Schmidt SAJ, Mailhac A, Darvalics B, et al. - Using linked routine healthcare data from January 1, 1977, to June 30, 2017 (end of registry follow-up), in Denmark, researchers conducted this population-based cohort study to ascertain if a childhood diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (AD) is correlated with lower educational attainment. All children born in Denmark on June 30, 1987, or earlier, with an inpatient or outpatient hospital clinic diagnosis of AD recorded before their 13th birthday (baseline), as well as a comparison cohort of children from the general population matched by birth year and gender, were included in the study. The study included 61,153 children, with 5,927 from the AD cohort (3,341 male [56.4%]) and 55,226 from the general population (31,182 male [56.5%]). Children with AD had a higher risk of not completing lower secondary and upper secondary education, but not higher education, when compared with matched children from the general population. The clinical significance of this population-based cohort study's finding that hospital-diagnosed AD was associated with lower educational attainment was uncertain due to small absolute differences and possible confounding by familial factors.
