Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex disease with multiple causes and complex mechanistic pathways according to age of onset, severity of the illness, ethnic modifiers, response to therapy and triggers. A group of difficult-to-manage patients characterized by early-onset AD and severe lifelong disease associated with allergic asthma and/or food allergy (FA) has been identified. In this study, we focus on these severe phenotypes, analysing their links with other atopic comorbidities, and taking into account the results from recent cohort studies and meta-analyses. The main hypothesis that is currently proposed to explain the onset of allergic diseases is an epithelial barrier defect. Thus, the atopic march could correspond to an epithelial dysfunction, self-sustained by a secondary allergenic sensitization, explaining the transition from AD to allergic asthma. Furthermore, AD severity seems to be a risk factor for associated FA. Results from population-based, birth and patient cohorts show that early-onset and severe AD, male gender, parental history of asthma, and early and multiple sensitizations are risk factors leading to the atopic march and the development of asthma. The importance of environmental factors should be recognized in these high-risk children and prevention programs adapted accordingly. Effective targeted therapies to restore both barrier function and to control inflammation are necessary; early emollient therapy is an important approach to prevent AD in high-risk children. Clinicians should also keep in mind the specific risk of atopic comorbidities in case of filaggrin loss-of-function mutations and the rare phenotypes of orphan syndromes due to heritable mutations in skin barrier components.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
