Incidence of cardiovascular events in a population-based Danish cohort with atopic dermatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The risk of cardiovascular disease in atopic dermatitis (AD) is not well established.

Objectives

Our aims were to evaluate the incidence rate (IR) of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with AD in a population-based cohort study and to assess atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk factors and incidence of malignancies, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and VTE in patients with AD and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a nested cohort analysis.

Methods

Data from individuals age 12 years or older (nested cohort age ≥ 18 years) from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2018, were extracted from the Danish National Patient Registry. Patients with AD were age- and sex-matched with 10 healthy controls. ASCVD risk factors included age 65 years or
