contents Epidemiological Comparative Study on Contact Sensitisations in Woodworkers With Occupational Dermatitis: Patch Test Data of the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology, 1999 to 2023 Luisa Heizmann Steffen Schubert Andrea Bauer Detlef Becker Knut Brockow Heinrich Dickel Birger Kränke Claudia Lang Eva Oppel Nicola Wagner Elke Weisshaar David Wilfinger Richard Brans Contact Dermatitis ABSTRACT Background Woodworkers (WW) are exposed to a wide range of occupational hazards and potent allergens. Objectives To describe the contact sensitisation pattern of WW with occupational dermatitis (OD). Methods In a retrospective study, patch test and clinical data collected by the Network of Departments of Dermatology (IVDK) from 1999 to 2023 were analysed. Data of 471 WW with OD (89.6% male) were compared with data of 558 WW without OD and 39 759 patients from other occupational groups (non‐WW) with OD. Results Allergic contact dermatitis (32.5%) was the most frequent diagnosis among WW with OD. Hands (63.5%) were predominantly involved. Face dermatitis (8.5%) and dust exposure (36.6%) as contributing factors were significantly more common than in non‐WW with OD. Sensitisations to epoxy resin (5.5%) were significantly more frequent in male WW with OD than in male WW without OD. Other frequent sensitisations included those to Myroxylon pereirae (7.4%), propolis (5.6%), and colophonium (5.3%). Sensitisations to chromium, cobalt, thiuram mix, fragrance mix II and compositae mix II were significantly less frequent than in male non‐WW patients with OD. Conclusions Allergic contact dermatitis is frequent in WW with OD. Important allergens include resins and plant‐derived substances. Airborne OD may interfere with prevention efforts. 10.1111/cod.70041 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
