Bold value = P-value < 0.05.

Italic variables are significant variables at multivariale model.

TCS, topical corticosteroids; TTx, topical treatment.

Only independent variables with P-value less than 0.05 in multivariate model are displayed in the table.

Adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, smoking, alcohol consumption and number of disease co-morbidities.

Statistical significance at Bonferroni-corrected P-value < 0.003.
