Introduction:

Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory, chronic, pruritic skin disease. It has a multifactorial etiology and occurs most frequently during infancy and early childhood.

Aims:

To describe the scientific evidence on the effect of janus kinase inhibitors on clinical improvement and remission of atopic dermatitis.

Methods:

A systematic review and meta-analysis will be performed. This systematic review will be conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. A search will be performed in Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science.

Results:

14 articles were included in the review.

Conclusions:

Treatment with janus kinase inhibitors, such as abrocitinib, is being investigated as a potential option for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and the articles included in this review have shown promising results. abrocitinib showed a sustainable improvement of atopic dermatitis symptoms, has been shown to be well tolerated in clinical trials, with fewer and less intense side effects compared to other drugs such as creams or systemic corticosteroids, and so far suggest that janus kinase inhibitors are well tolerated by most patients. Importantly, abrocitinib is still a relatively new therapy and its long-term use in the treatment of atopic dermatitis requires further investigations.
