Our purpose was to translate and validate the Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) in Greek. POEM translation was carried out with parallel back-translation procedure. To examine reliability and validity, 59 AD adult patients were recruited. A questionnaire including demographics, POEM, and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was completed through physicians’ interview with patients. A second POEM completion took place 3-7 days after the initial visit. POEM items showed good internal consistency among study participants [Cronbach’s alpha = 0.88] and no overall floor and ceiling effects were detected. The POEM and DLQI scores were significantly correlated (Spearman rho = 0.71; p<0.001). The average ICC (95% CI) of POEM score between interviews was 0.89 (0.80, 0.94) indicating good to excellent test-retest reliability. As the use of patient reported outcome measures in Greece is increasing, it is important to have access in Greek translated - validated tools that are commonly used in literature.
