Abstract
Chronic skin conditions can have psychosocial and somatic implications, influencing well-being and quality of life. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesise evidence on the prevalence of comorbid mental health difficulties in 0-25-year-olds with chronic skin conditions. A secondary aim included identifying factors associated with resilience. The narrative synthesis included 45 studies. Four meta-analyses were performed with moderate-high quality studies, one for each outcome: diagnosed mental disorders; mental health symptoms; suicidal behaviour; socio-emotional and behavioural difficulties. The pooled prevalence of diagnosed mental disorders was 1.2% (95% CI = 0.2-6.1); of mental health symptoms was 22.6% (95% CI = 18.9-26.7); of suicidal behaviour was 7.8% (95% CI = 1.4-3.1); of socio-emotional and behavioural difficulties was 20.9% (95% CI = 14.7-28.8). Findings demonstrate the pooled prevalence of comorbid mental health difficulties in youth with chronic skin conditions.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungDie atopische Dermatitis ist die häufigste chronische Hauterkrankung im Kindesalter mit einer Prävalenz von 10% bei Kleinkindern unter 2 Jahren, wovon etwa 15% einen hohen Schweregrad aufweisen. „Kinder sind keine kleinen Erwachsenen“, dies trifft für die schwere frühkindliche atopische Dermatitis in besonderem Maße zu. Innerhalb dieser sensiblen Lebensphase zeigen sich alterstypische Facetten der Erkrankung (psychosozial, neurokognitiv, klinisch‐morphologisch), die Unterschiede im Management mit sich bringen.Besondere Bedeutung hat die Identifikation von Säuglingen und Kleinkindern mit früh‐persistierendem, schwerem Verlauf mit Blick auf eine erstmals für diese Altersgruppe zugelassene Systemtherapie: sowohl für die unmittelbare Versorgung der Hauterkrankung als auch unter dem Aspekt einer möglichen Prävention von Begleiterkrankungen. Da der „atopische Phänotyp“ klinische Überlappungen zum Spektrum der Immundefekte aufweist, ist die korrekte Einordnung des Hautbefundes bei therapierefraktärem Ekzem essenziell. In dieser Arbeit beschreiben wir eine alltagstaugliche Strategie, um anhand anamnestischer Warnhinweise, dermatologischer Leitbefunde und Labordiagnostik eine Abgrenzung von ekzematösen Hauterscheinungen bei primären Immundefekten vorzunehmen. Dazu geben wir aktuelle Empfehlungen zum Management des schweren frühkindlichen atopischen Ekzems, auch in Bezug auf die Indikation zur Systemtherapie.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common skin disease in infants and children with a prevalence of 10% in the first two years of life. In this age group up to 15% are severely affected. "Children are not little adults" - this applies in particular to infants with severe atopic dermatitis. Age-specific clinical aspects (psychosocial, neurocognitive, morphological) of the disease require an adjusted disease management. Considering recent approval of systemic treatment options, early identification of infants and children with severe and early persistent disease is of particular importance also in view of possible prevention of atopic comorbidity. As several inborn errors of immunity (IEI) share features of the atopic phenotype, it is essential for clinicians to distinguish signs of immunodeficiency from severe AD. Here, we describe a practical approach on the basis of clinical history and key dermatological and laboratory findings. Furthermore, this paper is aimed at providing an update on general management of severe AD in early infancy, including recommendations for systemic treatment.

Abstract
A previous follow-up of the GINIplus study showed that breastfeeding could protect against early eczema. However, effects diminished in adolescence, possibly indicating a "rebound effect" in breastfed children after initial protection. We evaluated the role of early eczema until three years of age on allergies until young adulthood and assessed whether early eczema modifies the association between breastfeeding and allergies. Data from GINIplus until 20-years of age (N = 4058) were considered. Information on atopic eczema, asthma, and rhinitis was based on reported physician's diagnoses. Adjusted Odds Ratios (aOR) were modelled by using generalized estimating equations. Early eczema was associated with eczema (aORs = 3.2-14.4), asthma (aORs = 2.2-2.7), and rhinitis (aORs = 1.2-2.7) until young adulthood. For eczema, this association decreased with age (p-for-interaction = 0.002-0.006). Longitudinal models did not show associations between breastfeeding and the respective allergies from 5 to 20 years of age. Moreover, early eczema generally did not modify the association between milk feeding and allergies except for rhinitis in participants without family history of atopy. Early eczema strongly predicts allergies until young adulthood. While preventive effects of full breastfeeding on eczema in infants with family history of atopy does not persist until young adulthood, the hypothesis of a rebound effect after initial protection cannot be confirmed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paediatric atopic dermatitis (AD) has been linked to neuropsychiatric comorbidities such as depression, anxiety and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, longitudinal data are limited, and the effect of AD severity on neuropsychiatric outcomes requires further characterization. OBJECTIVES To determine the risk of several major neuropsychiatric conditions in children with AD. METHODS We analysed UK health records data in a population-based cohort study. Each patient <18 years old with AD was matched to up to five unaffected patients on age, practice and index date. Treatments served as proxies for AD severity, which was analysed in a time-updated manner. Outcomes were incident anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), suicidal ideation or attempt, and completed suicide. RESULTS A total of 409,431 children with AD (93.2% mild, 5.5% moderate, 1.3% severe) were compared to 1,809,029 children without AD. In Cox regression models adjusted for age, sex, socioeconomic status and other atopic comorbidities, no statistically significant relationships were observed between AD and incident anxiety (HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.99-1.03), ADHD (1.02, 0.97-1.06), autism (1.02, 0.98-1.06), bipolar disorder (1.08, 0.85-1.36), suicidal ideation/attempt (0.98, 0.95-1.01) or completed suicide (0.85, 0.64-1.14). Children with AD were less likely to develop depression (0.93, 0.91-0.95) or schizophrenia (0.72, 0.54-0.95) but more likely to develop OCD (1.26, 1.16-1.37). However, there was substantial variation by AD severity and age in both the direction and magnitude of effect for many of the neuropsychiatric conditions examined. CONCLUSIONS The was no substantial impact of AD on the overall risk of many neuropsychiatric conditions in children, but disease severity and age may be important modifying factors. Additional research is needed to further dissect the complex relationship between paediatric AD and neuropsychiatric comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with different comorbidities. OBJECTIVE To develop evidence-based and practical recommendations for comorbidity detection in patients with AD in daily practice. METHODS We employed a modified RAND/UCLA methodology, including a systematic literature review (SLR). A group of six experts on AD was established. We conducted a comprehensive search strategy on Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library up to June 2020. The selection criteria included studies with AD patients with any comorbidity reporting data on comorbidity prevalence, burden, and management. The included studies quality was assessed. The SLR results were discussed in a nominal group meeting, and several recommendations were generated. The recommendation agreement grade was tested on additional experts through a Delphi process. RESULTS The recommendations cover the following issues: 1) Which comorbidities should be investigated at the first and subsequent visits; 2) How and when should comorbidities be investigated (screening); 3) How should patients with specific comorbidities be referred to confirm their diagnosis and initiate management; 4) Specific recommendations to ensure an integral care approach for AD patients with any comorbidity. CONCLUSIONS These recommendations seek to guide dermatologists, patients, and other stakeholders in regard to early comorbidity identification and AD patient referral to improve decision-making.

