Abstract:
【Objective】 To investigate the temperament factor scores and typing characteristics in infants with early eczema, aiming to provide evidence for early intervention in infant eczema. 【Methods】 It was a retrospective and 1: 2 matched case-control study. Using the domestic standardized Early Infancy Temperament Questionnaire(EITQ), we evaluated the temperament factor scores and temperament types of 56 one-month-old eczema infants and 112 healthy infants and then compared the results. 【Results】 The distribution of temperament types is featured with significantly higher proportion of the male infants with D type and I-D type but significantly lower proportion of the male infants with E type and I-E type in the eczema group compared with those in the control group(all P<0.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis of temperament dimension demonstrated that activity, rhythmicity, adaptability and intensity were the influencing factors of eczema (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis(backward stepwise) of temperament dimension showed that adaptability and intensity were the independent influencing factors, and infants in eczema group had strong adaptability and weak intensity. 【Conclusion】 Infants with early eczema have strong adaptability and weak intensity, we should provide early intervention based on their temperament characteristics.
