Reliably estimating prevalences of atopic children: an epidemiological study in an extensive and representative primary care database

Atopic disorders: Clinical information improves prevalence estimates The prevalence of atopic disorders in children can be more reliably calculated by incorporating clinical information with diagnosis data. Researchers in the Netherlands, led by David Pols from the Erasmus University Medical Center...
