A study described the global, regional, and national atopic dermatitis prevalence trends among children aged 0-14 years from 2000 to 2021. The findings were published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma &#038; Immunology. 
Researchers analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 with focus on AD prevalence and case numbers. The Annual Average Percentage Change (AAPC) was calculated to assess prevalence trends, the researchers noted.
According to the findings in 2021, global pediatric AD cases reached 72.4 million, a 6.2% increase from 2000. The investigators noted that despite the rise in cases, the prevalence rate decreased averagely by 0.15% (95% CI 0.14-0.16%). Notably, the study showed that regional prevalence varied widely, with the highest rates in Central Asia, high-income Asia Pacific, and Western Europe, and the lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa. 
Moreover, the AD prevalence rates ranged from 1.50% in Rwanda to 10.67% in Mongolia. Between 2000 and 2021, 108 countries or territories showed a significant increase in AD prevalence, with the most notable rises in Russia, Ghana, and Latvia. In contrast, the researchers further noted that 48 countries, including the USA, Syria, and Japan, experienced a marked decrease in AD prevalence. Age and sex patterns showed the highest prevalence in children aged 5-9 years, with girls having higher rates than boys across all age groups, the findings showed.
&#8220;This study reveals complex global patterns in pediatric AD prevalence, underscoring the necessity of regionally tailored public health strategies and further research into the diverse causes of AD to enhance prevention and management efforts,&#8221; the researchers concluded.
