Abstract
INTRODUCTION Children with atopic dermatitis (AD) are more at risk for the neurodevelopmental disorders attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with parallel increases in global prevalences. Children afflicted with these conditions appear to share similar problems in sensory modulation but investigational studies on the underlying aetiology are scarce. This scoping review aims to find knowledge gaps, collate hypotheses and to summarise available evidence on the shared pathophysiology of AD, ADHD and ASD in children. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Our study will follow the methodological manual published by the Joanna Briggs Methodology for Scoping Reviews and will be reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. The following electronic databases will be searched for studies focused on children with AD and symptoms of ADHD and/or ASD: Medline ALL via Ovid, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials via Wiley. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This review does not require ethics approval as it will not be conducted with human participants. We will only use published data. Our dissemination strategy includes peer review publication and conference reports.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4778. [PMID: 38731996 PMCID: PMC11083669 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a condition with a multifactorial aetiology that affects the skin. It most often begins at preschool age and involves the skin. The disease's main symptom is intense itching, which occurs especially at night and affects the child's sleep, negatively impacting the quality of life of affected children and, consequently, their families. The difficulty in resting during the night leads to many problems during the day, particularly behavioural disorders and difficulties in paying attention at school, which results in learning impairment. The unexpected symptoms of AD are caused by pathophysiological processes that include many molecular pathways and inflammatory cytokines such as IL-31, IL-1, IL-2, TNF-a, and IL-6. Drawing on a comprehensive review of the literature in PubMed/MedLine, our review offers an in-depth exploration of both the psychosocial impacts of AD and the molecular processes that contribute to this disorder.

J Allergy Clin Immunol 2024; 153:1040-1049.e12. [PMID: 38157942 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2023.11.924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rademikibart (CBP-201) is a next-generation IL-4 receptor alpha-targeting antibody. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate rademikibart in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. METHODS A total of 226 patients were randomized, double-blind, to subcutaneous rademikibart (300 mg every 2 weeks [Q2W], 150 mg Q2W, 300 mg every 4 weeks [Q4W]; plus 600-mg loading dose) or placebo. Randomization began in July 2020. The trial was completed in October 2021. RESULTS The WW001 phase 2 trial achieved its primary end point: significant percent reduction from baseline in least-squares mean Eczema Area Severity Index (EASI) to week 16 with rademikibart 300 mg Q2W (-63.0%; P = .0007), 150 mg Q2W (-57.6%; P = .0067), 300 mg Q4W (-63.5%; P = .0004) versus placebo (-39.7%). EASI scores decreased significantly with 300 mg Q2W and Q4W at the earliest assessment (week 2), with no evidence of plateauing by week 16. Significant improvements were also observed in secondary end points, including pruritus. Across the primary and secondary end points, efficacy tended to be comparable with 300 mg Q2W and Q4W dosing. Rademikibart and placebo had similar, low incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (48% vs 54%), serious TEAEs (1.8% vs 3.6%), TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation (1.2% vs 1.8%), conjunctivitis of unspecified cause (2.9% vs 0%), herpes (0.6% vs 1.8%), and injection-site reactions (1.8% vs 1.8%). Although no discontinuations were attributed to coronavirus disease 2019, pandemic-related restrictions likely had an impact on trial conduct. CONCLUSIONS Rademikibart was efficacious and well tolerated at Q2W and Q4W intervals. Q4W dosing is a more convenient frequency than approved for current therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects both children and adults. AD increases the risk of developing comorbidities like asthma, allergic rhinitis and food allergies. AD patients face difficulties, including itching, lack of effective treatments, lack of funding and discomfort in seeking a diagnosis or treatment. This study aims to identify the main barriers and opportunities to improve the experience of patients with AD and provide high-quality care. METHODS Patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals were recruited from the Dermatology Department at Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda University Hospital (Madrid, Spain). Interviews with patients, caregivers and professionals were performed. Participants used storyboards to depict their preferred scenarios for improving healthcare interactions and create a Patient Journey Map. RESULTS A total of 15 participants were included in the study. Early symptoms of AD were commonly described as undefined stages. As symptoms worsened, patients and caregivers expressed uncertainty and frustration. Patients became concerned about AD after their first serious flare and started experiencing intense itching, eczema, wounds, shedding or asthma. Topical corticosteroids were used to manage flares, but their effectiveness diminished over time, causing further frustration. Because of the ineffectiveness of their initial treatments, dermatologists observed that patients tended to downplay symptoms and how they affected their quality of life. The specialized treatment of severe AD significantly changed patients' emotional states. Despite AD's chronic nature, patients strived to enjoy remission periods and cope with flares. Psychological and emotional support was crucial for patients and caregivers, a need addressed by the Patients' School initiative at HUPHM hospital. CONCLUSION The severity of AD has a profound impact on patients' lives. Patient and caregiver emotional and social needs can be met by adequate communication, access to effective treatments and comprehensive psychological support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and suicidal behaviors in adolescent defectors among residents who escaped from North Korean (adolescent defectors, n=423) and adolescents with South Korean parents (Korean adolescents, n=540,265). METHODS The study used data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey conducted from 2011 to 2019. Differences in general characteristics, health behaviors, suicidal ideation, suicide plans, suicide attempts, and AD between adolescent defectors and Korean adolescents were examined. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between AD and suicidal behaviors. RESULTS The adolescent defectors group had lower AD (16.3% vs. 24.2%), poorer subjective health (10% vs. 6%), smoked more (47% vs. 18%), drank more (60% vs. 43%), lived with family less frequently (56% vs. 96%), and were more than twice as likely to have depression (42% vs. 27%), suicidal ideation (30% vs. 14%), a suicide plan (23% vs. 5%), or have made a prior suicide attempt (19% vs. 3%) compared with the Korean adolescent group (p<0.001). The adjusted odds ratio for the adolescent defectors group compared to the Korean adolescent group was 1.66 for suicidal ideation, 3.59 for suicide plans, and 4.34 for suicide attempts (p<0.001). AD was found to be associated with suicide plans and attempts in adolescent defectors and associated with suicidal ideation in Korean adolescents. CONCLUSION AD was significantly associated with suicide plans and suicidal attempts among adolescent defectors and suicidal ideation in Korean adolescents, based on a random sample of middle- and high-school students.

