Severe atopic eczema tied to risk of premature death: study
Large UK study suggests it increases the risk of death from a range of causes
Adults with severe atopic eczema face an increased risk of dying from associated health issues, although the absolute risk of death from severe eczema is low, a UK study shows.
Using UK electronic healthcare records, researchers matched more than 526,000 adults with atopic eczema (including some 34,600 with severe eczema) to 2.5 million adults without the condition.