Abstract
Atopic diseases are multifactorial chronic disturbances which may evolve one into another and have overlapping pathogenetic mechanisms. Atopic dermatitis is in most cases the first step towards the development of the atopic march and represents a major socio-economic burden in the industrialized countries. The treatment of atopic diseases is often long-lasting and in some cases with lower effectiveness than expected. In order to prevent the development of the atopic march, the links between the atopic diseases have to be understood. The aim of this review is to present some major points outlining the link between atopic dermatitis and asthma, through a research in the medical literature from recent years. Stratifying patient populations according to the clinical phenotype of their disease and according to specific measurable values (biomarkers) can help to establish the main etiopathogenetic mechanisms of the disease in these populations. This will add predictive value for the evolution of the disease, and will allow the use and research of more targeted therapy in order to stop this evolution and comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with allergic clinical manifestations tend to have behavioral or emotional problems such as hyperactivity or worse mental health. However, previous studies on this association did not adequately adjust for confounders like parenting stress, demographic characteristics, or allergy presentation. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between childhood allergic clinical manifestations and behavioral problems, adjusting for confounders such as demographic characteristics, parenting stress, and allergy-related variables. METHODS We conducted an online cross-sectional survey among caregivers of children aged 2-6 years (n = 633). The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to determine children's behavioral characteristics as the primary outcome. Allergic clinical manifestations, wheeze, rash, and nose symptoms were the exposure variables. Associations were estimated using logistic regression analyses with propensity scores to adjust for confounders. RESULTS We analyzed 633 caregivers of children aged 2-6 years (valid rate, 61.5%). Univariate analyses showed that wheezing was associated with conduct problems (odds ratio [OR] = 1.48, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.01-2.16), a behavioral component of the SDQ. Rash was also associated with hyperactivity (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.02-2.57). Furthermore, nose symptoms were associated with conduct problems (OR = 1.65, 95% CI:1.16-2.33) and emotional symptoms (OR=1.62, 95% CI:1.06-2.45). After adjusting for potential confounders, wheezing (adjusted OR = 1.69, 95% CI:1.04-2.75) and nose symptoms (adjusted OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.05-2.34) remained associated with conduct problems. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that a history of wheezing and nose symptoms in children is associated with an increased risk of behavioral problems, in particular, conduct problems.

Abstract
Several non-mental diseases seem to be associated with an increased risk of ADHD and ADHD seems to be associated with increased risk for non-mental diseases. The underlying trajectories leading to such brain-body co-occurrences are often unclear - are there direct causal relationships from one disorder to the other, or does the sharing of genetic and/or environmental risk factors lead to their occurring together more frequently or both? Our goal with this narrative review was to provide a conceptual synthesis of the associations between ADHD and non-mental disease across the lifespan. We discuss potential shared pathologic mechanisms, genetic background and treatments in co-occurring diseases. For those co-occurrences for which published studies with sufficient sample sizes exist, meta-analyses have been published by others and we discuss those in detail. We conclude that non-mental diseases are common in ADHD and vice versa and add to the disease burden of the patient across the lifespan. Insufficient attention to such co-occurring conditions may result in missed diagnoses and suboptimal treatment in the affected individuals.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Research has highlighted associations between atopic dermatitis (AD) and mental health conditions in adults. However, literature on the development of mental health comorbidities in children is limited despite the large burden of pediatric AD worldwide. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between AD and internalizing behaviors and symptoms of depression at multiple points across childhood and adolescence and to explore potential mediating factors, including asthma/rhinitis, sleep, and inflammation. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This longitudinal, population-based birth cohort study included children followed up from birth for a mean (SD) duration of 10.0 (2.9) years from the UK Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Data were collected from September 6, 1990, to December 31, 2009. Data were analyzed from August 30, 2019, to July 30, 2020. EXPOSURES Annual period prevalence of AD assessed at 11 points from 6 months to 18 years of age, measured by standardized questions about flexural dermatitis. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Symptoms of depression, measured using child-reported responses to the Short Moods and Feelings Questionnaire at 5 points from 10 to 18 years of age and internalizing behaviors, measured by maternal report of the Emotional Symptoms subscale of the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire at 7 points from 4 to 16 years of age. RESULTS Among the 11 181 children included in the analysis (5721 male [51.2%]), the period prevalence of symptoms of depression ranged from 6.0% to 21.6%; for internalizing behaviors, from 10.4% to 16.0%. Although mild to moderate AD was not associated with symptoms of depression, it was associated with internalizing behaviors as early as 4 years of age (mean increased odds of 29%-84% across childhood in adjusted models). Severe AD was associated with symptoms of depression (adjusted odds ratio, 2.38; 95% CI, 1.21-4.72) and internalizing symptoms (adjusted odds ratio, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.14-3.16). Sleep quality mediated some of this association, but it was not explained by differences in sleep duration, asthma/rhinitis, or levels of inflammatory markers (interleukin 6 and C-reactive protein). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Within this population-based birth cohort study in the UK, severe AD was associated with symptoms of depression and internalizing behaviors throughout childhood and adolescence. Risk of internalizing symptoms was increased even for children with mild AD beginning early in childhood, highlighting the importance of behavioral and mental health awareness in this population.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease characterized by chronic inflammatory condition that shows hallmark presentations in terms of sleep disturbances, pruritus, and psychological stress, and an association with increased attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) risk. A number of studies have suggested for the co-occurrence of the two diseased conditions. In terms of global prevalence, AD and ADHD almost exhibit a parallel increment according to epidemiological data. In addition, recent reports indicate AD to show a temporal association with later onset of ADHD. Although several studies suggest for the potential link between AD and ADHD, currently there is no definitive answer to this regard. Furthermore, epidemiological evidence of co-occurrence does not ascertain a pathophysiological link between the two conditions. The pathophysiological basis behind the association of AD and ADHD also remain poorly elucidated. The objective of this review is to present an extensive account of AD and associated comorbidities with a special attention toward ADHD as well as to elaborate on the mechanisms underlying their association. The review can provide healthcare providers with the recent updates on AD-ADHD association and help them while dealing with such patients. In general, AD and ADHD show a positive association in majority of the cross-sectional studies. However, large longitudinal studies are required to draw any conclusion on the temporal nature of such association.

