Outcomes in Stevens Johnsons Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, multicenter cohort observational; study to compare treatment outcomes in patients admitted to the hospital with Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome/Toxic Epidermolysis, aiming to assess the utility of medical management. The hypothesis of this study is that one or more treatment options will demonstrate improved patient outcomes. The primary objectives are cessation of progression of disease, time to complete re-epithelialization, length of stay, and mortality rate in the treatment groups as compared to those receiving supportive care alone. Exploratory analyses will assess the cause, risk factors, and severity prediction factors associated with the disease.
