Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease After Atopic Dermatitis Development: A Nationwide, Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Despite increasing evidence for the potential association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), results have still remained controversial. Therefore, this study investigated the association between AD and subsequent CVDs in adults newly diagnosed with AD.

Methods

Datasets from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort in South Korea from 2002 to 2015 were analyzed. The primary outcome was new-onset CVD, which included angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, stroke, or any revascularization procedure. The crude and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated in the AD group compared with the matched control group using the Cox proportional hazards regression models.