Abstract
Atopic eczema (AE) is a chronic inflammatory disease hallmarked by intense pruritus and eczematous lesions. It depicts one of the most common skin diseases affecting a major part of children and several percentages of adults.Both pathogenesis and pathophysiology are based on complex orchestrated interactions of skin barrier defects, immunological changes, the environment, and an abundance of other contributing factors. Frequently, AE displays the starting point for other allergic diseases such as allergic asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis. Additionally, the risk of developing food allergy is increased. Furthermore, the disease is accompanied by a susceptibility to bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. The development of new therapies received great impetus by an ample research of the pathophysiological mechanisms, leading to a new era in the treatment of severe atopic eczema due to targeted treatments, e.g. the IL-4R alpha specific monoclonal antibody dupilumab.This article provides an overview of the causative and pathophysiological characteristics, the clinical and diagnostic aspects as well as current and future therapeutical possibilities focusing allergic aspects contributing to the course of the disease.

Abstract
Patients with chronic skin diseases suffer from physical and psychosocial impairments which can lead to a cumulative life-long burden. Therefore, the concept of cumulative life course impairment (CLCI) was introduced, referring to the non-reversible damage due to the persistent life-long burden. This systematic review (PROSPERO registry number: CRD42020179141) aimed at mapping the risk factors and the associated burden over time in patients with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (AD) and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Three electronic databases were searched (date of the last search: December 2019). Studies with a longitudinal study design that assessed the association between a risk factor and the associated burden over time in patients with psoriasis, AD and HS were included. Quality assessment of the included studies was done using Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklists. In total, 40 publications reflecting 25 different studies were included: nine studies addressed patients with psoriasis, 13 patients with AD, two studies included patients with HS and one study enrolled patients with psoriasis and AD, respectively. Twenty-two potential risk factors with underlying evidence were found in this review. These risk factors include mainly sociodemographic (such as age or gender) and clinical (such as disease severity or comorbidities) variables. Disease severity and comorbidities were the most often studied risk factors, while only a few studies evaluated psychosocial risk factors over time. Patients with chronic skin diseases are at high risk to develop a life-long negative impact from the disease. However, there is a lack of data that evaluates the psychosocial burden and its influence on the patients' life course over time. The risk factors found in this review help to identify patients at risk, to treat them adequately and, ultimately, to prevent CLCI. These results can be the basis to develop a highly needed tool to assess the risk for CLCI in the future.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that may be associated with a number of comorbidities including psychosocial disorders, which are the primary focus of this article. The data presented is based on a literature search in PubMed and subsequent screening of relevant review articles and guidelines. There is a greater prevalence of depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and suicidal ideation among individuals with AD. The disease negatively impacts patients' quality of life. Children with AD have been shown to more commonly exhibit signs of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Only little data exists on the association of AD with schizophrenia, eating disorders or obsessive-compulsive disorder. There is a great need for research in the field of AD-related comorbidities, especially with respect to the question as to whether and how novel treatment options may potentially affect these comorbidities.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD), a prevalent chronic skin disease in children, has been associated with psychosocial illness and reduced quality of life because of severe itching and sleep deprivation. Previous studies have found a consistent association between AD and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, little is known about this relationship in Chinese children with AD.To investigate co-occurrence of ADHD symptoms, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms, and the relevant risk factors of AD, as well as its impact on the quality of life in Chinese school-aged children with AD.Outpatients aged 6 to 12 years with confirmed AD and healthy controls matched for age were randomly included in this study from October 2018 to October 2019. AD severity was evaluated using the Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis scale (SCORAD). Inattention, hyperactivity, and oppositional defiant symptoms were evaluated by using the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham IV Teacher and Parent 26-Item Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) questionnaires and quality of life was evaluated using the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI).The study included 89 AD patients and 184 healthy controls. AD patients were more likely to have ADHD symptoms (10.1% vs. 3.8%; P = .04) and ODD symptoms (5.6% vs 0%; P < .001) than controls, especially hyperactive/impulsive (P = .03). The severity of itching and sleep loss in AD patients were positively correlated with inattention (P = .03; P < .001), hyperactivity/impulsiveness (P = .01; P = .03), and oppositional defiance scores (P < .01; P = .04). Sleep loss in AD patients was independently associated with an increased risk of ADHD symptoms (OR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.07-2.98; P = .03). The mean CDLQI scores of AD patients were 6.98 ± 5.02, and CDLQI scores were significantly higher in AD patients with ADHD symptoms than in those without ADHD symptoms (11.44 vs. 6.48; P = .01).AD is a prevalent chronic condition associated with an increased likelihood of ADHD symptoms and ODD symptoms in school-aged children. Sleep deprivation caused by AD may be a risk factor for ADHD. AD affects quality of life, especially in patients with ADHD symptoms. AD patients with symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity should be evaluated for ADHD.

Abstract
This study aimed at exploring atopic dermatitis (AD) prevalence in children and exhaustively analyzing their comorbidity. We conducted a descriptive analysis of their socio-demographic and comorbidity characteristics in the EpiChron Cohort (Aragón, Spain). Adjusted odds ratios (OR) were calculated for each comorbidity using logistic regression models. In total, 33,591 children had a diagnosis of AD, resulting in an overall prevalence of 15.5%. AD prevalence was higher in girls compared to boys, in 3–9-year-olds compared to children of other ages, and in Spanish children compared to those of other nationalities. Multimorbidity was present in 43% of children, with the most frequent chronic comorbidities being asthma (13.1%), psychosocial disorders (7.9%), and visual impairment (7.8%). Many diseases were, regardless of their prevalence, statistically associated with AD. The strongest associations (odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI))) were found in asthma (2.10 (2.02–2.17)), allergic rhinitis (2.00 (1.91–2.10)), and irritable bowel syndrome (1.90 (1.56–2.31)). A better understanding of the array of comorbidities associated with AD in children might help improve their clinical management. Future longitudinal studies are encouraged to shed light on the potential underlying pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the identified associations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although childhood allergic diseases have been found to be associated with symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, the temporal relationship between these diseases remains unclear. In this study of 97 children, clinical examination and blood samples for total and specific IgE were collected at 6 and 12 years old. PATIENTS AND METHODS We followed a total of 97 children from 6 to 12 years old. Clinical examination and blood samples for total and specific IgE were collected at 6 and 12 years old. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant disorder symptoms at 12 years old were evaluated using the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham, Version IV Scale Parent Form. RESULTS After accounting for the affect of confounding variables, we found that allergic rhinitis at 6 years old was associated with higher inattention score at 12 years old (β-coefficient 0.356, 95% CI 0.104-0.609, p = 0.006). In addition, higher specific IgE levels for peanuts at 6 years of age were correlated with higher hyperactivity/impulsivity scores (β-coefficient 0.088, 95% CI 0.049-0.126, p < 0.001), and higher specific IgE for peanuts at 12 years of age were correlated with higher opposition/defiance scores (β-coefficient 0.054, 95% CI 0.012-0.096, p = 0.012) at 12 years old in our final linear regression models. CONCLUSION Allergic rhinitis and peanut sensitization in childhood may be associated with more symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity and oppositional defiant disorder in adolescence.

