Abstract
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, also known as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction characterized by an exanthem, fever, and hematologic and visceral organ involvement. The differential diagnosis includes other cutaneous adverse reactions, infections, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and neoplastic disorders. Three sets of diagnostic criteria have been proposed; however, consensus is lacking. The cornerstone of management is immediate discontinuation of the suspected drug culprit. Systemic corticosteroids remain first-line therapy, but the literature on steroid-sparing agents is expanding. Longitudinal evaluation for sequelae is recommended. Adjunctive tests for risk stratification and drug culprit identification remain under investigation. Part II of this continuing medical education activity begins by exploring the differential diagnosis and diagnosis of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms and concludes with an evidence-based overview of evaluation and treatment.

Abstract
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DiHS), also known as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) characterized by an exanthem, fever, and hematologic and visceral organ involvement. Anticonvulsants, antibiotics, and allopurinol are the most common triggers. The pathogenesis involves a complex interplay between drugs, viruses, and the immune system primarily mediated by T-cells. DiHS/DRESS typically presents with a morbilliform eruption 2-6 weeks after drug exposure, and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and risk of relapse. Long-term sequelae primarily relate to organ dysfunction and autoimmune diseases. Part I of this continuing medical education activity on DiHS/DRESS provides an update on epidemiology, novel insights into pathogenesis, and a description of clinicopathological features and prognosis.

Abstract
In the inpatient setting, dermatology consultants help reduce mortality, shorten length of stay, and reduce hospital readmissions. Recent research underscores the contributions of dermatology hospitalists, including phenotyping known and new severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions; showing improved progression-free and overall survival among those receiving dermatologic care for cutaneous reactions to immune checkpoint inhibitors; highlighting the role of dermatologists in reducing emergency department and hospital utilization by those with inflammatory skin diseases; and demonstrating ways in which dermatologists can effectively diagnose common and severe cutaneous diseases using asynchronous teledermatology, meeting the growing demand for inpatient dermatology services. This review covers selected highlights from the 2022-2023 inpatient dermatology literature.

Abstract
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a predominantly drug-induced disease, with a mortality rate of 15-20%, that engages the expertise of multiple disciplines: dermatology, allergy, immunology, clinical pharmacology, burn surgery, ophthalmology, urogynecology, and psychiatry. SJS/TEN has an incidence of 1-5/million persons per year in the United States, with even higher rates globally. One of the challenges of SJS/TEN has been developing the research infrastructure and coordination to answer questions capable of transforming clinical care and leading to improved patient outcomes. SJS/TEN 2021, the third research meeting of its kind, was held as a virtual meeting on August 28-29, 2021. The meeting brought together 428 international scientists, in addition to a community of 140 SJS/TEN survivors and family members. The goal of the meeting was to brainstorm strategies to support the continued growth of an international SJS/TEN research network, bridging science and the community. The community workshop section of the meeting focused on eight primary themes: mental health, eye care, SJS/TEN in children, non-drug induced SJS/TEN, long-term health complications, new advances in mechanisms and basic science, managing long-term scarring, considerations for skin of color, and COVID-19 vaccines. The meeting featured several important updates and identified areas of unmet research and clinical need that will be highlighted in this white paper.

