Critical commentary questions elevated asthma rates in preterm infants with eczema, suggesting findings reflect non-allergic lung damage rather than a distinct allergic pathway.
Ruge et al. found asthma to be more common in preterm-born children with atopic dermatitis. I suggest that this result should be viewed with caution, as it is based on a small subgroup and may reflect both selection within the atopic dermatitis group and prematurity-related airway disease rather than allergic asthma alone.
