Do temperature changes cause eczema flares? An English cohort study
It is unclear if ambient temperature changes affect eczema. It is also unclear if people with worse disease are more susceptible to weather-related flares, or specific types of emollient offer protection. Substantiating these links may help inform action plans and patients self-management. To invest...

To investigate the effect of short-term temperature variations on eczema symptoms in children.
Data from a UK cohort of 519 children (6 months-12 years) with at least mild eczema, participating in a randomised trial comparing four types of emollients on eczema symptoms, were combined with observed temperature data from the Hadley Centre's Integrated Surface Database.Hot & cold weeks were defined by average regional temperature >75th or |
