Does improvement management of atopic dermatitis influence the appearance of respiratory allergic diseases? A follow-up study

Table 4 Evolution of AD in 176 children: retrospective analysis aimed at identifying the associated risk factors linked to the appearance of RC and asthma, made through the evaluation of the odds correct ratio (OR) of models of logistic regression applied to the data.

Dependent variables	Covariate	OR	OR LCL 95%	OR UCL 95%	P
RC onset	Asthma onset	2.764	1.108	6.896	0.029

Asthma onset	RC onset	2.616	1.034	6.617	0.042
