Environmental Exposures and Atopic Dermatitis: An Umbrella Review

A supplementary document summarizing an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses on environmental risk factors for atopic dermatitis. The review synthesizes evidence from 20 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, covering exposures like antibiotics, smoking, and air pollution. It was authored by Sijia Chen and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Summarizing evidence on environmental risk factors for atopic dermatitis based on the review's categorized exposures.
• Identifying age-specific susceptibility patterns for atopic dermatitis based on the review's stratified findings.
• Assessing methodological quality of systematic reviews on atopic dermatitis using the AMSTAR 2 tool mentioned in the description.
• Evaluating the strength of evidence for associations like antibiotic exposure and air pollution with atopic dermatitis risk.

Strengths

• Synthesizes evidence from 20 systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
• Categorizes exposures into distinct groups including microbes, pollution, and lifestyle factors.
• Examines age-specific susceptibility in children, adults, and mixed-age populations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is a 269.1 KB DOCX file, indicating a limited scope focused on review synthesis rather than primary data.