Abstract
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) induces alterations of external appearance and self-esteem, with impact on the personal development of the children. However, tools for estimating such suffering are lacking. We aimed to assess how children with AD represent themselves through their drawings. Methods: In this retrospective study, we included children (<18 years) suffering from AD who followed the instruction "draw yourself with and without eczema" at the end of a routine follow-up consultation. Drawings were interpreted with the child and then classified in different analysis groups by 5 independent evaluators. Results: A total of 64 children (41 [64.1%] girls and 23 [35.9%] boys, median [range] age 8 [3-7] years) made 64 drawings. Five groups of drawing were identified: "amputee" (n = 8, 12.5%), "identical" (n = 18, 28.1%), "sad" (n = 19, 29.7%), "complex" (n = 11, 17.2%), and "other" (n = 8, 12.5%). Univariate analysis found that age was differently distributed among the different drawing groups (P = 0.0047), as was the predominance of light colors (P = 0.038). The distribution of the other variables (gender, investigator global assessment score, active AD, and duration of activity) was not different among drawing groups. Conclusions: The drawing allows a majority of the AD children to express their self-image with and without eczema, as well as their feelings and their interactions with the environment and with their entourage. The visual tool proposed herein could be used during consultations, to (a) become aware of the need to treat AD, (b) better evaluate the impact of AD burden in childhood, and (c) adjust appropriately AD treatment.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent allergic disease in children that often causes sleep disturbance and which is associated with diminished quality of life and heightened susceptibility to depression and suicidality. In this study, we investigate the relationship between weekend catch-up sleep (WCUS) and mental health in a sample of 71,434 adolescents with AD and 221,057 without AD using multivariate logistic regression analysis. We hypothesized that adolescents with AD experience shorter total and daytime sleep due to pruritus, with compensatory longer WCUS. We found that the lifetime prevalence of AD was 24.4%, and that adolescents with AD slept less overall, with significantly shorter weekday and weekend sleep durations but longer weekend catch-up sleep (WCUS). Sleep dissatisfaction was markedly higher in the AD group. Interestingly, our results suggest that prolonged WCUS is a protective factor against suicidal ideation in adolescents with AD. The study highlights the importance of addressing sleep patterns in adolescents with AD to enhance mental health. Overall, our findings indicate a need for increased awareness and intervention strategies to ensure sufficient sleep and reduce the risk of suicidal ideation in this population.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) has a negative influence on school attendance. We aimed to identify factors associated with school absenteeism in adolescents with AD. We used data from the 3rd to 11th annual Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey completed from 2007 to 2015. Survey data were obtained from a stratified, multistage, clustered sample. Participants responded to the question "have you ever been diagnosed with AD?" Factors associated with AD-related school absenteeism (ADSA), which is defined as at least one school absence due to AD, were evaluated. Among the 141,899 subjects, the prevalence of AD increased (17.3% to 24.2%), while that of ADSA decreased (7.3% to 2.6%) from 2007 to 2015. Compared to adolescents without ADSA, those with ADSA were more likely to be male, middle school students, and have negative mental health states, including suicidality. In the multivariate logistic regression model, the association of sleep dissatisfaction and depression with ADSA was high (adjusted odds ratio, 6.12; 95% confidence intervals, 4.61-7.95; and 5.44; 5.23-5.67, respectively). The prevalence of ADSA has decreased despite an increase in the prevalence of AD in Korean adolescents; however, it is important for pediatricians to screen for factors associated with ADSA to improve school attendance in adolescents with AD.

Clin Transl Sci 2023; 16:2614-2627. [PMID: 37849431 PMCID: PMC10719461 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023] Open
Abstract
IL-4 and IL-13 signaling via IL-4Rα plays key roles in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma. Rademikibart (formerly CBP-201), a next-generation human IgG4 kappa monoclonal antibody, blocks IL-4Rα-mediated signal transduction. We performed two phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. In a single-ascending dose trial, 40 healthy adults were randomized 3:1 to rademikibart (75-600 mg s.c., 300 mg i.v.) or placebo, with 12 weeks of follow-up. In the multiple-ascending dose trial, 31 adults with moderate-to-severe AD were randomized 4:1 to once weekly rademikibart (75-300 mg s.c.) or placebo for 4 weeks, plus 7 weeks of follow-up. Most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild; none were serious. Two s.c. injection site reactions and one TEAE of conjunctivitis were reported, all were mild. Rapid and sustained improvements were observed in AD severity and in quality of life (QoL), without plateauing. At week 4, efficacy scores improved by a maximum of -74.4% (Eczema Area and Severity Index), -62.7% (body surface area), -52.8% (Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale [PNRS] severity), -54.4% (PNRS frequency), and - 69.9% (Dermatology Life Quality Index). Thymus activation regulated chemokine inflammatory biomarker concentrations decreased in both trials (-55.4% in the pooled rademikibart arms vs. +18.0% with placebo, at week 5, in patients with AD). Exposure to rademikibart increased in a greater than dose-proportional manner, suggesting nonlinear clearance. In summary, rademikibart was well-tolerated and associated with rapid and sustained improvements in eczematous lesions, pruritus, QoL, and inflammatory biomarker concentrations during 4 weeks of treatment. Efficacy responses did not plateau and were generally dose dependent. These promising findings support further development of rademikibart in patients with AD.

Abstract
Introduction Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that usually develops in early childhood. AD has a significant impact on quality of life and psychological health outcomes in both adults and children. There are increased reported rates of psychiatric comorbidities including anxiety, depression, ADHD and suicidal ideation compared to the general population. Primary caregivers of children with pediatric eczema and their families may also have derangements in psychological health and quality of life. A number of interventions exist for AD and address wellbeing outcomes as an important aspect of effective treatment. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed/Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in February 2023. Published studies up to April 2023 were included related to interventions for childhood AD that included psychological health or quality of life outcomes. These interventions were stratified according to type and evidence quality. Results Search strategy revealed a wide variety of interventions with demonstrated improvements in quality of life or wellbeing of patients with pediatric AD or their families. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions demonstrated effectiveness in improving disease outcomes. Conclusion A variety of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions may be employed to improve psychological health outcomes in children with AD.

[PMID: 37317926 DOI: 10.1111/exd.14851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition with a huge disease burden. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often diagnosed in children, and is associated with symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour. Observational studies have demonstrated associations between AD and ADHD. However, to date, there has been no formal assessment of causal relationship between the two. We aim to evaluate causal relationships between genetically increased risk of AD and ADHD using Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Two-sample bi-directional MR was conducted to elucidate potential causal relationships between genetically increased risk of AD and ADHD, using the largest and most recent genome-wide association study datasets for AD and ADHD-EArly Genetics & Lifecourse Epidemiology AD consortium (21 399 cases and 95 464 controls) and Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (20 183 cases and 35 191 controls). Genetically determined increased risk of AD is not associated with ADHD based on genetic information: odds ratio (OR) of 1.02 (95% CI -0.93 to 1.11; p = 0.705). Similarly, genetic determined increased risk of ADHD is not associated with an increased risk of AD: OR of 0.90 (95% CI -0.76 to 1.07; p = 0.236). Horizontal pleiotropy was not observed from the MR-Egger intercept test (p = 0.328) Current MR analysis showed no causal relationship between genetically increased risk of AD and ADHD in either direction in individuals of European descent. Any observed associations between AD and ADHD in previous population studies could possibly be due to confounding lifestyle factors such as psychosocial stress and sleeping habits.

