Parents and health staff perceive hen's egg allergy (HEA) as a common food in early childhood, but the true incidence is unclear because population-based studies with gold-standard diagnostic criteria are lacking.To establish course of challenge-confirmed HEA children, from birth until age 24 months, different European regions.In EuroPrevall cohort study, children suspected their age-matched controls were evaluated 9 countries, using standardized protocol including measurement HE-specific...
There is little information on pregnancy and delivery in patients with hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency (C1INH-HAE). The aim of this study was describe the effect deliveries symptoms C1INH-HAE review need for safety treatments available during period.Retrospective using a purpose-designed questionnaire 61 from 5 hospitals specialized management HAE Spain. outcomes measured were number pregnancies, changes delivery, mode type anesthesia received, tolerance treatments.We...
Abstract Introduction Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a disease with high impact on the quality of life patients. There are some evaluations economic cost in developed countries, but there little information about developing countries. Our aim was to assess diagnostic and therapeutic expenses CSU five Latin American (LA) Methods A noninterventional multicenter cross‐sectional study conducted LA countries: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru. To determine frequency medical...
Chronic urticaria (CU) is characterized by itchy recurrent wheals, angioedema, or both for 6 weeks longer. CU can greatly impact patients' physical and emotional quality of life. Patients with chronic conditions are increasingly seeking information from communications technologies (ICTs) to manage their health. The objective this study was assess the frequency usage preference ICTs perspective patients CU.In cross-sectional study, 1800 were recruited primary healthcare centers, university...
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a systemic, multifactorial disease that causes significant morbidity and health care burden in Latin America (LA). Data on AD are scarce LA. Lack of registries non-standardized study methodologies, coupled with region-specific genetic, immunological, environmental factors, hamper data collection. A panel LA experts was given series relevant questions to address before conference. Each narrative discussed edited through numerous rounds deliberation until achieving...
Abstract Background Information/communication technologies such as mobile phone applications (apps) would enable chronic urticaria (CU) patients to self‐evaluate their disease activity and control. Yet, recently Antó et al (2021) reported a global paucity of apps for with CU. In this analysis, we assessed patient interest in using monitor CU control questions from the information communication (CURICT) study. Methods The methodology CURICT has been reported. Briefly, 23‐item questionnaire...
Patients with chronic urticaria (CU) are increasingly using information and communication technologies (ICTs) to manage their health. What CU patients expect from ICTs which they prefer remains unknown. We assessed why use ICTs, ones prefer, what drives expectations choices.
Abstract Background CRUSE® is an app that allows patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) to monitor their daily disease activity through the use of visual analogue scales (VASs). We aimed determine concurrent validity, reliability, responsiveness and minimal important difference (MID) VASs. Method s evaluated properties three VASs: VAS for how much were affected by CSU (‘VAS urticaria’), impact on work/school productivity productivity’) EQ‐5D. Concurrent validity was assessed...
BackgroundFew studies have explored the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic urticaria (CU). Our study aims to fill this gap by determining frequency of risk categories for OSA how they might correlate with specific CU patient reported outcome measures activity score (UAS7), control test (UCT) quality life questionnaire (CU-Q2oL).MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional involving cohort 171 Latin American patients. Descriptive statistics were used determine proportions...
Background: Information/communication technologies such as mobile phone applications (apps) would enable chronic urticaria (CU) patients to self-evaluate their disease activity and control. Yet, recently Antó et al (2021) reported a global paucity of apps for with CU. In this analysis, we assessed patient interest in using monitor CU control questions from the CURICT study, Methods: The methodology has been reported. Briefly, 23-item questionnaire was completed by 1,841 17 UCAREs across...
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disease that significantly impacts the quality of life patients. Although there are multiple evidence-based guidelines, they usually aimed at providing recommendations to AD specialists rather than primary care physicians (PCPs). The aim this study was construct consensus document for PCPs, with presenting allow general practitioners, family physicians, pediatricians, internists and emergency provide appropriate patients, facilitating their diagnosis, management,...
The COVID-19 pandemic started its outbreak in South America mid-February 2020, causing hundreds of thousands deaths within a period 8 months. This ecological study aimed to investigate whether environmental factors like air quality and climate could explain the variability mortality rate across 36 American cities spanning different regimes. cities’ pollution background were characterised using daily data from surface weather stations tropospheric column NO2 OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument)....
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), started its outbreak in Brazil mid-February 2020. <b>Methods:</b> This ecological study aimed to identify relationships between mortality rates 27 cities and environmental factors, namely climate air quality. To characterize cities' pollution background, daily data from 2015 2020 of temperature tropospheric column NO2 OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument), were used. Negative binomial regression...
