Systematic review of existing literature regarding the prevalence of pediatric atopic dermatitis in Honduras.
JAAD international. 2024 June
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin condition, often multifactorial in origin, and most commonly manifests during childhood. Although there remains a deficit in literature, current data suggest Honduras may have the highest prevalence and severity of AD among all Latin American countries.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the current prevalence of pediatric AD in Honduras and evaluate existing gaps in available literature to monitor disease burden.
METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was performed in March 2023. Articles were removed if they were published before 2007, were of the incorrect study design, or were focused on countries outside of Honduras. The articles were independently reviewed by 2 authors.
RESULTS: The initial literature search yielded 174 studies, of which 7 met inclusion criteria. AD prevalence rates in children in Honduras ranged from 0.7% to 40.0%.
LIMITATIONS: Limitations include elements of study design, analytic methods, study populations, and limited articles.
CONCLUSION: There appears to be a disproportionately higher prevalence and disease burden of pediatric AD in Honduras. Future research should acquire accurate data to further understand the prevalence, incidence, and severity of AD in Honduras.
