Wan J, et al. - Via a cross-sectional study of baseline data from children aged 2 to 17 years and had a physician-confirmed atopic dermatitis (AD) diagnosis, recruited into the US-based Pediatric Eczema Elective Registry (PEER) between November 25, 2004, and July 18, 2017, experts investigated AD-related school absences by race/ethnicity. Children or their caregivers finished a questionnaire gathering information about demographic features, medical conditions, AD history and treatment, and number of school days missed owing to AD in the preceding 6-month period. The primary outcome was listing of six or more school days missed owing to AD in the previous 6 months, which approximates the US Department of Education’s definition of chronic school absenteeism. Adjusting for sociodemographic factors, AD control, comorbid atopic disorders, and healthcare utilization, the relationship between race/ethnicity and at least 6 school absences was evaluated. Caregivers for individuals in PEER gave informed consent and the present analysis was given exempt status by the University of Pennsylvania Institutional Review Board owing to the use of deidentified data.
