*2M means recurrent eczema on the antecubital or/and popliteal fossae, and 1M means recurrent eczema on the other locations except the antecubital/popliteal fossae.

AD, atopic dermatitis; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; ER, error rate; M, major criteria; m, minor criteria.
