Figure 1. Relative to controls, children with AD had significantly
higher levels of total cholesterol (A; 173.0 [158.0, 191.0]vs. 194.0 [188.0, 205.5] mg/dL, P < 0.001) and
total triglycerides (B; 76.0 [55.0, 107.0) vs. 97.0 [65.0,
129.5] mg/dL, P = 0.006), but these two groups had no statistically
significant differences in the levels of LDL-C (C; 96.0 [83.0, 112.0)vs. 90.0 [79.5, 105.5] mg/dL, P = 0.172) and HDL-C (D; 62.0
[54.0, 75.0] vs. 61.0 [52.0, 69.5] mg/dL, P = 0.172). Red
dashed lines indicate borders between normal and abnormal values.
Figure 2. Kaplan-Meier curves for the probability of disease-free
survival (no atopic dermatitis) in children with normal total
cholesterol (blue line) and high total cholesterol (red line). Criteria
used to define atopic dermatitis: at least 5 diagnostic codes based on
ICD-10, and total cholesterol >170 mg/dL. Consensus hazard
ratio: 2.47; 95% CI: 1.23, 5.06, P = 0.012. Abbreviations: CI,
Confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; Ref, Reference.
