Results from unadjusted and adjusted multivariable mixed-effects linear regression models examining the association between atopic dermatitis and nighttime and total sleep duration at 8 time points (30, 42, 57, 69, 81, 115, 140, and 186 months) between ages 2 and 16 years. The multivariable model adjusted for potential confounders, including child’s sex, age, race/ethnicity, and comorbid asthma or allergic rhinitis; household smoking exposure; maternal educational level, social class, and age at delivery; crowding index; and financial difficulties score.

Unadjusted model with 11 549 individuals; mean (range) of 5.3 (1-8) observations per individual.

c

Adjusted model with 9109 individuals; mean (range) of 5.0 (1-7) observations per individual.

d

Unadjusted model with 11 531 individuals; mean (range) of 5.3 (1-8) observations per individual.

e

Adjusted model with 9101 individuals; mean (range) of 5.0 (1-7) observations per individual.
