Key Points Question Is the incidence rate of pediatric atopic dermatitis still increasing? Findings In this cohort study, all children resident in Norway younger than 6 years from January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2015, were included. The overall incidence rate of atopic dermatitis increased from 0.028 per person-year in 2009 to 0.034 per person-year in 2014, and for children younger than 1 year, the incidence rate increased from 0.052 per person-year in 2009 to 0.073 per person-year in 2014. Meaning This nationwide study suggests an increase in the incidence rate of pediatric atopic dermatitis, especially among children younger than 1 year.
