Table 1. Patient Characteristics and Demographics.
Summary of clinical characteristics and demographics of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients, categorized as intrinsic AD by IgE levels <200kU/L and extrinsic AD with IgE levels 200kU/L. IgE levels and eosinophil counts differed significantly between the groups (p=1.4×10−15 and 0.006, respectively), while mean Scoring of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) was very similar among the groups (p=0.46).

|---|---|---|---|
| IgE (kU/L)* | 52.1 ± 22.7 | 3,576.2 ± 11,429 | 1.4×10−15 |
| SCORAD* | 54 ± 10.6 | 53 ± 17.3 | 0.46 |
| Eosinophils (%)* | 2.9 ± 0.02 | 6 ± 0.03 | 0.006 |
| Total Number of Patients (n) | 9 | 42 | - |
| Gender (Males/Females) (n) | 8 / 1 | 23 / 19 | 0.07 |