Preclinical immunological characterization of rademikibart (CBP-201), a next-generation human monoclonal antibody targeting IL-4Rα, for the treatment of Th2 inflammatory diseases. Sci Rep 2023; 13:12411. [PMID: 37524768 PMCID: PMC10390583 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-39311-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Rademikibart (CBP-201) is a next-generation human monoclonal antibody targeting IL-4Rα, undergoing evaluation in Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Th2 inflammatory diseases. We report the immunological characterization of rademikibart. Rademikibart and dupilumab were associated with KD of 20.7 pM and 45.8 pM, respectively, when binding to distinct human IL-4Rα epitopes. Rademikibart did not bind to IL-4Rα from other species. Rademikibart inhibited IL-4 and IL-13-mediated STAT6 signaling (mean ± SD IC50: 7.0 ± 2.5 and 6.6 ± 1.5 ng/mL, respectively), TF-1 cell proliferation (IC50: 8.0 ± 1.6 and 9.7 ± 0.8 ng/mL, respectively) and TARC production in PBMCs (IC50: 59.2 ± 3.9 and 13.5 ± 0.2 ng/mL, respectively). Rademikibart versus dupilumab was more potent in the STAT6 assays (IL-4, p < 0.01; IL-13, p = 0.03), with non-significant trends towards greater potency in the TF-1 cell assays (IL-4, p = 0.09; IL-13, p = 0.20), and similar potency in the TARC assays. In experiments with mice expressing human IL-4Rα and IL-4, rademikibart and dupilumab demonstrated similar potency; both monoclonal antibodies eliminated IL-4 (p < 0.0001) and IL-13 (p < 0.05) mediated B cell activation in vitro and ovalbumin-induced IgE (p < 0.01) and eosinophilic lung infiltration (p < 0.0001) in vivo. In Th2-stimulated human skin explants, rademikibart rapidly downregulated IL-4, IL-13, and TARC gene expression, with greater effectiveness than dupilumab for IL-4 (p < 0.01) and a non-significant trend towards superiority for IL-13. In summary, rademikibart bound to a distinct IL-4Rα epitope with high affinity and demonstrated reductions in Th2 inflammatory biomarkers with at least similar and potentially superior potency to dupilumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Each brain hemisphere plays a specialized role in cognitive and behavioral processes, known as hemispheric lateralization. In chronic skin diseases, such as plaque psoriasis (Pso) and atopic dermatitis (AD), the degree of lateralization between the frontal hemispheres may provide insight into specific connections between skin diseases and the psyche. This study aims to analyze the hemispherical lateralization, neurovegetative responses, and psychometric characteristics of patients with Pso and AD. METHODS The study included 46 patients with Pso, 56 patients with AD, and 29 healthy control (Ctrl) subjects. The participants underwent frontal electroencephalogram (EEG) measurement, heart rate variability (HRV) assessment, and psychological tests. Statistical analyses were performed using ANOVA, with Bonferroni correction applied for multiple comparisons. RESULTS This study shows a significant right-lateralized prefrontal activity in both AD patients (p < 0.001) and Pso patients (p = 0.045) compared with Ctrl, with no significant difference between the AD and Pso groups (p = 0.633). AD patients with right-hemispheric dominant prefrontal activation exhibited increased inhibition and avoidance markers, while Pso patients showed elevated sympathetic nervous system activity. CONCLUSION Psychophysiological and psychometric data suggest a shared prevalence of right-hemispheric dominance in both AD and Pso patient groups. However, the findings indicate distinct psychodermatological mechanisms in AD and Pso.

Chua GWY, Vig PS. Overview of radiotherapy-induced chronic pain in childhood cancer survivors: A narrative review. PAEDIATRIC & NEONATAL PAIN 2023; 5:1-9. [PMID: 36911786 PMCID: PMC9997122 DOI: 10.1002/pne2.12094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Radiotherapy is an important aspect of oncological treatment in several childhood cancers. However, radiotherapy is known to have numerous side effects, including detrimental effects on growth, neurocognitive impairment, and the development of secondary malignancies. One less studied long-term side effect of pediatric radiotherapy treatment is chronic pain. While the short-term toxicities of radiotherapy resolve over a few weeks to months, the chronic pain caused by radiotherapy-induced tissue damage can significantly affect children's quality of life. As long-term childhood cancer survivors age into adulthood, they are typically followed up by a wide variety of doctors, not all of whom may be familiar with radiotherapy-induced chronic pain and its management. The aim of this review is to discuss the various common manifestations of radiotherapy-related pain in children, as well as ways to identify and manage these. Common radiotherapy-related side effects leading to chronic pain symptoms include radiation fibrosis, enteritis, dermatitis, lymphedema, neuropathic pain, and effects on bone development. The pathophysiology, evaluation and management of these are briefly summarized in this review. This is followed by an overview of radiotherapy techniques that allow greater sparing of normal tissue, minimizing future painful side effects. Finally, the assessment of pain in children is described, as well as strategies for management, and red flag symptoms that should prompt urgent specialist referral. In conclusion, a good understanding of the long-term side effects of radiotherapy treatment in children is essential for the various medical professionals that follow-up the child in the years after treatment. For young children, the evaluation of pain is in itself a challenge, and effects on growth, development, and learning are crucial. For older children, social and psychological factors become increasingly important. As radiation therapy techniques continue to advance, the spectrum and incidence of chronic pain syndromes may change over time.

