Key clinical point: Risk factors affecting oral Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi) treatment were prevalent among adult patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), especially older individuals, thus necessitating careful risk assessment among patients before JAKi therapy initiation.
Major finding: Nearly half (49.5%) of the patients with AD at some point had at least one risk factor that could affect JAKi treatment and most (60.3%) patients age ≥ 65 years had at least three risk factors. The recorded non-modifiable risk factors included cancer (5.6%), smoking history (15.6%), age ≥ 65 years (12.4%), and major adverse cardiovascular events (2.6%).
Study details: This cross-sectional study included adult patients with AD from the Danish national registers (n = 18,618) and Danish Skin Cohort (n = 3573).
Disclosures: This study did not disclose the source of funding. Several authors declared receiving research support, lecture honoraria, or consulting honoraria from or serving as speakers or advisory board members for various organizations.
