AD with no early onset indicates no eczema at 3 months, but AD by 36 months; early onset AD, eczema at 3 months and AD by 36 months; nonpersistent AD, no observed eczema by 12 months of age or at 36 months’ investigation, and AD diagnosed by 36 months; and persistent AD, eczema both by 12 months of age and at 36 months’ investigation, and AD diagnosis by 36 months.