Abstract
Nonpharmaceutical interventions are important for addressing the psychosocial needs of children living with atopic dermatitis (AD). The current study aimed to investigate the effects of an integrative body-mind-spirit (IBMS) intervention on the subjective experiences of affected children and explore the mechanisms underlying the effects. Using a drawing-based, qualitative approach, the current study conducted two rounds of interviews with 13 children (aged 8-12 years) diagnosed with moderate or severe AD before and after they attended the IBMS intervention. Data were analyzed by using the thematic analysis method. The IBMS intervention worked by changing participants' perceptions at the cognitive level, improving their coping strategies at the behavioral level, and constructing their social support network at the environmental level. Cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors might mediate the relationships between the IBMS intervention and participants' psychological and physical outcomes. This study highlighted the wider inclusion of child-centered qualitative research in the evaluation of the effects of psychosocial interventions designed for children.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evidence suggests an increased long-term risk of major psychiatric disorders (MPDs) in childhood and adolescent cancer survivors (CACSs). However, definitive conclusions regarding such associations and whether such associations vary for different types of cancers remain unclear. METHODS Using a nationwide data set from 2001 to 2011, we enrolled CACSs and likewise randomly selected individuals without cancer from the general population (1:10 ratio) who were matched to the CACSs with regard to demographic data. We investigated eight organ system-related cancers. The primary outcomes were the risks of seven MPD diagnoses: autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder. RESULTS CACSs (n = 5,121; mean age = 9.08 years) showed increased risks of six MPD diagnoses than controls (n = 51,210), with results as follows (in descending order): ASD (hazard ratio [HR], 10.42; associated 95% CI, 4.58 to 23.69), ADHD (HR, 6.59; 95% CI, 4.91 to 8.86), BD (HR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.26 to 6.80), MDD (HR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.26 to 2.79), OCD (HR, 3.37; 95% CI, 1.33 to 8.52), and post-traumatic stress disorder (HR, 6.10; 95% CI, 1.46 to 25.54). CACSs also showed earlier ages at diagnoses of ADHD, schizophrenia, MDD, and OCD than controls. The risks of MPD diagnoses vary according to specific cancer types/categories. Brain cancer and lymphatic/hematopoietic tissue cancer were associated with the greatest number of MPD diagnoses (ie, each was associated with six diagnoses). In addition, ASD and ADHD were associated with most organ system-related cancers (ie, each was associated with five categories). CONCLUSION We found that CACSs were at higher risks of MPD diagnoses than controls. Follow-up care should include psychosocial interventions focusing on early signs of mental health problems and early interventions in this high-risk group.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common disease that is associated with atopic and nonatopic comorbidities. There has been a growing interest in this area of AD, because presence or risk of comorbidities can in many ways impact the management of patients with AD. Thus, some treatments for AD may improve its comorbidities as well, whereas others may increase their risk. In this review article, we discuss various comorbidities of AD mostly on the basis of the results of recent multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses to update readers about this rapidly developing area of dermatology. We emphasize the important information provided by studies presenting both relative risk and absolute risk, and show that AD is associated with, among others, atopic comorbidities such as asthma, rhinitis, and food allergy, nonatopic comorbidities such as ocular, psychiatric, infectious, endocrine, autoimmune, and cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. Clinicians need to be aware of these and be cognizant about positive and negative effects of existing and new treatments for AD.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder with manifestations extending beyond visual presentation to encompass psychological burden. Though the association between psoriasis and mental health disorders in adults is widely accepted, there is inadequate research to generalize these findings to pediatric populations. In this review of the literature, we discuss the prevalence of anxiety and depression among pediatric patients with psoriasis in hopes of raising awareness of these associations and advocating for psychological screening and intervention in dermatology practice.

Abstract
Biomarkers associated with the development of comorbidities in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients have been reported, but have not yet been systematically reviewed. Seven electronic databases were searched, from database inception to September 2021. English language randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective cohort, and case-control studies that investigated the association between a biomarker and the development of comorbidities in AD patients were included. Two authors independently screened the records for eligibility, one extracted all data, and critically appraised the quality of studies and risk of bias. Fifty six articles met the inclusion criteria, evaluating 146 candidate biomarkers. The most frequently reported biomarkers were filaggrin mutations and allergen specific-IgE. Promising biomarkers include specific-IgE and/or skin prick tests predicting the development of asthma, and genetic polymorphisms predicting the occurrence of eczema herpeticum. The identified studies and biomarkers were highly heterogeneous, and associated with predominately moderate-to-high risk of bias across multiple domains. Overall, findings were inconsistent. High-quality studies assessing biomarkers associated with the development of comorbidities in people with AD are lacking. Harmonized datasets and independent validation studies are urgently needed.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a common (with up to 7% prevalence) yet underdiagnosed childhood disorder whose underlying biological profile and comorbidities are not fully understood, especially at the population level. OBJECTIVE To identify clinically relevant conditions that co-occur with DLD at the population level. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This case-control study used an electronic health record (EHR)-based population-level approach to compare the prevalence of comorbid health phenotypes between DLD cases and matched controls. These cases were identified using the Automated Phenotyping Tool for Identifying Developmental Language Disorder algorithm of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center EHR, and a phenome enrichment analysis was used to identify comorbidities. An independent sample was selected from the Geisinger Health System EHR to test the replication of the phenome enrichment using the same phenotyping and analysis pipeline. Data from the Vanderbilt EHR were accessed between March 2019 and October 2020, while data from the Geisinger EHR were accessed between January and March 2022. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Common and rare comorbidities of DLD at the population level were identified using EHRs and a phecode-based enrichment analysis. RESULTS Comorbidity analysis was conducted for 5273 DLD cases (mean [SD] age, 16.8 [7.2] years; 3748 males [71.1%]) and 26 353 matched controls (mean [SD] age, 14.6 [5.5] years; 18 729 males [71.1%]). Relevant phenotypes associated with DLD were found, including learning disorder, delayed milestones, disorders of the acoustic nerve, conduct disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, lack of coordination, and other motor deficits. Several other health phenotypes not previously associated with DLD were identified, such as dermatitis, conjunctivitis, and weight and nutrition, representing a new window into the clinical complexity of DLD. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study found both rare and common comorbidities of DLD. Comorbidity profiles may be leveraged to identify risk of additional health challenges, beyond language impairment, among children with DLD.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a long-lasting inflammatory dermatological condition characterized by itchy, eczematous, sparsely tiny blisters that hold a clear watery substance. Additionally, the diseased skin can suppurate, occasionally with weeping with thickening of the affected skin. This is considered one of the top skin disorders involving both children and adult populations globally. The principal therapeutic intervention for AD is long-standing topical glucocorticoids, which have been used for several decades. Corticosteroid therapy brings several adverse drug effects (ADRs), including irreversible skin atrophy. Tacrolimus belongs to the class of calcineurin inhibitors, which is a type of immunomodulator possessing promising efficacy in treating AD. Topical tacrolimus is an effective and safe non-corticosteroid substitute treatment for AD. We reviewed the available literature to compare and institute the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of tacrolimus when equated to corticosteroid therapy in managing AD.

