SD: Standard deviation. EASI: eczema area and severity index. COR: Cortisol. One-way ANOVA was performed to compare the three groups. P < 0.05 was considered significant different. 1Significantly higher versus group B (P = 0.004) and group A (P < 0.0001). 2Significantly higher versus group A (P < 0.0001).
