Key Points Question Is atopic dermatitis (AD) associated with lower educational attainment? Findings This nationwide matched cohort study of 61 153 Danish children found evidence of reduced attainment of lower and upper secondary education in 5927 children with a hospital diagnosis of AD compared with 55 226 matched children from the general population; however, absolute differences were less than 3.5%. Estimates were less pronounced in a secondary analysis comparing patients with their full siblings. Meaning Hospital-diagnosed AD is associated with reduced educational attainment, but the clinical importance is uncertain owing to small absolute differences and possible confounding by familial factors.