Abstract
We mapped the evidence on the type and strength of associations between a broad range of mental and physical conditions in children and adolescents, by carrying out an umbrella review, i.e., a quantitative synthesis of previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We also assessed to which extent the links between mental and physical conditions vary across disorders or, by contrast, are transdiagnostic. Based on a pre-established protocol, we retained 45 systematic reviews/meta-analyses, encompassing around 12.5 million of participants. In analyses limited to the most rigorous estimates, we found evidence for the following associations: ADHD-asthma, ADHD-obesity, and depression-asthma. A transdiagnostic association was confirmed between asthma and anxiety/ASD/depression/bipolar disorder, between obesity and ADHD/ASD/depression, and between dermatitis and ASD/ADHD. We conclude that obesity and allergic conditions are likely to be associated with mental disorders in children and adolescents. Our results can help clinicians explore potential links between mental and physical conditions in children/adolescent and provide a road map for future studies aimed at shading light on the underlying factors.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, heterogenous, inflammatory skin disorder associated with a high skin-related health burden, typically starting in childhood and often persisting into adulthood. AD is characterized by a wide range of clinical phenotypes, reflecting multiple underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and interactions between genetics, immune system dysregulation, and environmental factors. In this review, we describe the diverse cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in AD, including the critical role of T cell-driven inflammation, primarily via T helper (Th) 2- and Th17-derived cytokines, many of which are mediated by the Janus kinase (JAK) signaling pathway. These local inflammatory processes interact with sensory neuronal pathways, contributing to the clinical manifestations of AD, including itch, pain, and sleep disturbance. The recent elucidation of the molecular pathways involved in AD has allowed treatment strategies to evolve from broad-acting systemic immunosuppressive therapies to more targeted agents, including JAK inhibitors and cytokine-specific biologic agents. Evidence from the clinical development of these targeted therapies has reinforced and expanded our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying AD and holds promise for individualized treatment strategies tailored to specific AD subtypes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common childhood inflammatory skin problem affecting 15%-30% of children. Although AD adversely impacts the psychosocial well-being of children and their parent caregivers, parents' psychosocial well-being is seldom mentioned in most non-pharmacological education programmes. A family-based psychosocial intervention, Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit (I-BMS) intervention, is examined. This study compares the efficacy of two versions of the I-BMS intervention (one delivered to both parents and children; one delivered to parents only) with a health education active control (delivered to parents only) in promoting adaptive emotional regulation and quality of life of children with AD and their parent caregivers. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a three-arm, with equal randomisation, parallel randomised controlled trial. 192 parent-child dyads will be recruited through hospitals and non-governmental organisations in Hong Kong. Each dyad will complete an individual pre-group screening interview. Eligible dyads will be randomised in a ratio of 1:1:1 into one of the three arms. Each arm consists of six weekly sessions. A computer-generated list of random numbers will be used to perform randomisation. The primary outcomes are quality of life and emotional regulation. Assessments are administered at baseline, post-intervention and 6-week follow-up. Mixed factorial Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVAs) based on intention-to-treat principle will be conducted to examine the efficacy of the two I-BMS interventions. Structural equation modelling will be conducted to examine the parent-child interdependent effects of intervention. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval was obtained from the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of Hong Kong (EA2001001) and the Institutional Review Board of the Hospital Authority of Hong Kong (UW 21-400, KC/KE-20-0360/FR-2, NTEC-2021-0408). Consent will be sought from participating parents and children. Parental consent for child participants will also be obtained. Findings will be presented in peer-reviewed journals and at conferences in medical dermatology, paediatrics and social work. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT04617977).

Abstract
Globally, anxiety and depression are the most common psychiatric disorders that add large burdens to individuals and society; however, the mechanisms underlying these disorders are unclear. Several studies have found that eczema is a shared risk factor for both these conditions. We identified and evaluated eligible observational studies from EMBASE and PubMed. In total, 20 relevant cohort and case-control studies comprising 141,910 patients with eczema and 4,736,222 control participants fulfilled our established criteria. Information extracted included study design, location, sample size, sex distribution of cases and controls or reference cohorts, measurements of outcomes, odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI), and adjusted factors for exposure associated with outcome risk. The meta-analysis was performed by calculating the pooled OR with 95% CI, and heterogeneity was assessed using Cochrane Q and I2 statistics. The pooled effect showed a positive association (n = 4,896,099, OR = 1.63, 95% CI [1.42-1.88], p<0.001) between eczema and depression or anxiety, with positive associations also observed in the depression (n = 4,878,746, OR = 1.64, 95% CI [1.39-1.94], p<0.001) and anxiety (n = 4,607,597, OR = 1.68, 95% CI [1.27-2.21], p<0.001) groups. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed that these findings were stable and reliable. This study suggests that eczema is associated with an increased risk of developing depression and anxiety, which may assist clinicians in the prevention or treatment of these disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stigma has been recently identified as a crucial factor associated with the psychosocial burden of those who have chronic skin diseases. The self-stigma experiences of children living with atopic dermatitis (AD) have yet to be fully investigated, and questions of how these children respond to public stigma and how AD symptoms further affect their self-stigma experiences remain unresolved. The current qualitative study aimed to (1) describe the main manifestations of self-stigma in children living with AD; (2) investigate factors that might influence their self-stigma experiences; and (3) explore the potential mechanisms underlying the impacts of AD on their psychosocial well-being from the self-stigma perspective. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of the qualitative literal transcription data which were collected earlier by using the participatory, drawing-based qualitative interviews with 17 children aged 8-12 who were diagnosed with severe or moderate AD. RESULTS The qualitative findings indicated that the visible and invisible symptoms of AD and its management exerted unique influences on self-stigma in children living with AD, which manifested in cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects and ultimately affected their psychosocial well-being. CONCLUSIONS Findings of this study allowed us to advocate for eliminating public stigma of people with skin diseases and propose recommendations for helping children living with AD relieve their self-stigma.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Chronic conditions are common in childhood. We investigated the associations of childhood chronic conditions reported by parents with subsequent self-reported internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescence. A sample of 6290 children (3142 boys and 3148 girls) with data on chronic condition reported by parents both at 7 and at 16 years of age was obtained from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (NFBC 1986), which is a longitudinal 1-year birth cohort (n = 9432) from an unselected, regionally defined population. Internalizing and externalizing problems were measured at 8 years of age with Rutter Children's Behavioral Questionnaire by teachers and at 16 years of age with Youth Self-Report by adolescents. When studying the effects of history of chronic conditions on these problems at 16 years of age, childhood internalizing and externalizing problems and social relations were adjusted. A history of chronic condition predicted subsequent somatic complaints among all adolescents. Early-onset chronic conditions were related to subsequent externalizing (OR 1.35; 1.02-1.79) and attention problems (OR 1.33; 1.01-1.75) and later onset of chronic conditions with internalizing (OR 1.49; 1.22-1.82) and thought problems (OR 1.50; 1.18-1.92). The effect was specific for sex and the type of chronic condition. CONCLUSION Childhood chronic conditions predicted internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescence. To prevent poor mental health trajectories, children with chronic conditions during their growth to adolescence need early support and long-term monitoring. WHAT IS KNOWN • Childhood adversities increase the risk of mental disorders. • Internalizing and externalizing problems have been suggested for measuring childhood and adolescent psychopathologies. WHAT IS NEW • Having a chronic condition (CC) before the age of 7 or later but before the age of 16 had different outcomes in adolescence. The early onset predicted externalizing problems, whereas the late onset predicted internalizing problems and thought problems in adolescence. The risk of somatic complaints was increased regardless of CC onset time. These findings can reflect more restricted ability to mental processing in the younger children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between allergic diseases (AD) and mental disorders (MD) in women has not been fully systematically evaluated. We aimed at validating this correlation. METHODS The relevant cohort and case-control studies from the establishment of the database to February 18, 2022 in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library were searched by computer. The researchers conducted the quality evaluation of the included articles by reviewing and discussing with reference to relevant standards, and conducted the analysis of the correlation between female patients with AD and MD by using Review Manager 5.4. RESULTS Six observational studies from 2631 studies (n = 1160858 women) were assessed as medium and high-quality studies. The meta-analysis demonstrated that AD was correlated with MD in female patients (OR = 1.21, 95%CI: 1.14-1.29), including asthma (OR = 1.16, 95%CI: 1.11-1.22), allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.31, 95%CI: 1.06-1.63), and atopic dermatitis in women (OR = 1.37, 95%CI: 1.24-1.50) were associated with MD. At the same time, subgroup analysis was performed according to region, study design, criteria of AD and MD, and the results demonstrated that both AD and MD were correlated in these different conditions. CONCLUSION Allergic diseases in female patients do have an association with mental disorders. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION [https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/], identifier [CRD42022311146].

