Authors' objectives:
To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of silk garments for the management of AE in children with moderate to severe disease.
Authors' recommendations:
The addition of silk garments to standard AE care is unlikely to improve AE severity, or to be cost-effective compared with standard care alone, for children with moderate or severe AE. This trial adds to the evidence base to guide clinical decision-making.
