Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is triggered by many environmental factors. We sought to determine the relationship between birth weight, infectious diseases, and AD. This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the CGR Database for the period 2004 through 2015 in Taiwan. All diseases were classified using the International Classification of Disease codes. Logistic regression adjusted for birth weights and comorbidities were analyzed by SAS (version 9.4). P < .05 were considered statistically significant. In children with AD, bronchiolitis was significantly associated with the development of AD, whether the patients were aged < 2 years (odds ratio [OR] = 1.497; P = .014) or ≥ 2 years (OR = 1.882; P = .022). There was also no difference in the association between AD and different birth weights. We conclude that AD is associated with a previous history of bronchiolitis in children, regardless of age (less than or greater than 2 years).