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atopic dermatitis is a common dermatologic condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and a standardized approach to treatment was published by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) in 2013-14. Since 2014, new FDA-approved treatment options such as dupilumab and crisaborole have changed the landscape of AD management, and future therapies such as JAK inhibitors and anti-interleukin 13 and 31 antibodies appear effective, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive review to give clinicians an updated toolbox to aid in pharmacologic management. AREAS COVERED In this review, the authors explore the updated efficacy and safety data on established therapeutic options for AD including topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, cyclosporine, azathioprine, methotrexate, and mycophenolate mofetil. In addition, the authors also explore trial data and studies on dupilumab, crisaborole, omalizumab, tofacitinib, ruxolinitib, abrocitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, delgocitinib, nemoliuzumab, and tralokinumab. EXPERT OPINION The AAD guidelines must be updated in the future to include several new treatment modalities that have revolutionized the pharmacologic management of patients with AD, including dupilumab and crisaborole. The future of AD treatment is also extremely bright, as JAK inhibitors and Il-13/31 antibodies have shown convincing results in the improvement of AD patients' lives in various trials and studies that have been examined in this paper.

Non-mental diseases associated with ADHD across the lifespan: Fidgety Philipp and Pippi Longstocking at risk of multimorbidity? Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2021; 132:1157-1180. [PMID: 34757108 DOI: 10.1016/j.neubiorev.2021.10.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2020] [Revised: 10/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
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
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Little is known about the predictors and trends of psychological comorbidities in childhood atopic dermatitis (AD), or whether they occur in an age-dependent pattern. We hypothesized racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities lead to increased psychological problems among children with AD and psychological comorbidities occur in an age-dependent manner. METHODS We analyzed cross-sectional data on 228 898 children aged 2-17 years from the 1997-2018 National Health Interview Survey. RESULTS Children with AD had higher proportions of depression/sadness (17.2% vs 12.6%; odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.44 [1.37-1.51]), attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder (ADD/ADHD) (10.0% vs 7.1%; 1.46 [1.38-1.55]), emotional/behavioral difficulties (29.9% vs 23.5%; 1.77 [1.69-1.84]), feelings of frequent worry (38.8% vs 23.5%; 1.66 [1.58-1.74]), and autism (1.9% vs 0.9%; 2.00 [1.75-2.29]). Among children with AD, psychologic comorbidity was associated with atopic comorbidities and multimorbidity and white race, households with lower income and education, and no insurance coverage. In children with or without AD, the prevalence of autism peaked during pre-adolescence; ADD/ADHD and emotional/behavioral difficulties peaked in adolescence; and depression/sadness and feelings of frequent worry increased steadily throughout childhood without plateau. CONCLUSION Atopic dermatitis was associated with multiple psychologic disorders, particularly among those with atopic comorbidities, white race, and low household income. Psychologic comorbidities increased in an age-dependent pattern, though similar to children without AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing evidence suggests that atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with an increased risk of depressive disorders and anxiety. However, existing studies were observational and may have uncovered correlations but could not easily disentangle noncausal or reverse-causal associations because these associations could be confounded and may not reflect true causal relationships. OBJECTIVES To examine, in a two-sample Mendelian randomization study, the potential effect of AD on the risk of depressive disorders and anxiety. METHODS Genetic instruments from the largest available genome-wide association study (GWAS) for AD (10 788 cases and 30 047 controls) were used to investigate the relationship to broad depression (170 756 cases and 329 443 controls), major depressive disorder (MDD; 30 603 cases and 143 916 controls) and anxiety (5580 cases and 11 730 controls). A set of complementary approaches were carried out to assess horizontal pleiotropy and related potential caveats occurring in MR studies. RESULTS We observed no causal impact of AD on the risk of depressive disorders and anxiety, with close-to-zero effect estimates. The inverse weighted method revealed no associations of AD on broad depression [odds ratio (OR) 1·014; P = 0·431], probable MDD (OR 1·002; P = 0·568), International Classification of Diseases, Ninth/Tenth Revision-based MDD (OR 1·001; P = 0·466) or anxiety (OR 1·097; P = 0·180). CONCLUSIONS This MR study does not support a causal effect of AD on depression and anxiety.