Abstract
Importance Scoring systems for Stevens-Johnson syndrome and epidermal necrolysis (EN) only estimate patient prognosis and are weighted toward comorbidities and systemic features; morphologic terminology for EN lesions is inconsistent. Objectives To establish consensus among expert dermatologists on EN terminology, morphologic progression, and most-affected sites, and to build a framework for developing a skin-directed scoring system for EN. Evidence Review A Delphi consensus using the RAND/UCLA appropriateness criteria was initiated with a core group from the Society of Dermatology Hospitalists to establish agreement on the optimal design for an EN cutaneous scoring instrument, terminology, morphologic traits, and sites of involvement. Findings In round 1, the 54 participating dermatology hospitalists reached consensus on all 49 statements (30 appropriate, 3 inappropriate, 16 uncertain). In round 2, they agreed on another 15 statements (8 appropriate, 7 uncertain). There was consistent agreement on the need for a skin-specific instrument; on the most-often affected skin sites (head and neck, chest, upper back, ocular mucosa, oral mucosa); and that blanching erythema, dusky erythema, targetoid erythema, vesicles/bullae, desquamation, and erosions comprise the morphologic traits of EN and can be consistently differentiated. Conclusions and Relevance This consensus exercise confirmed the need for an EN skin-directed scoring system, nomenclature, and differentiation of specific morphologic traits, and identified the sites most affected. It also established a baseline consensus for a standardized EN instrument with consistent terminology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin condition which predominantly affects women of childbearing age in the USA. There is a lack of research on the association between HS and fertility. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to understand the perspectives of females with HS regarding the impact of their disease on reproductive health, the impact of fertility treatments on HS, and the impact of HS treatments on fertility. METHODS An anonymous, online survey was disseminated through HS support groups from June to July 2022. Respondents aged 18-50 who were assigned female sex at birth were eligible for participation. Comparative statistics were performed using t tests/χ2 tests to assess associations between respondents' demographics and survey responses. RESULTS Among the 312 respondents (80.8% White, mean age 35.7 ± 7.4 [range 18-50]), two-thirds of respondents (66.6%, 207/311) had been pregnant before and 79.5% (248/312) had ever tried to conceive. 41.5% (103/248) had unsuccessfully tried to conceive for 12 months or more. Of the 59 respondents who had never attempted to conceive, 39% reported that HS had impacted this decision. Amongst respondents who experienced fertility challenges but did not pursue fertility treatments, top barriers to fertility treatments include concerns about financial support/insurance coverage (47.5%, 29/61) and fertility treatments worsening HS (21.3%, 13/61). Most respondents who used fertility treatments reported either no change (73.7%, 28/38 or 77.8%, 14/18) or improvement (15.8%, 6/38 or 11.1%, 2/18) in their HS symptoms with oral or injectable medications. Respondents were most concerned about the effects of oral antibiotics (44.9%, 140/312), followed by hormonal medications (38.8%, 121/312) and biologics (35.9%, 112/312) on fertility. CONCLUSION Females with HS reported high rates of infertility compared to the general population. The majority reported no change in HS symptoms with fertility treatments, and clinicians can use this finding to help counsel patients during family planning discussions. Further research in the field of HS and fertility is needed.

Abstract
Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa experience significant life impact related to their disease. Younger age, Black race, high BMI, active smoking, flares, depression, anxiety, high comorbidity burden, disability, and difficult access to a dermatologist adversely influence life impact related to having hidradenitis suppurativa. Attention to these factors, particularly modifiable ones, may reduce overall impact of disease.

Abstract
We describe a particularly severe case of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome with hemodynamic instability, erythroderma, profound eosinophilia, and severe organ dysfunction. We attribute the severity in part to a delay in diagnosis due to patient's skin of color, as the erythroderma was not noticed until a dermatologist was consulted. This case highlights how even severe skin disease can present less conspicuously in patients with darker skin types. We outline several strategies that can help clinicians to recognize DRESS and other skin disease phenotypes in patients of color, thereby avoiding delays in diagnosis as seen in this case.

