1309 Variation in the clinical presentation of atopic dermatitis in adults across self-identified racial groups: A single center, cross-sectional study

Our study sought to explore if there are any differences in the clinical presentation and treatment patterns among self-reported black white adults with atopic dermatitis (AD). We performed a single-center retrospective chart review included (≥18 years of age) AD-related ICD-10 codes. Descriptive statistics were used summarize categorical variables as proportions (percentages) logistic regression (odds ratio [OR]; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]) was examine between cohorts AD. In our cohort AD, those who self-identified more likely have disease involvement extensors (OR = 1.23 [1.01 – 1.48]), neck 1.36 [1.12 1.66]), torso 1.48 [1.23 1.78]), flexural lichenification 1.87 [1.53 2.27]), non-flexural 2.27 [1.79 2.87]), follicular eczema 2.13 [1.41 3.20]) compared whites. Even though we found no statistical reporting personal history other diseases cohorts, blacks report family whites 1.37 [1.13 specifically asthma 1.55 1.95]). also that onset childhood persistent 0.70 [0.58 0.84]). Lastly, despite difference level severity, less receive systemic immunosuppressive therapy 0.34 [0.23 0.50]) or dupilumab 0.63 [0.49 0.81]) findings demonstrated AD may present distinct features differ from whites, be higher-potency treatments similar levels severity