Abstract
Objectives In the United Kingdom, atopic dermatitis (AD) affects 20% of children and topical corticosteroids (TCS) are a mainstay of AD treatment regimes. Many TCS have similar packaging despite significant differences in potency frequently leading to confusion, and along with misinformation and steroid phobia, potentially reducing treatment adherence. We aimed to evaluate parents' knowledge/concerns regarding TCS and explore benefits of/preference for a TCS‐labelling system. Method Hundred parents of children with AD attending paediatric dermatology and/or allergy appointments completed mixed‐methodology Survey 1 (knowledge‐quiz, TCS‐labelling options, feedback on what supports AD‐care). Thirty parents, adolescents, and healthcare professionals completed Survey 2. Qualitative/quantitative data was thematically/statistically analysed (SPSS v25) respectively. Results Parents preferred the traffic light system (green = mild, yellow = moderate, red = potent; n = 71/100) and reported significantly increased willingness and comfort in using TCS if a labelling system was used p ≤ 0.001). Knowledge regarding TCS potency was lacking: 62% (n = 46/74) of mild TCS‐users overestimated potency; 51% (n = 67/131) of potent TCS‐users underestimated potency. Common concerns were TCS‐related skin thinning, long‐term side effects and themes for improved AD‐care/support included: better information, written plans, access to advice, involvement of certain staff. Parents wanted accessible information in various formats: verbally, electronic resources, leaflets, and education sessions. Conclusions Parents of children with AD confirmed significant concerns and demonstrated poor knowledge regarding TCS use. Our findings suggest that a simple labelling system may improve TCS adherence. Future work to test refined label prototypes and evaluating their impact on adherence and correct use is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While adult atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with anxiety and depression, and paediatric AD is linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the relationship between AD in childhood and other psychiatric disorders is largely unknown. OBJECTIVES To determine the relationship between AD and diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders in children. METHODS All Danish children born between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2012 with a hospital diagnosis of AD (n = 14 283) were matched 1 : 10 with children without a hospital diagnosis of AD. Endpoints were psychotropic medication use, hospital diagnoses of depression, anxiety, ADHD, or self-harming behaviour, accidental/suicidal death, and consultation with a psychiatrist or psychologist. RESULTS Significant associations were observed between hospital-diagnosed AD and antidepressant [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1·19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·04-1·36], anxiolytic (aHR 1·72, 95% CI 1·57-1·90), and centrally acting sympathomimetic (aHR 1·29, 95% CI 1·18-1·42) medication use. Consultation with a psychiatrist (aHR 1·33, 95% CI 1·16-1·52) or psychologist (aHR 1·25, 95% CI 1·11-1·41) was also associated with AD. No association with a hospital diagnosis of depression (aHR 0·58, 95% CI 0·21-1·56), anxiety (aHR 1·47, 95% CI 0·98-2·22) or self-harming behaviour (aHR 0·88, 95% CI 0·27-2·88) was observed, but a diagnosis of ADHD (aHR 1·91, 95% CI 1·56-2·32) was significantly associated with AD. The absolute risks were generally low. CONCLUSIONS The increased risk of treatment, but not of a hospital diagnosis of psychiatric disorders in children with hospital-diagnosed AD, suggests that psychiatric issues in children with AD could be of a transient, reversible or mild-moderate nature.

Abstract
We identified the first-generation antihistamine hydroxyzine as the earliest and most frequently prescribed drug affecting the central nervous system in children under the age of 5 years in the province of British Columbia, Canada (1. 1% prevalence). Whereas, the antagonism of H1-receptors exerts anti-pruritic effects in atopic dermatitis and diaper rash, animal studies suggest an adverse association between reduced neurotransmission of histamine and psychomotor behavior. In order to investigate hydroxyzine safety, we characterized the longitudinal patterns of hydroxyzine use in children under the age of 5 years and determined mental- and psychomotor disorders up to the age of 10 years. We found significantly higher rates of ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes for disorders such as tics (307), anxiety (300) and disturbance of conduct (312) in frequent users of hydroxyzine. Specifically, repeat prescriptions of hydroxyzine compared to a single prescription show an increase in tic disorder, anxiety and disturbance of conduct by odds ratios of: 1.55 (95%CI: 1.23-1.96); 1.34 (95%CI: 1.05-1.70); and 1.34 (95%CI: 1.08-1.66) respectively in children up to the age of 10 years. Furthermore, a non-significant increased trend was found for ADHD (314) and disturbance of emotions (313). This is the first study reporting an association between long-term neurodevelopmental adverse effects and early use of hydroxyzine. Controlled studies are required in order to prove a causal relationship and to confirm the safety of hydroxyzine in the pediatric population. For the time being, we suggest the shortest possible duration for hydroxyzine use in preschool-age children.

ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2021; 9:40. [PMID: 33553333 PMCID: PMC7859773 DOI: 10.21037/atm-20-4708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between atopic dermatitis (AD) and abnormal bone metabolism remains unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine whether patients with AD were associated with increased risks of low bone mineral density (BMD), osteopenia, osteoporosis, and related fractures. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library through December 2019 to identify studies that investigated the association between AD and abnormal bone metabolism (including BMD, osteopenia, osteoporosis, and related fractures). The predefined primary outcome was related fractures; secondary outcomes included osteoporosis, osteopenia, and BMD. We calculated the summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a random-effects model. RESULTS Ten studies were included in this systematic review. In children and adolescents, four studies investigated the association between AD and BMD; three studies indicated that children and adolescents with AD were associated with an increased risk of low BMD; one study found similar BMD between AD and control groups. In adults, three studies assessed the risk of fracture and were included in the meta-analysis, comprising 562,405 AD patients among 3,171,268 participants. Adults with AD were associated with an increased risk of fracture (OR 1.13; 95% CI, 1.05-1.22; P=0.001). Three studies investigated the association between AD and osteoporosis, which suggested that patients with AD were associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis (OR 1.95; 95% CI, 1.18-3.23; P=0.009). Further, patients with AD were associated with increased risks of osteopenia (OR 1.90; 95% CI, 1.51-2.38; P<0.001) and low BMD at the femur and spine. CONCLUSIONS Patients with AD were associated with increased risks of low BMD, osteopenia, osteoporosis, and related fractures. Both clinical studies and basic research are needed to clarify the mechanisms of association between AD and abnormal bone metabolism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence indicates that people with the common inflammatory skin diseases atopic eczema or psoriasis are at increased risk of mental illness. However, the reasons for the relationship between skin disease and common mental disorders (ie, depression and anxiety) or severe mental illnesses (ie, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other psychoses) are unclear. Therefore, we aim to synthesise the available evidence regarding the risk factors for mental illness in adults with atopic eczema or psoriasis. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will conduct a systematic review of randomised controlled trials, cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies. We will search the following databases from inception to March 2020: Medline, Embase, Global Health, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Base, PsycInfo, the Global Resource of Eczema Trials, and the grey literature databases Open Grey, PsycExtra and the New York Academy of Medicine Grey Literature Report. We will also search the bibliographies of eligible studies and relevant systematic reviews to identify additional relevant studies. Citation searching of large summary papers will be used to further identify relevant publications. Two reviewers will initially review study titles and abstracts for eligibility, followed by full text screening. We will extract data using a standardised data extraction form. We will assess the risk of bias of included studies using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. We will synthesise data narratively, and if studies are sufficiently homogenous, we will consider a meta-analysis. We will assess the quality of the evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval is not required for a systematic review. Results of the review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and disseminated through conferences. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020163941.