Abstract
BackgroundAcute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet syndrome) is a potentially fatal multiorgan inflammatory disease characterized by fever, leukocytosis, and a rash with a neutrophilic infiltrate. The disease pathophysiology remains elusive, and current dogma suggests that Sweet syndrome is a process of reactivity to an unknown antigen. Corticosteroids and steroid-sparing agents remain frontline therapies, but refractory cases pose a clinical challenge.MethodsA 51-year-old woman with multiorgan Sweet syndrome developed serious corticosteroid-related side effects and was refractory to steroid-sparing agents. Blood counts, liver enzymes, and skin histopathology supported the diagnosis. Whole-genome sequencing, transcriptomic profiling, and cellular assays of the patient's skin and neutrophils were performed.ResultsWe identified elevated IL-1 signaling in lesional Sweet syndrome skin caused by a PIK3R1 gain-of-function mutation specifically found in neutrophils. This mutation increased neutrophil migration toward IL-1β and neutrophil respiratory burst. Targeted treatment of the patient with an IL-1 receptor 1 antagonist resulted in a dramatic therapeutic response and enabled a tapering off of corticosteroids.ConclusionDysregulated PI3K/AKT signaling is the first signaling pathway linked to Sweet syndrome and suggests that this syndrome may be caused by acquired mutations that modulate neutrophil function. Moreover, integration of molecular data across multiple levels identified a distinct subtype within a heterogeneous disease that resulted in a rational and successful clinical intervention. Future patients will benefit from efforts to identify potential mutations. The ability to directly interrogate the diseased skin allows this method to be generalizable to other inflammatory diseases and demonstrates a potential personalized medicine approach for patients with clinically challenging disease.Funding SourcesBerstein Foundation, NIH, Veterans Affairs (VA) Administration, Moseley Foundation, and H.T.

Abstract
Cutaneous vasculitis may be a cutaneous manifestation of systemic vasculitis, a skin-limited variant of systemic vasculitis, or a type of single-organ vasculitis limited to the skin. Careful evaluation is necessary to distinguish these possibilities, differentiate skin-limited from systemic disease, and identify important underlying conditions, if present. Appropriate management depends on disease type and severity. In the case of cutaneous small vessel vasculitis (CSVV), treatment is primarily based on case reports and expert opinion, using a range of immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive therapies. This manuscript presents a systematic and stepwise approach to the evaluation of patients presenting with cutaneous vasculitis, as well as the management of those diagnosed with CSVV, using best available evidence. Studies relevant to the classification, evaluation, and management of skin vasculitis are ongoing.

Abstract
Cutaneous vasculitis encompasses a spectrum of disease states, with varied morphology, severity, and potential for systemic involvement. Even vasculitis which is skin-limited can have a significant quality-of-life impact, necessitating treatment. This manuscript summarizes the available evidence for management of various types of skin-limited vasculitis and provides a proposed therapeutic ladder based on published studies and expert opinion.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Neutrophilic dermatoses are defined by the presence of a sterile neutrophilic infiltrate on histopathology. This review focuses on the pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and management of four disorders: Sweet syndrome, pyoderma gangrenosum, Behçet syndrome, and neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis. Recent Findings Recent studies have provided insight into the complex pathogenesis of neutrophilic dermatoses. Evidence supports an intricate interplay of abnormal neutrophil function and inflammasome activation, malignant transformation into dermal infiltrating neutrophils, and genetic predisposition. Summary Neutrophilic dermatoses have diverse cutaneous and extracutaneous manifestations and may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Common underlying associations include infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders, as well as drug reactions. Emerging diagnostic and therapeutic frameworks identify an expanding role for biologic and targeted anti-inflammatory therapies.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is a frequently encountered and serious side effect of glucocorticoid use. Bone loss leading to an increased risk for fracture occurs early in the use of glucocorticoids, yet patients at risk for this complication are often undertreated. All physicians prescribing glucocorticoids should therefore be familiar with a basic approach to anticipating and preventing GIOP when starting patients on glucocorticoid therapy. This manuscript and its case vignettes are designed to help dermatologists assess and manage bone health to prevent GIOP in patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy.

Abstract
Cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19-SARS-CoV-2-are common and varied. Morbilliform, vesicular, and urticarial eruptions may be nonspecific initial features of the disease. Chilblainlike lesions on the fingers or toes typically occur as part of a resolution phase, signifying a milder course, whereas livedoid lesions and retiform purpura are associated with coaguloapthy and more severe disease. Additionally, a severe Kawasaki-like multisystem inflammatory syndrome rarely is seen in children. This diverse range of cutaneous manifestations in COVID-19 reflects a spectrum of host immunologic responses to SARS-CoV-2 and may inform disease pathophysiology.

