Season of birth and seasonal variations in the severity of atopic dermatitis (AD). (A–D): Violin plot of SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) distribution for patients born in spring, summer, autumn, and winter when they seek medical treatment in different seasons. The thick dotted line represents the median SCORAD, and the thin dotted line represents the quartiles (25% and 75%). The width of the violin plot represents the density of the data distribution. The larger the width, the more data in the range and the greater the density. (E–H): Line chart of changing trends in SCORAD for patients born in spring, summer, autumn, and winter when they seek medical treatment in different seasons.
