COMMENT: Most non-randomized studies supported the use of montelukast for atopic dermatitis treatment. However, evidence from these studies should be interpreted with caution as it is relatively weak due to the absence of randomization, control groups and blinding processes, subjecting the results to high risk of selection and reporting biases. The inconsistent findings across RCTs may be related to the limited number of patients, nuances in study designs, varying severity of disease and the concomitant use of steroids in some of the studies.
