Risk for Meniere Disease Higher in Patients With Atopic Dermatitis
By Lori Solomon HealthDay Reporter
FRIDAY, Dec. 6, 2024 -- The prevalence of Meniere disease is higher in people with atopic dermatitis (AD), according to a study published online Nov. 12 in The Laryngoscope.
Cha Dong Yeo, M.D., Ph.D., from Jeonbuk National University in Jeonju, South Korea, and colleagues used data from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort to explore the potential correlation between AD and Meniere disease. The analysis included 84,579 individuals with and without AD.
The researchers found that the overall risk for Meniere disease was higher in the AD group (hazard ratio [HR], 1.44). Risk varied in a subgroup analysis and was lower for men (adjusted HR, 0.42) and higher in the middle-aged (40 to 59 years; HR, 4.99) and in older-age groups (60 years and older; HR, 8.21). Additionally, the risk for developing Meniere disease was higher in patients with comorbidities, including allergic rhinitis (adjusted HR, 1.18), allergic contact dermatitis (adjusted HR, 1.32), and allergic conjunctivitis (adjusted HR, 1.54).
"These findings highlight the importance of comprehensive management strategies that address both Meniere's disease and AD in affected patients," the authors write. "As our understanding of the relationship between AD and Meniere's disease continues to develop, further research will be crucial in creating targeted interventions to improve outcomes and optimize care for these patients."