Abstract
Background Eczema phenotypes and emotional and behavioural problems are highly prevalent in childhood, but their mutual relationship is not fully clear. Objectives To examine the associations of eczema phenotypes with school‐age emotional and behavioural problems, and the bidirectional associations of eczema and emotional and behavioural problems from birth until 10 years. Methods This study among 5265 individuals was embedded in a prospective population‐based cohort study. Never, early transient, mid‐transient, late transient and persistent eczema phenotypes were identified based on parent‐reported, physician‐diagnosed eczema from age 6 months until 10 years. Emotional (internalizing) and behavioural (externalizing) problems were measured repeatedly using the Child Behavior Checklist from age 1·5 to 10 years. Cross‐lagged models were applied for bidirectional analyses. Results All eczema phenotypes were associated with more internalizing problems and attention problems at age 10 years, compared with never having eczema: range of Z‐score differences 0·14 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0·01–0·27] to 0·39 (95% CI 0·18–0·60). Children with early transient eczema had more aggressive behaviour symptoms at age 10 years (Z = 0·16, 95% CI 0·05–0·27). Bidirectional analysis showed that eczema at 0–2 years was associated with more internalizing and externalizing problems at ages 3–6 and 10 years, while, inversely, only internalizing problems at 0–2 years were associated with an increased risk of eczema at age 10 years. Conclusions Eczema phenotypes are very modestly associated with more somatic symptoms and attention problems at school age. Early transient eczema is associated with more aggressive behaviour symptoms. Directional effects seem to occur from early‐life eczema to later‐life internalizing and externalizing problems, rather than the reverse. What's already known about this topic? Previous cohort studies using non‐data‐driven methods to define eczema phenotypes observed that children with early‐onset and persistent eczema had a higher risk of emotional and behavioural problems in preadolescence. Alternatively, previous cohort studies showed that children with emotional and behavioural problems had more severe eczema and eczema exacerbations in childhood. The direction of effects between eczema and emotional and behavioural problems is not fully clear.
What does this study add? Taking the variability of eczema onset and persistence within and between children over time into account, all identified eczema phenotypes were very modestly associated with more somatic symptoms and attention problems at school age. Directional effects seem to occur from eczema leading to emotional and behavioural problems, rather than the reverse. Future research should focus on the effect of early optimal eczema management on mental health disorders in children later in life.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are common chronic skin diseases affecting children. These disorders negatively impact the quality of life (QoL) of patients in health-related aspects such as physical, psychosocial, and mental functioning. This health impact is more accurately represented when accounting for the numerous comorbidities associated with each disorder, and the impact the disorders have on patients’ families. A number of QoL tools have been developed and can be routinely implemented in the evaluation of QoL in pediatric patients and their caregivers. Ways to improve QoL include a multidisciplinary approach to care, education, and psychological support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with mental health disorders, but its impact on global mental health symptoms is less clear. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between pediatric AD and mental health impairment. METHODS In a cross-sectional study using 2013-2017 United States National Health Interview Survey data, children with and without AD were assessed for mental disorder with impairment (MDI) using a validated behavioral screening questionnaire. Mental health services utilization was also reported. RESULTS The prevalence of any MDI was 26.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 25.1-28.3) among children with AD and 17.7% (95% CI, 17.2-18.2) among those without AD, with severe MDI being present in 10.9% (95% CI 9.9-12.1) and 6.2% (95% CI 5.9-6.5), respectively. Adjusted for sociodemographic factors, AD was associated with higher odds of MDI (odds ratio, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.39-1.67), including impairments in conduct, emotions, peer relationships, and attention. Among children with AD, 19.9% (95% CI, 16.6-23.8) and 53.5% (95% CI, 48.5-58.5) of those with mild or severe MDI, respectively, had seen a mental health professional in the last year. LIMITATIONS Misclassification bias may arise from self-reported data. CONCLUSION AD is associated with clinically significant mental health symptoms, but many affected children may not seek or receive care for their symptoms.

Abstract
Assessing the psychological effects on children and adolescents of suffering atopic dermatitis (AD) is essential, when planning successful management. This study aimed to systematically review the literature regarding risk of mental disorders in children and adolescents with, or without, AD; and to explore confounders. We identified potentially relevant studies from EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, ERIC, the British Nursing Index, the Family and Society Studies Worldwide, the Social Work Abstracts, and the Sociological Abstracts from inception to Sep 30, 2018. Investigators independently screened titles and abstracts, and then full-texts. Investigators independently extracted data from included studies. Meta-analyses using random-effects models were performed, reporting odds ratios (ORs; 95% CIs). Thirty-seven studies (n = 2,068,911 children/ adolescents) were included. Meta-analysis of 35 studies found that children and adolescents with AD had significantly higher risk of total mental disorders than those without AD (OR = 1.652; 95% CI, 1.463-1.864). There was no significant difference in risks for ADHD (OR = 1.563; 95% CI, 1.382-1.769); sleep disorders (OR = 2.100; 95% CI, 1.322-3.336); anxiety (OR = 1.339; 95% CI, 1.062-1.687); depression (OR = 1.402 95% CI, 1.256-1.565); conduct disorder (OR = 1.494 95% CI, 1.230-1.815); or ASD (OR = 2.574; 95% CI, 1.469-4.510; Q b = 8.344, p = 0.138). Race/ethnicity of child, target of comparison, type of studies, representativeness of the sample, measures of AD and mental disorders were significant moderators for total mental disorders. Integrated, holistic, multidisciplinary management of pediatric AD is significantly important, which emphasizes the well-being of the whole person.

