“…To our knowledge, this is the first large population-based study describing a significant association between OCD and AD. There are only two previous studies analyzing the association between AD and OCD, but the authors studied symptoms of OCD in mothers of children with AD and found that AD in the child did not influence their mothers in terms of OCD [ 22 , 23 ]. However, our study only included 42 patients diagnosed with OCD which makes studies on additional and preferably larger populations essential to further investigate the association.…”

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a global health problem. There are no data on the association of AD with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Objectives: This study aimed to map a wide spectrum of different diseases among patients with atopic dermatitis compared to healthy controls in the Region of Jönköping County, Sweden with special focus on OCD. Methods: We conducted a retrospective case control study from January 1st 2013 until December 31st 2021 using an electronic medical records database covering the entire population of the County of Jönköping. ICD-10 codes were used to identify patients with AD. Individuals without AD served as controls. A total number of 398,874 citizens under the age of 90 was included in this study and among these 2,946 individuals were diagnosed with AD. Regression analysis was performed to describe the risk for comorbidities in patients with AD compared to controls, adjusted for age and gender. Results: We found an association between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in patients with AD (adjusted odd ratio 2.0, 95% confidence interval 1.5-2.7, p<0.001). Other results are in the line with other studies. Conclusion: Pointing to previous studies, the cause of AD and OCD share several gene-environmental mechanisms and this association should be further studied on larger populations. The results of the present study underline the need for dermatologists to be aware of OCD and to screen for this condition in AD patients because early diagnosis and treatment may improve outcome.

“…The authors also stated that good doctor relationships in the private hospital may have reduced parental anxiety, which may have led to low MOCI scores [ 16 ]. In a letter to the editor published in the same issue, it was noted that the exclusion of mothers who had previously used any neuropsychiatric medication could also explain the negative result [ 17 ]. In addition, although the Turkish validated version MOCI contains 37 questions, the authors’ use of a 30-question questionnaire may have led to bias in the results.…”

Introduction Maternal stress, depression and anxiety are associated with atopic dermatitis (AD) in offspring. However, the relationship between maternal obsessive compulsive symptoms (OCS) and AD in their children is unclear. Aim To investigate whether maternal OCS are associated with AD in offspring. Material and methods A total of 75 children with AD diagnosed by the paediatric allergist and 76 healthy children and their mothers were included in the study. A Turkish version of the Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Inventory (MOCI-T) was used to assess OCS of mothers in both groups. Results Total MOCI-T score and slowness, doubt, and rumination subscale scores were higher in the AD group than in the healthy group ( p = 0.007, p = 0.001, p = 0.012 and p = 0.011, respectively) but washing/cleaning and checking subscale scores did not reach a statistically significant difference ( p = 0.203 and p = 0.053, respectively). There was no correlation between SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) and MOCI-T/subscales scores. Conclusions Our study provides evidence for associations between maternal OCS and infantile AD. The findings support recommendations for psychosocial support of mothers of children with AD.
