Cohort study finds no link between atopic dermatitis severity and cardiovascular risk in youth, suggesting limited need for screening.
In a population-based UK cohort of children and adolescents followed up into early adulthood, AD, including more active and severe disease over time, was not associated with increases in markers of cardiovascular risk. This finding suggests that systematic screening of all children with AD is unlikely to improve identification of early cardiovascular risk.