Associations of atopic dermatitis and asthma with child behaviour: Results from the PROBIT cohort. Clin Exp Allergy 2019; 49:1235-1244. [PMID: 31081565 DOI: 10.1111/cea.13417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2018] [Revised: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Conflicting findings from studies evaluating associations of allergic disease with child behaviour require longitudinal studies to resolve. OBJECTIVE To estimate the magnitude of associations of atopic dermatitis (AD) in infancy, and symptoms of asthma and AD at 6.5 years, with child behaviour at 6.5 years. METHODS Secondary cohort analysis of the Promotion of Breastfeeding Intervention Trial (PROBIT). PROBIT enrolled 17 046 infants at birth and followed them up at 6.5 years (n = 13 889). Study paediatricians collected data on infantile AD at repeated follow-up examinations during the first year of life. At 6.5 years, paediatricians performed skin prick tests and parents reported asthma and AD symptoms during the prior year. In addition, parents and teachers completed the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire, which includes scales on hyperactivity/inattention, emotional problems, conduct problems, peer problems and prosocial behaviours. RESULTS Physician-diagnosed AD in the first year of life was not associated with increased risk for behavioural problems at 6.5 years. Emotional problems at 6.5 years were more common among children with AD symptoms (OR: 2.24, 95% CI: 1.62-3.12) and asthma symptoms (OR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.07-1.96) during the past year at 6.5 years and ORs for children with symptoms of more severe AD and asthma were also higher. AD in the past year was also associated with probable hyperactivity/inattention disorder at 6.5 years (OR: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.09-3.84). Other subscales of the SDQ were not related to asthma or AD symptoms during the past year. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Children with AD symptoms were at higher risk for concomitant hyperactivity/inattention and emotional disorder, and children with asthma symptoms were at higher risk of having concomitant emotional problems. However, AD during infancy did not predict childhood behaviours.

Abstract
The consequences of atopic dermatitis reach beyond the skin and past childhood. Patients with atopic dermatitis are at risk of developing allergic comorbidities, but less is known about the associations between atopic dermatitis and non-allergic conditions. Understanding these non-allergic comorbidities has the potential to improve patient outcomes and to help mitigate the cost and burdens associated with these conditions. Atopic dermatitis is associated with cutaneous bacterial infections, more severe forms/courses of cutaneous viral infections, and extra-cutaneous infections. Atopic dermatitis is also associated with several mental health comorbidities particularly attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and depression. Data are largely inconsistent for specific cancers, but atopic dermatitis appears to protect against malignancy overall; severe long-term atopic dermatitis is associated with adult lymphomas. Atopic dermatitis may also be associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disease, particularly alopecia areata and gastrointestinal immune-mediated disorders. Although the causative mechanisms underlying these associations are poorly understood, treating physicians should be aware of associations in seeking to alleviate the burden for patients with atopic dermatitis.

Abstract
We investigated factors associated with quality of life (QOL) in children with eczema. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of survey data from 224 parents of children with eczema attending a large, hospital-based pediatric clinic. Parents completed a validated eczema severity scale (Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure), a QOL scale (Infants' Dermatitis QOL Index or Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index), and a knowledge and understanding questionnaire. In adjusted multivariate analyses, worse eczema severity was associated with worse overall QOL (β = 0.5; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.5, 0.6]), while a higher knowledge score was associated with better QOL (β = -3.4; 95% CI = [-6.6, -0.2]). Similarly, even after adjustment for eczema severity, greater understanding of a child's individual treatment plan was associated with better QOL (β = -0.7; 95% CI = [-1.4, -0.08]), while increased frequency of worrying about a child's eczema was associated with worse QOL (β = 0.7; 95% CI = [0.03, 1.1]). These results suggest primary care providers may be able to influence QOL through optimal eczema management and family education.

J Affect Disord 2018; 238:458-464.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies were conducted to investigate the association between eczema and risk of depression. This was important because the care of patients with eczema might be inadequate if their psychological problems were not also recognized and treated. However, these studies had some inherent limitations such as small sample sizes or lack of controlling for potential confounders. Further, little was known about psychological co-morbidity of eczema from a global perspective. METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed (1966 through January 26th 2017), Cochrane Library (the Cochrane central register of controlled trials, up to January 26th 2017), Scopus (up to December 31st 2016) and Embase (1980 through January 26th 2017) supplemented by manual searches of bibliographies and conference proceedings. The relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was estimated. RESULTS Ten studies with a total of 188,495 patients were included. Overall, the random effects model summarizing all comparisons suggested a positive association between eczema and risk of depression, the pooled RR was 2.02 (95% confidence interval 1.76 to 2.31, I² = 33.7%). Similar results were observed in subgroup analysis by region. LIMITATIONS Methodological limitations such as selection biases, sample sizes, severity of other diseases, treatment strategy, age and other factors might have influenced the results. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that patients with eczema were associated with an increased risk of depression. These findings implicated that clinical doctors should continue to be more aware of the association between eczema and the risk of depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between eczema and mental health problems in schoolchildren has been underexplored. We aimed to investigate this association with the validated questionnaires. METHODS Of 46,648 invited children, we analyzed 9954 (21.3%) in the 2nd to the 8th grades from the ToMMo Child Health Study conducted in 2014 and 2015, a cross-sectional survey in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. We defined eczema status as "normal," "mild/moderate," or "severe," based on the presence of persistent flexural eczema and sleep disturbance, according to the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) Eczema Symptom Questionnaire. Clinical ranges of Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) total difficulties scores and four SDQ subcategories of emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention, and peer problems were defined as scores ≥16, ≥5, ≥5, ≥7, and ≥5, respectively. RESULTS The mean SDQ total difficulties score significantly increased as eczema status worsened (all P ≤ 0.004 for trend). The OR of scores in the clinical range for SDQ total difficulties were 1.51 (95% CI, 1.31-1.74) for mild/moderate eczema and 2.63 (95% CI, 1.91-3.63) for severe eczema (P < 0.001 for trend), adjusted for sex, school grade, current wheeze, and disaster-related factors, using normal eczema as a reference. The association between severity of eczema and four SDQ subcategories showed a similar trend (all P ≤ 0.017 for trend). CONCLUSIONS We found a significant association between severity of eczema and mental health problems. The presence of eczema was associated with four SDQ subcategories.

