Birth month as a risk factor of allergic diseases: Analysis of database of about 50 thousand children
This is the first study in Russia to demonstrate that children born in October in Moscow face elevated odds of atopic dermatitis, while children born in December, January, and February are more susceptible to allergic rhinitis. The association detected was independent of sex, age, family allergic history and combination of allergic diseases, which merits further investigation.