Early life stress from allergic dermatitis causes depressive-like behaviors in adolescent male mice through neuroinflammatory priming. Brain Behav Immun 2020; 90:319-331. [PMID: 32950622 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2020.09.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 09/10/2020] [Accepted: 09/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Allergic dermatitis (AD), associated with pruritus and itchiness, is one of the major stressful conditions early in life. AD also influences the incidence of neuropsychiatric disorders and developmental disorders through neuro-immune interactions. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report that assesses the effects of early childhood dermatitis on psychiatric disorders later in life using an animal model. Here, we developed an oxazolone (Ox)-induced AD model in the early life of male C57BL/6J mice whose ears were challenged by Ox repeatedly from postnatal days (PD) 2 to PD30. On PD30, the Ox-treated ears were remarkably thickened and showed epidermal hyperplasia coupled with increased expression of T helper 2 cytokines, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-13 in the ear tissue. Additionally, serum immunoglobulin E levels and serum corticosterone levels were higher in the Ox-treated mice than those in the control mice. Although Ox-treated PD40 mice showed neither behavioral abnormalities nor increases in pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in the brain, this study revealed that they experienced downregulation of CD200R1 expression in the amygdala under basal conditions and that additional lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration induced enhanced neuroinflammatory reaction as the priming effect was accompanied by an increase of Iba-1-positive microglia in the amygdala and hippocampus. Furthermore, the Ox-treated PD40 mice showed depressive-like behaviors 24 h after LPS administration, whereas the control mice did not. Interestingly, the expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase and kynurenine 3-monooxygenase, key rate-limiting enzymes of the kynurenine metabolism pathway, was upregulated in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and amygdala of the Ox-treated mice 4 h after LPS administration. Based on these results, we suggest that early life stress from AD aggravates susceptibility to systemic inflammation in the adolescent brain, leading to depressive behaviors with abnormal kynurenine metabolism.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin disorder characterised by recurrent eczematous lesions and intense itch. The disorder affects people of all ages and ethnicities, has a substantial psychosocial impact on patients and relatives, and is the leading cause of the global burden from skin disease. Atopic dermatitis is associated with increased risk of multiple comorbidities, including food allergy, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and mental health disorders. The pathophysiology is complex and involves a strong genetic predisposition, epidermal dysfunction, and T-cell driven inflammation. Although type-2 mechanisms are dominant, there is increasing evidence that the disorder involves multiple immune pathways. Currently, there is no cure, but increasing numbers of innovative and targeted therapies hold promise for achieving disease control, including in patients with recalcitrant disease. We summarise and discuss advances in our understanding of the disease and their implications for prevention, management, and future research.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic skin disease with a negative influence on adolescent mental health state. We aimed to identify the influencing factors for mental health in adolescents with AD. We used data from the 13th Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBS) conducted in 2017. KYRBS data were obtained from a stratified, multistage, clustered sample. Participants responded to the question "have you ever been diagnosed with AD by a doctor?" and several yes/no questions about stress, depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. Among 62 276 participants, the proportion of adolescents with AD was 25.0%. Compared with adolescents without AD, those with AD were significantly more likely to experience stress, depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation (P < 0.001) at rates of 59.1%, 27.8% and 13.9%, respectively. In the multivariate logistic regression model, subjective unhappiness was most strongly associated with stress in subjects with AD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 7.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.87-9.18), while depression (aOR, 9.83; 95% CI, 7.85-11.32) and suicidal ideation (aOR, 5.70; 95% CI, 5.01-6.48) were reciprocally the most important risk factors in adolescents with AD. AD in adolescents is associated with a higher prevalence of stress, depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. It is important for pediatricians to watch for these risks and to screen for suicidality in adolescents with AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to gather information on the current assessment and management of patients with moderate-to-severe AD in routine daily practice. METHODS A cross-sectional two-round Delphi survey with the participation of dermatologists and allergologists throughout Spain was conducted. They completed a 46-item questionnaire, and consensus was defined when responses of ≥80% of participants coincided in the categories of a 5-point Likert scale for that item. RESULTS A total of 105 specialists (aged 40-59 years) completed the two rounds. Participants agreed regarding the consideration of AD as a multifaceted disease and the differences in clinical presentation of AD according to the patient's age. It is recommendable to perform a skin biopsy to exclude early stage T-cell cutaneous lymphoma, psoriasis, or dermatitis herpetiformis, among others (99.1%). Also, consensus was reached regarding the use of the SCORAD index to quantify the severity of the disease (86.7%), the use of wet wraps to increase the effect of topical corticosteroids (90.4%), the usefulness of proactive treatment during follow-up (85.6%) and tacrolimus ointment (91.2%) to reduce new flares, and the fact that crisaborole is not the treatment of choice for severe AD (92.4%). AD was not considered a contraindication for immunotherapy in patients with allergic respiratory diseases (92.4%). In patients with severe AD, the use of immune response modifier drugs (97.6%) or phototherapy (92.8%) does not sufficiently cover their treatment needs. Consensus was also obtained regarding the role of the new biologic drugs (93.6%) targeting cytokines involved in the Th2 inflammatory pathway (92.0%) and the potential role of dupilumab as first-line treatment (90.4%) in moderate-to-severe AD patients. CONCLUSION This study contributes a reference framework to the care of AD patients. There is no diagnostic test or biomarkers to direct treatment or to assess the severity of the disease, and many therapeutic challenges remain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is known to negatively influence the mental health of patients. However, only a few studies have explored the influencing factors for psychiatric problems among adolescents with AD. OBJECTIVE To assess the association of AD and suicidal behaviors among adolescents by analyzing data from the 3rd through the 13th annual Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Surveys (completed from 2007 to 2017). METHODS Survey data were obtained from a stratified, multistage, clustered sample. Students self-reported AD if they had received a diagnosis of AD by a physician. Influencing factors for suicidal behaviors were tested by logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 788,411 adolescents completed the survey. The proportion of participants with AD was 22.2%. Those reporting suicide ideation and suicide attempts were 19.0%, and 4.5%, respectively. Compared with adolescents without AD, those with AD were more likely to be female, to skip breakfast less frequently, to exercise less frequently, to drink less alcohol, and to not be current smokers and were statistically significantly more likely to have negative mental health states. In the multivariable model, perceived unhappiness and suicidal ideation were the strongest influencing factors for suicidal ideation (adjusted odds ratio, 4.90; 95% CI, 4.31-5.57) and for suicidal attempts (adjusted odds ratio, 48.01; 95% CI, 42.69-53.09), respectively. CONCLUSION Adolescents with AD had a meaningful prevalence of suicidal behaviors. Although further research is needed to clarify this association, adolescents with AD with influencing factors for negative mental health state may need intervention from practitioners who use a multidisciplinary team approach to prevent suicide.
