Poster Q&A | Sheng-Pei Wang, MD MPH

Poster number LB1687  | Poster Hall Space | NS Building, which is a 5-minute walk from the main venue.  

The poster summarizes a systematic search investigating the impact of 10 climatic hazards on atopic dermatitis. The study found that all the studied climatic hazards had theoretical or empirical evidence for aggravating different aspects of atopic dermatitis, including pathogenesis, prevalence, healthcare utilization, and disease severity, with minimal evidence for improvement. Direct, indirect, and synergistic effects are identified.

Dr. Wang, who is presenting the poster, is the recipient of the IEC’s 2022 Clinical Fellowship, a program which has allowed her to work with IEC Councilor Dr. Lawrence Eichenfield. The 16 authors include IEC Councilors Katrina Abuabara, Valeria Aoki, Sara J. Brown, Sandipan Dhar, Lawrence Eichenfield, Carsten Flohr, Alan Irvine, Jenny E. Murase, and Jacob P.
