Real-World Onset of Atopic Comorbidities Relative to Atopic Dermatitis in Pediatric Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) have a high atopic comorbidity burden. Although traditionally seen as beginning with AD and progressing to other atopic comorbidities, the "atopic march" model does not fit all patients. This manuscript describes the onset of atopic comorbidities among children newly diagnosed with AD.

Methods

This retrospective, observational, cohort study used data from the Israeli Maccabi Healthcare Services. Patients (< 18 years) first diagnosed with AD during 2000-2019 with ≥ 12-month enrollment before and after AD diagnosis were included. Outcomes included cumulative asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), and food allergy (FA) prevalence. Patients were grouped by age at AD diagnosis (< 3, 3-5, 6-11, and 12-17 years).
