Open questions — stub-batch-r15a (round 15)

  • Does habit reversal, adapted as parent-led redirection, reduce scratching or SCORAD in children under 4? The only paediatric RCT (Norén 2018, n=39) did not target toddlers. (Habit Reversal)
  • Should toddlers starting dupilumab use prophylactic lubricant eye drops or have a baseline eye check? Paediatric series support it, but no trial has tested it in under-6s. (Conjunctivitis)
  • Does nasal/household decolonisation reduce infected-eczema recurrences in toddlers, and how often does mupirocin resistance make it fail in UK/SA children? (Decolonisation)
  • Is zinc oxide better than plain petrolatum as a nappy/drool barrier for toddlers with eczema? No head-to-head trials were found. (Barrier Creams)