Abstract
Dermatological conditions are common among children. They are a frequent cause of presentation to health care services and a leading contributor to burden of disease. Evidence supports the notion that bidirectional relationships exist between children’s physical and psychological health, whereby the child’s dermatological condition can impact their psychological health and well-being, while, in the reverse direction, psychological factors (eg, stress) can impact the severity and course of the child’s skin disease. The psychological impact of dermatological conditions in childhood needs to be taken into account during the assessment, planning, and treatment phases of management. Likewise, the potential effect of children’s emotional and behavioral difficulties on management, particularly in terms of the impact on parents’ ability to implement their child’s treatment plan, should be considered. This literature review summarizes the current evidence for the relationships between three common chronic dermatological conditions of childhood – atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and urticaria – and psychological adjustment and quality of life in childhood. Overall, a general paucity of research in the pediatric context – combined with limitations in terms of study design, variability in operationalization of constructs, and heterogeneity in measurement of outcomes – makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions in this area. Based on the available research, implications for successful long-term management of these conditions are discussed in terms of integrating psychological and parenting support with medical management to improve adherence, reduce disease severity, and improve quality of life for children and their families.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD), a common chronic pruritic inflammatory skin disease, impacts the quality of life of patients and caregivers and has become a global health problem. It is increasingly recognized as a disease not only of children but also of adults who may have a persistent or relapsing course from childhood or who develop new-onset adult disease. Besides well-established atopic comorbidities, associations with a number of nonatopic comorbidities have been reported. AD is characterized by both immune dysregulation and epidermal barrier dysfunction. The findings that nonlesional skin in AD has both terminal keratinocyte differentiation defects and immune abnormalities as well as multiple markers of immune and inflammatory activation in the circulation point to the systemic nature of the disease and have important translational implications. Although AD is predominantly associated with type 2 immune responses, activation of other cytokine pathways including TH1, TH22, and TH17/IL-23 has been reported, suggesting potential therapeutic targets and provide a rationale for treatment with novel biologics. Dupilumab, a fully human mAb targeting the IL-4 Rα subunit, blocks signaling of both IL-4 and IL-13 and is the first biologic to be approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD in adult patients. Other biologics in current trials for AD are targeting the IL-31 receptor, IL-13, and the common p40 subunit of IL-12/IL-23.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiologic evidence indicates a relevant association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Underlying mechanisms and ways to best identify subgroups of AD patients at risk for ADHD are poorly understood. AIMS OF THE STUDY To compare sociodemographic, clinical and psychosocial characteristics of children with AD, ADHD, comorbid AD/ADHD and age-matched healthy controls and to investigate aspects of AD related to ADHD symptoms. METHODS Applying a factorial design, we investigated 4 groups of children aged 6-12 years: AD-only (ie, without ADHD), ADHD-only (ie, without AD), AD + ADHD and healthy controls (HC; ie, no AD/no ADHD). Using validated instruments, ADHD symptoms and other behavioural problems, quality of life, parenting stress and sleeping problems were compared between groups. In children with AD-only, clinical signs (objective SCORAD), symptoms (POEM, VAS pruritus, VAS sleeping problems) and previous treatment of AD were assessed to investigate disease patterns related to ADHD symptoms. RESULTS Compared to HC (n = 47), children with AD-only (n = 42), ADHD-only (n = 34) and comorbid AD + ADHD (n = 31) had significantly increased behavioural problems and decreased quality of life. Children with AD-only had significantly higher levels of ADHD symptoms than HC. In children with AD-only, previous use of antihistamines was significantly associated with increased ADHD symptoms (OR 1.88; 95% CI 1.04-3.39). Current clinical signs and AD symptoms were unrelated to the level of ADHD symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Even if the clinical diagnosis of ADHD is excluded, children with AD show increased levels of ADHD symptoms. Further investigations need to determine whether early antihistamine exposure is a major risk factor for ADHD or a surrogate for previous AD severity and/or associated sleeping problems.

GINIplus and LISAplus - Design and selected results of two German birth cohorts about natural course of atopic diseases and their determinants. Allergol Select 2017; 1:85-95.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of asthma, hay fever, and allergic sensitization in Western Germany after east-west division in 1949 and their rapid increase in East German children after re-unification in 1990 are strong indications for the role of life-style and/or environmental factors in the development of atopic diseases. Obviously, the perinatal period is crucial for priming the immune system. Therefore, explorations of determinants of atopic diseases need pregnancy or birth cohorts as the most appropriate epidemiological study designs. This review presents the design and selected results of the two German birth cohorts GINIplus and LISAplus. GINIplus and LISAplus recruited 5.991 and 3.097 healthy, term newborns, respectively, from Munich, Wesel, Leipzig, and Bad Honnef. Approximately 55% could be followed for the first 10 years. We analyzed the natural course of atopic diseases and the role of life-style, environmental, and genetic factors for disease onset, intermediate phenotypes, and genes involved in detoxification and oxidative stress. The results of these two large birth cohorts contributed substantially to the understanding of atopic diseases and their determinants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic skin disorder, which may persist into adulthood; however, the prevalence of comorbidities in patients with AD is not well characterized. AD is considered a systemic disorder like psoriasis, which has raised a need for data on the comorbidity profile of patients with AD, to assess the potential risks, benefits, and complications in management of patients with AD. We described the occurrence of medical and psychiatric comorbidities and associated risk factors in adults with AD compared with psoriasis and the general population. METHODS All Danish individuals aged ≥18 years with a hospital (inpatient or ambulatory) diagnosis of AD or psoriasis during the study period (January 1, 1995-December 31, 2012) were linked in administrative registers. RESULTS Overall, prevalence of smoking and alcohol abuse was higher among patients with AD than the general population, but lower than psoriasis patients. Similarly, patients with AD had more risk factors and higher prevalence of comorbidity than the general population, but lower prevalence and reduced risk compared to psoriasis patients, except for use of anxiolytics, which was higher in severe AD. Prevalence of diabetes was lower in AD than psoriasis patients as well as general population controls. CONCLUSIONS Despite an increased risk of various medical and psychiatric comorbidities compared to general population controls, adult patients with AD had markedly lower prevalence of cardiovascular disease than psoriasis patients. However, prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity and tobacco smoking was alarmingly high in severe patients with AD, which might be target for intervention in patient management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reports of frequent manifestation of allergic diseases in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been the subject of mounting clinical interest. However, evidence supporting the association between ADHD and allergies is inconsistent and has yet to be systematically reviewed. The objective of this study was to compile and assess available studies on the association between ADHD and allergic diseases in children. METHODS A comprehensive search using MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane library, and CINAHL databases was completed in 23 November 2015. The inclusion criteria for studies were that the research assessed allergic diseases in children, 18 years of age and younger, with a diagnosis of ADHD and that a distinct comparison group was incorporated. Any comparative studies, encompassing both randomized controlled trials and observational studies, were considered for inclusion. Two review authors independently assessed the quality of the selected studies by the use of validated assessment tools, performed data extraction and conducted meta-analysis according to Cochrane Collaboration guidelines. RESULTS Five eligible studies were included in this systematic review. Of these studies, three were case-control and two were cross sectional studies. A majority of information from the five studies was classified as having low or unclear risk of bias. The meta-analysis showed an association between children with ADHD and asthma compared with the control groups (OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.57 - 2.07; five studies, low quality of evidence), but did not indicate an association between food allergy and ADHD (OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.88 - 1.47; three studies very low quality of evidence). The odds of experiencing allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and allergic conjunctivitis were slightly higher in children with ADHD compared with control groups, though a substantial statistical heterogeneity was notable in the overall effect estimates. CONCLUSIONS The findings from this review and meta-analysis show that children with ADHD are more likely to have asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and allergic conjunctivitis than their counterparts. Interventions including strategies for managing allergies in children with ADHD would be beneficial.

