Comorbidity of eczema, rhinitis, and asthma in IgE-sensitised and non-IgE-sensitised children in MeDALL: a population-based cohort study

Abstract: Coexistence of eczema, rhinitis, and asthma in the same child is more common than expected by chance alone-both in the presence and absence of IgE sensitisation-suggesting that these diseases share causal mechanisms. Although IgE sensitisation is independently associated with excess comorbidity of eczema, rhinitis, and asthma, its presence accounted only for 38% of comorbidity, suggesting that IgE sensitisation can no longer be considered the dominant causal mechanism of comorbidity for these diseases.

“…The present work is a major extension of previous collaborative work regarding air pollution and asthma within the same cohorts 9 : longitudinal analyses were performed instead of cross-sectional analyses, making full use of the repeated measurements; associations were studied with incidence in addition to prevalence; the follow-up was extended to age [14][15][16] years; and pooled analyses in addition to cohort-specific analyses with subsequent metaanalyses were performed, resulting in particular in more precise estimates of age-specific effects. Our finding of an increase in asthma incidence with increasing levels of air pollution confirms earlier findings from other cohorts.…”
