Figure 2

Correlation between the salivary cortisol levels, the SCORAD index, and other clinical severity markers in AD patients. (a) Significant correlation between the SCORAD index and salivary cortisol levels (ng/mL) (𝑟=0.42, 𝑃<0.05). (b–e) No significant correlations were observed between the salivary cortisol level and the serum levels of TARC, IgE, and LDH or the number of peripheral blood eosinophils.