Abstract
The relationship between skin and psychiatric disorders is not an uncommon occurrence in the clinical practice; however, there are only a few systematic studies and in addition knowledge about the neurobiological and immunological mechanisms is lacking. Impairments and disorders of the skin are often an (early) sign of a psychiatric disorder. In the sense of true psychosomatics, psychiatrists should also be aware of this relationship as far as possible. This review article focuses on the most important dermatological diagnoses in relation to the respective psychiatric comorbidities and presents the most important aspects of epidemiology, symptomatology, pathophysiology and treatment options.

Abstract
Over the last decades, the hypothesis has been raised that an atopic response could lead to the development of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study systematically reviews the observational cross-sectional and longitudinal studies that assessed the association between atopic disorders including asthma, atopic eczema, allergic rhinitis, and ADHD in children and adolescents. For longitudinal studies, a weighted Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio of these associations was estimated. The majority of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies reported a statistically significant positive association. The meta-analysis of longitudinal studies revealed an overall weighted odds ratio for asthma of 1.34 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.24-1.44), 1.32 (95% CI 1.20-1.45) for atopic eczema, and 1.52 (95% CI 1.43-1.63) for allergic rhinitis. Heterogeneity of study data was low (I2: 0%, p=0.46 and p=0.64, respectively) for both studies examining asthma and eczema but substantial for rhinitis studies (I2: 82%, p=0.004). This current systematic review provides strong evidence that ADHD is associated with atopic diseases and that individuals have a 30% to 50% greater chance of developing ADHD compared to controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the association of eczema, asthma and hay fever with mental health in a general child population and to assess the influence of parental socioeconomic position on these associations. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional health survey of children aged 3, 6, 11 and 15 years in the City of Copenhagen, Denmark. Individual questionnaire data on eczema, asthma, and hay fever and mental health problems assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was linked to register data on demographics and parental socioeconomic position. 9215 (47.9%) children were included in the analyses. RESULTS Linear regression analyses showed that children with current eczema symptoms had higher SDQ scores (mean difference, 95% CI) of emotional problems (0.26, 0.12 to 0.39), conduct problems (0.19, 0.09 to 0.29) and hyperactivity problems (0.32, 0.16 to 0.48); children with current asthma symptoms had higher SDQ scores of emotional problems (0.45, 0.32 to 0.58), conduct problems (0.28, 0.18 to 0.38) and hyperactivity problems (0.52, 0.35 to 0.69); and children with current hay fever symptoms had higher SDQ scores of emotional problems (0.57, 0.42 to 0.72), conduct problems (0.22, 0.11 to 0.33), hyperactivity problems (0.44, 0.26 to 0.61) and peer problems (0.14, 0.01 to 0.26), compared with children without current symptoms of the relevant disease. For most associations, parental socioeconomic position did not modify the effect. CONCLUSIONS Children with eczema, asthma or hay fever had more emotional, conduct and hyperactivity problems, but not peer problems, compared with children without these diseases. Atopic diseases added equally to the burden of mental health problems independent of socioeconomic position.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aim to investigate the detailed associations between allergic diseases with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) among children. METHODS Clinical information from 2,896 children enrolled in the Taiwan Children Health Study was obtained for analyses. Allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis, have been evaluated based on the questions adjusted from International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. The Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham questionnaire was used to assess symptoms of ADHD and ODD. Symptoms of depression, stress, and poor sleep quality were evaluated as the interactive risk factors. RESULTS Children having symptoms of allergic diseases within the past 1 y were associated with having all dimensions of symptoms of ADHD and ODD. Children with ever having a physician-diagnosed atopic dermatitis were associated with inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms of ADHD. Ever diagnosed asthma was associated with ADHD and ODD. Ever diagnosed allergic rhinitis was associated with inattentive and combined symptoms of ADHD and ODD. CONCLUSION Children with allergic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis, were associated with exhibiting ADHD and ODD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with chronic itch, allergic disease and sleep disturbance, all of which might increase the risk of attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder (ADD/ADHD). Previous analyses have found a consistent association between AD and ADD/ADHD, although the underlying factors contributing to such an association remain underexplored. Additionally, the relationship has been underexplored in adults. OBJECTIVES To determine if childhood and adult AD and AD severity are associated with ADD/ADHD and to delineate the factors contributing to such an association. METHODS We analysed data on 354 416 children aged 2-17 years and 34 613 adults age 18+ years from 19 U.S. population-based surveys, including the National Health Interview Survey 1997-2013 and the National Survey of Children's Health 2003/4 and 2007/8. RESULTS In multivariate models adjusting for age, sex, sociodemographics, allergic disease and healthcare utilization, AD was associated with ADD/ADHD in both children [adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval), 1·14 (1·03-1·26)] and adults [1·61 (1·25-2·06)]. Children with both severe AD and only 0-3 nights of adequate sleep per week had much higher odds of ADD/ADHD [16·83 (7·02-40·33)] than those with 0-3 nights of adequate sleep per week [1·83 (1·47-2·26)] or mild-moderate AD alone [1·56 (1·22-1·99)]. AD was most strongly associated with severe ADHD. AD unaccompanied by other allergic disease was also associated with increased risk of ADD/ADHD in children. Among children with AD, history of anaemia, headaches and obesity were associated with even higher odds of ADD/ADHD. Asthma, insomnia and headaches increased the odds of ADHD in adults with AD, although underweight body mass index was protective. CONCLUSIONS Atopic dermatitis is associated with increased odds of ADD/ADHD in adults and children. Several factors increase the risk of ADHD in adults and children with AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies found conflicting results about whether childhood atopic dermatitis (AD) persists into adulthood. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine persistence rates and clinical factors associated with prolonged AD. METHODS A systematic review was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, GREAT, LILACS, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete, and Cochrane Library. Meta-analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier plots and random-effects proportional hazards regression. RESULTS In total, 45 studies including 110,651 subjects spanning 434,992 patient-years from 15 countries were included. In pooled analysis, 80% of childhood AD did not persist by 8 years and less than 5% persisted by 20 years after diagnosis (mean ± SE: 6.1 ± 0.02 years). Children with AD that persisted already for more than 10 years (8.3 ± 0.08 years) had longer persistence than those with 3 (3.2 ± 0.02 years) or 5 (6.8 ± 0.06 years) years of persistence. Children who developed AD by age 2 years had less persistent disease (P < .0001). Persistence was greater in studies using patient-/caregiver-assessed versus physician-assessed outcomes, female versus male patients (P ≤ .0006), but not in those with sensitivity to allergens (P = .90). Three studies found prolonged persistence with more severe AD. LIMITATIONS Some studies did not capture recurrences later in life. CONCLUSIONS Most childhood AD remitted by adulthood. However, children with already persistent disease, later onset, and/or more severe disease have increased persistence.

