The aim of this study is to examine whether venous thromboembolism is higher in people with atopic dermatitis compared and those without and to explore the risk in particular subgroups of people with AD such as those with higher body mass index or using oestrogen containing contraceptives. Such insights will be valuable for clinicians in advising patients with atopic dermatitis regarding venous thromboembolism prevention and detection and when selecting atopic dermatitis treatments.
This study aims to investigate the incidence of venous thromboembolism in people who are diagnosed with atopic dermatitis.
