Abstract
In this nationwide Danish cohort study, mild-to-moderate chronic hand eczema (CHE) was not associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Severe CHE showed a marginally increased risk of MACE, including ischaemic stroke and mainly in hyperkeratotic and dyshidrotic subtypes, most likely reflecting residual confounding.Keywords
