FIGURE 3.

Difference in absolute lymphocyte count (95% CI) in people with atopic eczema patients compared to people without atopic eczema (Secondary outcome). Larger squares indicate a larger sample size. Lines indicate the 95% confidence intervals. Associated numbers included in the analyses and exact effect estimates, 95% CI and p‐values are reported in Tables S6 and S10. All covariates are described in the methods and were assessed in the analyses. Final adjusted models included smoking in addition to age and sex (matching variables). External validation in NHANES were adjusted for the same variables as the adjusted model in CPRD. Stratified models were adjusted as well.