Abstract
Importance Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is known to cause multiple end-organ complications in its acute phase, but less is known about the long-term association with patients' mental health and quality of life. Objective To examine the chronic physical and psychological sequelae affecting patients with SJS/TEN. Design, Setting, and Participants A survey study conducted at 11 academic health centers in the US evaluated 121 adults diagnosed with SJS/TEN by inpatient consultive dermatologists between January 1, 2009, and September 30, 2019. Interventions Patients completed a survey that included the following validated questionnaires: Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Primary Care Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Screen (PC-PTSD), and the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). The survey also included questions created by the study team regarding fear, patient education, and long-term sequelae relevant to SJS/TEN. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcome measures were the percentage of patients reporting long-term physical sequelae; the percentage of patients with positive results on PHQ-9, GAD-7, and PC-PTSD screening; and the numeric score on the SF-12 (score of 50 defined as average physical and mental well-being). Results A total of 121 individuals (73 women [60.3%]; mean [SD] age, 52.5 [17.1] years) completed the survey (response rate, 29.2%). The most common long-term physical sequelae reported were cutaneous problems (102 of 121 [84.3%]), ocular problems (72 of 121 [59.5%]), and oral mucosal problems (61 of 120 [50.8%]). A total of 53.3% (64 of 120) of the respondents had results indicating depression on the PHQ-9, 43.3% (52 of 120) showed signs of anxiety on the GAD-7, and 19.5% had results indicating PTSD on the PC-PTSD. The mean (SD) SF-12 Physical Component Summary score was 42.4 (22.8), and the mean Mental Component Summary score was 46.1 (20.9). A total of 28.2% (33 of 117) of the respondents were unable to work, 68.1% (81 of 119) were fearful of taking new medications, and 30.0% (36 of 120) avoided taking prescribed medications for a diagnosed medical condition. Conclusions and Relevance This survey study found that long-term physical sequelae, depression, and anxiety appear to be common in patients with SJS/TEN, with implications for health and well-being. Improved awareness of these complications may assist health professionals in offering medical care, counseling, and support to patients with SJS/TEN.

Abstract
Hospitalized oncology patients often require multidisciplinary care. Inpatient consultative dermatologists can provide expertise in the management of cutaneous complications that patients with cancer may experience. The goal of this study was to quantify the types of consults received by hospitalized oncology patients to better understand the utilization of dermatology consults in this population. Hospital billing codes were used to identify inpatient oncology patients and the types of consults they received at a single quaternary care hospital center. Between July 1, 2015, and January 31, 2020, 14,175 patients were admitted to an oncology service for more than 24 hours, and 5,243 (37%) of these patients received at least 1 consultation during their hospital admission. These patients received a total of 10,492 consults from 101 different services. Dermatology had the fifth-highest number of consults (n = 623; 5.9%). Among patients receiving consults, 608 (11.6%) received inpatient dermatology consults. Infectious disease was the service with the most consults (n = 1,485; 14.2%) and was also the service most commonly co-consulted with dermatology (n = 262; 42.1%). The inpatient consultative dermatology service is highly utilized among hospitalized oncology patients, suggesting that expertise in dermatologic care is valued by oncology teams.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supportive care is the cornerstone of management of adult and paediatric Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). However, consensus on the modalities of supportive care is lacking. OBJECTIVES Our aim in this international multicentric Delphi exercise was to establish a multidisciplinary expert consensus to standardize recommendations regarding supportive care in the acute phase of SJS/TEN. METHODS Participants were sent a survey via the online tool SurveyMonkey, consisting of 103 statements organized into 11 topics: multidisciplinary team composition, suspect drug management, infection prevention, fluid resuscitation and prevention of hypothermia, nutritional support, pain and psychological distress management, management of acute respiratory failure, local skincare, ophthalmological management, management of other mucosa, and additional measures. Participants evaluated the level of appropriateness of each statement on a scale of 1 (extremely inappropriate) to 9 (extremely appropriate). The results were analysed according to the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method. RESULTS Forty-five participants from 13 countries (on three continents) participated. After the first round, a consensus was obtained for 82.5% of the 103 initially proposed statements. After the second round, a final consensus was obtained for 102 statements. CONCLUSIONS We have reached an international Delphi-based consensus on best supportive care practice for SJS/TEN. Our expert consensus should help guide physicians in treating patients with SJS/TEN and thereby improve short-term prognosis and the risk of sequelae.

