Spectrum of susceptibility to air quality and weather in individual children with atopic dermatitis

Background Exposure to air pollution aggravates symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children in the population studies. Variability in individual patient's response from individual susceptibility is needed to be explored. Objective This study aimed to investigate spectrum of individual variability in the associations between AD symptoms and air quality. Methods We enrolled 89 children aged 0‐6 years with AD (22 890 person‐days). Daily manifestation of symptoms was recorded for an average of 257 days (range 100‐499). Both an individual analysis using logistic regression models and an overall analysis using a generalized estimating equation were performed. Results The odds ratios of an individual ranged 0.24‐8.11 for particulate matter