Abstract
BackgroundEczema is a very common chronic inflammatory skin condition.ObjectivesTo update the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment (HTA) systematic review of treatments for atopic eczema, published in 2000, and to inform health-care professionals, commissioners and patients about key treatment developments and research gaps.Data sourcesElectronic databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Skin Group Specialised Register, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (AMED) and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) were searched from the end of 2000 to 31 August 2013. Retrieved articles were used to identify further randomised controlled trials (RCTs).Review methodsStudies were filtered according to inclusion criteria and agreed by consensus in cases of uncertainty. Abstracts were excluded and non-English-language papers were screened by international colleagues and data were extracted. Only RCTs of treatments for eczema were included, as other forms of evidence are associated with higher risks of bias. Inclusion criteria for studies included availability of data relevant to the therapeutic management of eczema; mention of randomisation; comparison of two or more treatments; and prospective data collection. Participants of all ages were included. Eczema diagnosis was determined by a clinician or according to published diagnostic criteria. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration risk-of-bias tool. We used a standardised approach to summarising the data and the assessment of risk of bias and we made a clear distinction between what the studies found and our own interpretation of study findings.ResultsOf 7198 references screened, 287 new trials were identified spanning 92 treatments. Trial reporting was generally poor (randomisation method: 2% high, 36% low, 62% unclear risk of bias; allocation concealment: 3% high, 15% low, 82% unclear risk of bias; blinding of the intervention: 15% high, 28% low, 57% unclear risk of bias). Only 22 (8%) trials were considered to be at low risk of bias for all three criteria. There was reasonable evidence of benefit for the topical medications tacrolimus, pimecrolimus and various corticosteroids (with tacrolimus superior to pimecrolimus and corticosteroids) for both treatment and flare prevention; oral ciclosporin; oral azathioprine; narrow band ultraviolet B (UVB) light; Atopiclair™ and education. There was reasonable evidence to suggest no clinically useful benefit for twice-daily compared with once-daily topical corticosteroids; corticosteroids containing antibiotics for non-infected eczema; probiotics; evening primrose and borage oil; ion-exchange water softeners; protease inhibitor SRD441 (Serentis Ltd); furfuryl palmitate in emollient; cipamfylline cream; andMycobacterium vaccaevaccine. Additional research evidence is needed for emollients, bath additives, antibacterials, specialist clothing and complementary and alternative therapies. There was no RCT evidence for topical corticosteroid dilution, impregnated bandages, soap avoidance, bathing frequency or allergy testing.LimitationsThe large scope of the review coupled with the heterogeneity of outcomes precluded formal meta-analyses. Our conclusions are still limited by a profusion of small, poorly reported studies.ConclusionsAlthough the evidence base of RCTs has increased considerably since the last NIHR HTA systematic review, the field is still severely hampered by poor design and reporting problems including failure to register trials and declare primary outcomes, small sample size, short follow-up duration and poor reporting of risk of bias. Key areas for further research identified by the review include the optimum use of emollients, bathing frequency, wash products, allergy testing and antiseptic treatments. Perhaps the greatest benefit identified is the use of twice weekly anti-inflammatory treatment to maintain disease remission. More studies need to be conducted in a primary care setting where most people with eczema are seen in the UK. Future studies need to use the same core set of outcomes that capture patient symptoms, clinical signs, quality of life and the chronic nature of the disease.FundingThe National Institute for Health Research Programme Grants for Applied Research programme.

Abstract
The relationship between atopic dermatitis (AD) and psychological distress has been well established for children and adolescents. However, it is unclear whether this relationship exists in young adults. This study aimed to assess the relationship between AD and psychological distress in young male adults in South Korea. A cross-sectional study was conducted using regional conscription data from 2008 to 2012. A dermatologist diagnosed AD based on historical and clinical features, and determined severity using the eczema area and severity index. A psychiatrist used medical records, an interview, and a psychological test to examine psychological distress (depression, anxiety, and somatization). The relationship between psychological distress and AD was assessed by multivariate logistic regression analyses. Among the 120,508 conscripts, 1517 (1.2%) presented with AD. The odds of having each type of psychological distress were significantly greater for individuals with AD compared with those without AD. The adjusted odds ratios for depression, anxiety, and somatization were 1.79 (95% CI 1.40-2.29), 1.38 (95% CI 1.08-1.76), and 1.75 (95% CI 1.40-2.20), respectively. Moderate-to-severe AD was significantly related to depression and somatization to a greater extent compared with mild AD. Depression, anxiety, and somatization are strongly and independently associated with AD in young adult males. Early treatment of skin inflammation might modify the risk of psychiatric problems. Prospective cohort studies are needed to verify causal relationships.

Abstract
Multidisciplinary interventions have been developed for patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and their families, with the aim of improving outcomes such as disease control, adherence, and quality of life. We reviewed the content of different multidisciplinary approaches to intervention for AD and evidence for their impact on key outcome measures. We also provided data from our multidisciplinary outpatient program for pediatric AD. Studies included in the review suggest benefits of multidisciplinary interventions as models of treatment or adjuncts to standard medical care, with a positive impact on outcomes including disease severity and itching/scratching. There were limitations to existing studies, including heterogeneous methods used to assess quality of life outcomes across studies and lack of controlled studies assessing the outcome of clinical care programs. Further research will be useful in assessing the impact of multidisciplinary interventions on important outcomes such as treatment adherence and sleep, identifying the elements of multidisciplinary interventions that are most critical for improved outcomes, and identifying the best candidates for multidisciplinary intervention approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether maternal mental health mediates the relationship between eczema or asthma symptoms and mental well-being in children. STUDY DESIGN Analysis of 7250 children from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Child mental well-being at 8 years was measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Binary outcomes were high 'internalizing' (anxious/depressive) and 'externalizing' (oppositional/hyperactive) problems (high was >90th percentile). Child rash and wheeze categories were 'none'; 'early onset transient' (infancy/preschool only); 'persistent' (infancy/preschool and at school age); and 'late onset' (school age only). Maternal anxiety and depression were reported during pregnancy and when child was 8 years old. RESULTS Persistent wheezing symptoms were associated with high externalizing (OR 1.74, 95% CI, 1.41-2.15) and internalizing (1.67, 1.35-2.06) problems compared with never wheeze. Maternal anxiety and depression, and disrupted child sleep, attenuated these associations. Persistent rash (externalizing: 1.74, 1.40-2.15; internalizing: 1.42, 1.16-1.74) and late onset rash (externalizing: 1.62, 1.17-2.25; internalizing: 1.46, 1.07-1.99) symptoms were associated with poorer mental well-being compared with no rash at any age. Maternal anxiety and depression, particularly when child was aged 8 years rather than during pregnancy, accounted for the association with internalizing symptoms and partly for externalizing symptoms. Sleep disruption did not mediate the association. CONCLUSIONS Maternal anxiety and depression may mediate the association between child rash and wheeze and child mental well-being.