Abstract
Vasculitis is characterized by inflammation and destruction of blood vessels, resulting in downstream ischemic tissue damage. Diagnosis of vasculitis is a careful exercise in clinical-pathologic correlation, depending upon the clinical manifestations, organs involved, the size of affected blood vessels, imaging, and laboratory findings. While some vasculitis subtypes may be confined to the skin, serious internal organ involvement or underlying disease states may also occur. Accordingly, the skin plays an important role in the diagnostic process and may be prognostically important in some cases, signifying more severe systemic disease. The skin also provides opportunities for tissue-based translational research, improving understanding of disease pathophysiology. Dermatologists, therefore, play a critical role in evaluating vasculitis and helping to advance vasculitis clinical care and research. Recent updates in vasculitis nomenclature and terminology, evidence-based diagnosis, pathogenesis, and investigations of targeted therapies are changing vasculitis research and leading to fundamental shifts in disease management. Treatment advances favoring evidence-based and targeted, rather than broadly immunosuppressive, therapies are in development, while a multicenter trial for skin-limited vasculitis is ongoing. Collaborative multidisciplinary research networks are key to current and future advances in vasculitis research. In this review, we describe recent developments in vasculitis clinical care and research, starting with a discussion of efforts to develop diagnostic and classification criteria, followed by updates on the evaluation and treatment of vasculitis.

Abstract
Dermatologists treating immune-mediated skin disease must now contend with the uncertainties associated with immunosuppressive use in the context of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. Although the risk of infection with many commonly used immunosuppressive agents remains low, direct data evaluating the safety of such agents in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are scarce. This article reviews and offers guidance based on currently available safety data and the most recent COVID-19 outcome data in patients with immune-mediated dermatologic disease. The interdisciplinary panel of experts emphasizes a stepwise, shared decision-making approach in the management of immunosuppressive therapy. The goal of this article is to help providers minimize the risk of disease flares while simultaneously minimizing the risk of iatrogenic harm during an evolving pandemic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cutaneous manifestations of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), including granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), are poorly characterized. This report describes the dermatologic features of AAV and their association with systemic manifestations of vasculitis. METHODS A cross-sectional study identifying and comparing the cutaneous manifestations of AAV was performed using data from a large, international, collaborative effort in order to collect comprehensive clinical data on patients with vasculitis. RESULTS Data from 1,184 patients with AAV from 130 centers worldwide were available. Cutaneous manifestations were common in all AAV subtypes: GPA (223 of 656, or 34%), MPA (85 of 302, or 28%), and EGPA (106 of 226, or 47%). The most frequent cutaneous manifestation in AAV (all types) was petechiae/purpura, which was observed in 181 patients (15%). Allergic and nonspecific manifestations, such as pruritus, urticaria, and maculopapular rash, were more common in EGPA than in other disease subtypes (all P < 0.01). Skin biopsy, while underutilized (performed in 22-44% of patients), was frequently found to be an effective test suitable for diagnosis of AAV (diagnostic in 68-94% of patients). Compared to patients without cutaneous manifestations, those with skin lesions more frequently had severe systemic manifestations of vasculitis (such as alveolar hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis), specifically patients with GPA or EGPA and cytoplasmic/anti-proteinase 3 (anti-PR3) ANCA-positive or ANCA-negative patients (hazard ratio >1.9 for all), but not those with MPA or perinuclear/antimyeloperoxidase ANCAs. CONCLUSION Cutaneous manifestations are common and varied in AAV and are associated with disease severity in patients with GPA, EGPA, cytoplasmic/anti-PR3 ANCA, or ANCA-negative disease. These findings underscore the potential diagnostic and prognostic importance of the cutaneous examination in the evaluation and management of AAV.

