“…8 As in previous studies, 17,38 we found no effect of sex on the prognosis, although contradictory findings have been published. 7,8,39 Poor socioeconomic status has been shown to affect outcome adversely in many chronic disorders. [23][24][25][26][27][28] We found that the prognosis of OHE in terms of aggravated or persistently severe disease after 1 year was clearly better for patients with high to medium socioeconomic status at baseline, but the association was not statistically significant.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Previous studies also indicate that OHE has an appreciable impact on quality of life (QOL), although the number of publications is limited. [8][9][10] The magnitude of the problem is supported by the fact that OHE is the most frequently recognized occupational disease inDenmarkandmanyWesterncountries. 11,12 Occupational hand eczema may occur at any age but is most common among young female workers.…”

“…Some retrospective studies found a better prognosis: in a questionnaire study with a response rate of 68%, out of 201 workers with OCD, 76% noted improvement and 40% reported that they were currently free of any eruption (Nethercott and Holness 1994). Approximately one third noted that their skin disease interfered with household, work, or recreational activities.…”

The different occupational health systems and legislations in the countries across Europe makes it difficult for one to sketch a detailed picture for the whole continent. Reporting bias and selection bias have a considerable impact on the perceived prevalence and incidence, while reliable data are hard to extract from official registries. Data from one region in Germany will serve as an example. Comparison with data from other sources yields an estimate of 0.7 to 1.5 cases per 1,000 per year as a gross average, while the problem in specific occupational groups is more pronounced. Reliable data on social and economic impact are very scarce.

“…During the first half of 1999 in Denmark, 431 recognized cases of OCD were observed; ACD was judged to be the significant contributing factor in 48% of women and 40% of men. 11 Nethercott and Holness 12 reported a nearly identical distribution among workers with OCD in Toronto. In the United States, the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) reported significantly more occupational ACD (60%) than ICD (32%).…”
