There are a few studies about the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and atopic dermatitis (AD). It is implied that both diseases have common pathophysiologic mechanisms and can affect each other. However, little information is available on the effect of AD on the clinical course of patients with IBD. This is a multi-center, retrospective, observational study. We define AD as a chronic eczematoid dermatosis diagnosed by dermatologists. Patients with concurrent IBD and AD were defined as a case group. Age, gender, and IBD subtype-matched patients without AD were included as a reference group. The numbers of patients in the case and reference groups were 61 and 122 respectively. There was a significantly shorter biologics-free survival in the case group than that in the reference group according to the multivariable-adjusted Cox regression analysis with the onset age, disease duration, smoking status, use of steroid, use of immunomodulator, initial C-reactive protein, initial erythrocyte sedimentation rate, presence of other allergic diseases and initial disease severity [hazard ratio (HR) 1.828, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.022–3.271,  p  = .042]. The trend was consistent in the subgroup analysis with ulcerative colitis (HR 3.498, 95% CI 1.066–11.481,  p  = .039), but not with Crohn’s disease (HR 1.542, 95% CI 0.720–3.301,  p  = .265). AD showed a significant effect on the biologics-free survival of patients with IBD and especially the UC subtype. Further mechanistic research is required to elucidate the pathogenesis of AD on the clinical course of IBD.

Atopic dermatitis is associated with the clinical course of inflammatory bowel disease
