Özet
Bu çalışmada, egzema prevalansını ve etkileyen risk faktörlerini araştırmayı amaçladık. Çalışma, 6-18 yaş arasındaki okul çağı çocukları rasgele seçilerek yapıldı. Soru listesi, International Study of Asthma and Allergies In Childhood (ISAAC) soru listesi temel alınarak oluşturuldu.Adana'da 3164 (% 51.9 kız, % 48.1 erkek), Payas'ta 1353 (% 50.5 kız, % 49.5 erkek) öğrenci çalışmaya dahil edildi. Egzema prevalansı; Adana'da % 8.3, Payasta ise % 9.3 olarak saptandı. Bu iki yerleşim birimindeki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p=0.27). Ailesel atopi, allerjik rinit ve astımın öğrencide bulunması, Adana ve Payas'taki çocuklarda egzema için risk oluşturmaktaydı (P0.05). Payas'taki çocuklar için ise annenin sigara içmesi, çocukların tüylü oyuncağının olması egzema için risk oluştururken (p0.05).
