Key clinical point: Comparable prevalence rates of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and those with in situ melanoma suggest that AD is not a risk factor for NAFLD.
Major finding: The prevalence rate of NAFLD was similar in patients with AD (24.1%) and those with in situ melanoma (23.2%), but it was significantly higher in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis (49.8%) compared with the other two groups (both P < .01). AD was not independently associated with NAFLD (adjusted odds ratio 1.02; 95% CI 0.78-1.26).
Study details: Findings are from a retrospective cross-sectional study including adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD (n = 144), moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis (n = 466), or in situ melanoma (n = 99).
Disclosures: This study was funded by European Union-Next Generation EU-NRRP M6C2-Investment 2.1 Enhancement and Strengthening of Biomedical Research in the National Health Service. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
