Clin Exp Dermatol. 2024 Mar 21;49(4):390-392. doi: 10.1093/ced/llad397.

Abstract

Our study investigated the association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and inflammatory bowel disease using the All of Us Research Program, a US National Institutes of Health database providing health information on over 300 000 Americans. This cross-sectional study demonstrated that individuals with AD have an approximately twofold increase in odds of having inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, compared with individuals without AD.