Abstract
Cutaneous vasculitis encompasses cutaneous components of systemic vasculitides, skin-limited variants of systemic vasculitides, such as IgA vasculitis or cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa, and single-organ cutaneous vasculitis, as individualized in 2012 in the Chapel Hill Consensus Conference Nomenclature. In this article, we focus on the management of skin-limited and single-organ vasculitides, often referred to, in clinical practice, as isolated "cutaneous leukocyctoclastic vasculitis", terms which may correspond to histological findings or descriptions, but are imprecise and not specific. Since most cases of isolated cutaneous vasculitis are self-limited and resolve spontaneously over 3 to 4 weeks, most patients require no systemic treatment. For those with severe, intractable, or chronic and recurring vasculitis, systemic therapy can be indicated and should be tailored to the severity of the disease. High-quality literature is lacking to guide management. Oral glucocorticoids may be required for a short period of time for painful, ulcerative, or otherwise severe disease in order to speed resolution. Among drugs which are reasonable longer-term options are colchicine, dapsone, azathioprine or hydroxychloroquine. Additional studies, including an ongoing multicenter randomized trial, are needed to determine the most effective therapies for skin-limited vasculitis.

Abstract
Cutaneous disease may be the first manifestation of an underlying nutritional deficiency, highlighting the importance of early recognition by dermatologists. Undernutrition occurs when there is an imbalance between nutrient intake and metabolic demand. Many hospitalized patients are in catabolic states due to chronic illness, infection, malabsorption, or medication. These patients are at an increased risk for undernutrition and therefore associated cutaneous disease. This review details the risk factors for nutritional deficiency, illustrates the presentations of cutaneous disease, reviews diagnostic workups, and provides suggestions for supplementation in the undernourished patient.

Abstract
Background Skin-limited forms of vasculitis, while lacking systemic manifestations, can persist or recur indefinitely, cause pain, itch, or ulceration, and be complicated by infection or scarring. High-quality evidence on how to treat these conditions is lacking. The aim of this comparative effectiveness study is to determine the optimal management of patients with chronic skin-limited vasculitis. Methods ARAMIS is a multicenter, sequential, multiple assignment randomized trial with an enrichment design (SMARTER) aimed at comparing the efficacy of three drugs—azathioprine, colchicine, and dapsone—commonly used to treat various forms of isolated skin vasculitis. ARAMIS will enroll patients with isolated cutaneous small or medium vessel vasculitis, including cutaneous small vessel vasculitis, immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis (skin-limited Henoch-Schönlein purpura), and cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa. Patients not responding to the initial assigned therapy will be re-randomized to one of the remaining two study drugs (Stage 2). Those with intolerance or contraindication to a study drug can be randomized directly into Stage 2. Target enrollment is 90 participants, recruited from international centers affiliated with the Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium. The number of patients enrolled directly into Stage 2 of the study will be capped at 10% of the total recruitment target. The primary study endpoint is the proportion of participants from the pooled study stages with a response to therapy at month 6, according to the study definition. Discussion ARAMIS will help identify effective agents for skin-limited forms of vasculitis, an understudied group of diseases. The SMARTER design may serve as an example for future trials in rare diseases. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02939573. Registered on 18 October 2016.

Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening conditions with high morbidity and mortality. Supportive care management of SJS/TEN is highly variable. A systematic review of the literature was performed by dermatologists, ophthalmologists, intensivists, and gynecologists with expertise in SJS/TEN to generate statements for supportive care guideline development. Members of the Society of Dermatology Hospitalists with expertise in SJS/TEN were invited to participate in a modified, online Delphi-consensus. Participants were administered 9-point Likert scale questionnaires regarding 135 statements. The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method was used to evaluate and select proposed statements for guideline inclusion; statements with median ratings of 6.5 to 9 and a disagreement index of ≤1 were included in the guideline. For the final round, the guidelines were appraised by all of the participants. Included are an evidence-based discussion and recommendations for hospital setting and care team, wound care, ocular care, oral care, urogenital care, pain management, infection surveillance, fluid and electrolyte management, nutrition and stress ulcer prophylaxis, airway management, and anticoagulation in adult patients with SJS/TEN.
