleep loss). Each item is scored 0-10, totaling 0-20.
