چکیده
Results The point prevalence of AD in our cohort was 18.7% (299/1597) at 6 months and 15.52% (232/1494) at 12 months. TEWL was lowest at birth, with mean reading 7.32 gwater/m2/hr (±3.33 gwater/m2/hr). It rose between birth and 2 months, mean 10.97 gwater/m2/hr (±7.98 gwater/m2/hr) where it plateaued at 6 months with mean reading 10.71 gwater/m2/hr (±7.10 gwater/ m2/hr). A raised TEWL at 2 months was independently predictive of Atopic dermatitis at 12months, but not 6 months when controlling for mode of recruitment, parental atopy and presence of AD.

Evaluation of skin barrier function in allergic contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis using method of the continuous TEWL measurement.
PURPOSE The aim of study was to determine usefulness of the method of continuous TEWL measurement in the evaluation of skin barrier function in physiological conditions and in allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and atopic dermatitis (AD). MATERIAL AND METHODS Study was conducted on a group of 86 persons: 48 patients with allergic contact dermatitis, 18 with atopic dermatitis and 20 healthy ind...
متن کاملThe effect of topical virgin coconut oil on SCORAD index, transepidermal water loss, and skin capacitance in mild to moderate pediatric atopic dermatitis: a randomized, double-blind, clinical trial.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease characterized by defects in the epidermal barrier function and cutaneous inflammation, in which transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is increased and the ability of the stratum corneum to hold water is impaired, causing decreased skin capacitance and hydration. This study investigated the effects of topical virgin coconut oil (VCO) and mineral oil, r...
متن کاملSkin barrier impairment at birth predicts food allergy at 2 years of age.
BACKGROUND Transcutaneous exposure to food allergens can lead to food sensitization (FS)/food allergy (FA). We measured skin barrier function in early infancy and related it to the later development of FS/FA at age 2 years. OBJECTIVE We sought to examine the relationship between early life skin barrier function and FA in infancy. METHODS Infants in the Babies After Scope: Evaluating the Lon...
متن کاملSkin barrier dysfunction measured by transepidermal water loss at 2 days and 2 months predates and predicts atopic dermatitis at 1 year
BACKGROUND Loss-of-function mutations in the skin barrier protein filaggrin (FLG) are a major risk for atopic dermatitis (AD). The pathogenic sequence of disturbances in skin barrier function before or during the early development of AD is not fully understood. A more detailed understanding of these events is needed to develop a clearer picture of disease pathogenesis. A robust, noninvasive tes...
متن کاملTime-of-Day-Dependent Variations of Scratching Behavior and Transepidermal Water Loss in Mice that Developed Atopic Dermatitis
Scratching and skin barrier dysfunctions are pivotal features and therapeutic targets of atopic dermatitis (AD); however, time-of-day-dependent variations of these characteristics remain unclear. NC/Tnd mice have been shown to exhibit severe scratching behavior and skin barrier disruption together with the development of spontaneous atopic dermatitis when they are raised under air-uncontrolled ...
