Key clinical point: Passive smoking during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for atopic dermatitis (AD) in offspring; however, the association between active smoking during pregnancy and AD in offspring remains unestablished.
Major finding: Passive smoking during pregnancy led to a higher risk for AD in offspring (odds ratio [OR] 1.52; 95% CI 1.36-1.70); however, active smoking during pregnancy did not increase the risk for AD in offspring (OR 0.96; 95% CI 0.86-1.07).
Study details: This meta-analysis of 15 observational studies included children or mother-child pairs who underwent either questionnaire-based or physician assessment for AD diagnosis and questionnaire-based assessment or cotinine level measurement for evaluating exposure to active or passive smoking.
Disclosures: This study was supported by the Key Scientific and Technological Research Projects of Henan Province and the Key Scientific Research Projects in Universities of Henan Province, China. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
