Odds of mental health conditions in children according to eczema status after adjusting for potential confounders.^*

Mental Health Condition	No Eczema	Eczema
Mental Health Condition	Reference	Mild aOR (95%CI)	p-value	Moderate aOR (95%CI)	p-value	Severe aOR (95% CI)	p-value
ADHD	1.00	1.66 (1.28, 2.15)	<.0001	1.76 (1.30, 2.38)	0.0004	4.35 (2.73, 6.93)	<.0001
Anxiety	1.00	1.44 (1.01, 2.05)	0.09	2.18 (1.47, 3.23)	0.0006	2.81 (1.28, 6.17)	0.03
Depression	1.00	1.64 (1.06, 2.53)	0.08	2.02 (1.31,3.14)	<0.0097	2.12 (1.00, 4.48)	0.22
Conduct Disorder	1.00	1.59 (1.17, 2.18)	0.0068	1.82 (1.22, 2.72)	0.0159	3.90 (1.88, 8.09)	0.0016
Autism	1.00	1.78 (1.14, 2.77)	0.0159	3.25 (1.79, 5.90)	0.0003	7.41 (3.82, 14.36)	<.0001

Covariates in each of the models included eczema severity category (mild, moderate, severe), gender, age category, ethnicity/race composite variable, household income, highest educational level for the household, family size, residence in metropolitan area, presence of a tobacco smoker in the household, and current asthma. ADHD was added to all models except for the one describing ADHD. Covariates with Chi-square p-values greater than 0.05 were removed from the final models. All p-values are FDR-adjusted.
