Abstract

We thank Professor Taieb for his comments on the report of the Third International Consensus Meeting to Harmonise Core Outcome Measures for Atopic Eczema/Dermatitis Clinical Trials (HOME III) in the December 2014 issue of the BJD (1). He promulgates a number of misconceptions about our work which we wish to respond to. First, he suggests that the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) filter "truth, discrimination and feasibility" might not be applicable to outcome measurement instruments for atopic dermatitis (AD) (2).
